Shenanigans & Tomfoolery

Having Tetris blocks about to crush Mario was the obvious thing to do here because, well, what else would they do? A little more difficult was coming up with a way to make them threatening so I crushed Mario’s hand to make the stakes a little more clearer. Also, after my previous Mario fights, it [...]

I thought the Hadouken effect was gonna give me trouble but it turns out it was everything else that did. This isn’t my favorite but I really sank some time on it and I refused to put it down until I was satisfied with what I had, so much so that I added the hobo [...]

The first trailer for Metal Gear Rising definitely piqued my curiosity but the long secrecy behind the game along with the lack of any solid information on what it was actually gonna play like (stealth? action? both?) and Kojima Productions’ ability to truly deliver on the “Lighting Fast Action” tagline has caused my interest in [...]

A was a little lost as to how to handle this at first but it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites now. Two things I like about this one: 1) It’s actually the first one where part of the figure is cropped which is a result of me thinking a little more about composition from [...]

Much to say about this one. First of all, if you haven’t heard of The Binding of Isaac, go on Steam and download it for the “we’re giving it away for free” price of 5 bucks (less if you get it during a Steam sale). You’ll get countless hours of fun from the randomly generated [...]

Man, it’s good to have a scanner. I’ve had this sitting in my sketchbook for what seems like ages but it’s finally done. It’s not bloody or too violent but the prospect of Mario’s hand exploding should leave lots to the imagination, I think. The background is my nod to the Atari cover of the [...]

Confession: I’ve never played Space Channel 5. That being said, I’ve always liked the look of it and one day, in my laziness, I was watching some videos of the game on YouTube and I started to get that itch I get when I want to draw something so I did. I tried to go [...]

And the battles continue… The reason for doing this piece if two-fold. The first reason is that my Mario Versus stuff is all pretty saturated, bright and colorful which I actually like, but I also wanted something that had a different feel to it and what better than the monochromatic Limbo for that? The second [...]

My immediate reaction after seeing the above “target demo” (meaning it’s not actual gameplay but rather what the developer is aiming for with the game) of Rainbow Six Patriots was that I wanted to remain as far away from the game as possible and, for once, it’s not simply because I dislike military shooters. Rather, [...]

I hate being apologetic but man, this is probably the worst zombie ever. I just couldn’t get myself to make her look ugly so I implied decay via the black bits and let her be. Entirely flat coloring has piqued my interest on occasion and I gave it a shot here which, in turn, forced [...]
