Mario vs. Spyro

Mario vs. Spyro

Spyro is probably the most requested character for these fights which is really surprising to me. I didn’t think he had the following and, though I’ve never played a Spyro game, I decided to give it a shot and please the fans. I always try to make these seem like even fights but, in this [...]

Mario vs. Chell

Mario vs. Chell

While people continue with the April Fools nonsense, I aim to bring the Versus goodness. This is the most characters I’ve crammed into one of these yet. Sure, one is a potato and there are two Marios but hey, they all count! I don’t think I have a lot to say here otherwise. There’s a [...]

Mario vs. Sora

Mario vs. Sora

This is proof that “not according to plan” can yield positive results sometimes. My plan was to have the fight take place in a Mushroom Kingdom version of the platforms from the very opening levels of the first two Kingdom Hearts games. This is mostly because the worlds in KH are largely Disney based and [...]

Mario vs. Laharl

Mario vs. Laharl

Confession: I sunk way too much time into the first Disgaea. This came out pretty well, I think. I know that pixelated Mario heads for maps have been done to death in every game with a map editor but it just made too much sense to put it here. It was done in Google SketchUp [...]

Pokémon Posse

Pokémon Posse

This is the culmination of my current Pokémon obsession. It’s what my main party will most likely end up looking like. And no, I don’t want to hear about the redundancy of having two Electric types or about how I’m missing X type to go against Y type. I haven’t played these games since the [...]

Mario vs. The Heavy

Mario vs. The Heavy

Why did the Heavy try to kill Mario? To get his hat. It was only a matter of time until I started bringing the cast of Team Fortress 2, possibly my favorite multiplayer game ever, into these versus pieces and this is the end result. Words and progress animation below.

Space Brain

Space Brain

So, after finding out about this only three days before the deadline ended, I immediately started working on my entry and, thus, Space Brain was cobbled together from a few different characters in my sketchbook. To be honest, this was one of those few occasions where I entered something for the fun of it more [...]

Mario vs. Meat Boy

Mario vs. Meat Boy

As I chugged away with my second Mega Man Tribute entry, I felt I needed a break from all that Blue Bomber work so I knocked out this baby. A secondary reason for doing this is that I’ve had the idea for it for a while now and I wanted to tackle it while the awesomeness of [...]

Redhead Against Yellow

Redhead Against Yellow

A relatively quick piece done to test out PaintTool SAI. It’s a solid program, basically a stripped down Photoshop that focuses mainly on brush and rendering elements. I enjoy how effortless some of the blending is as well as how, because of it’s nature I guess, it encourages you to do all coloring within a [...]

Team Yagami

Team Yagami

The King of Fighters XIII hype train is running full steam ahead on my side of the street so I decided to knock out this piece in honor of it. It was originally going to be just Mature and Vice but I threw Iori in there for good measure even though I’m not completely sold [...]
