The banner and some pics of Emerald City Comic Con

This is how the banner came out.  Figured some peeps might want to see it undistorted and clean like.

It came out rad.  Props to the printers.

Don't lie. You've never seen a better banner.

 These are some of my favorite cosplay pics from in front of the booth.
 
Look at dat awesome banner up there behind everything.  Word?

SO CUTE!

Also SO CUTE.  Look - she's like Mario but sweeter.

Met this girl and her buddies and they were super fly (tm).

These two girls were hilarious and super cool.  Skills at cosplay.

Mother f_cking BOB'S in the house.

Best family ever.

Moar Sketch

Here's another take on the cosplay concept.  It's a sort of mashup of a bunch of refs into one little package.  And for the nerd impared out there (which can't be many because, well, you're reading an digital art blog) I've listed all of the things I'd like to paint into it.

Luigi, Chun Li, Samus, Pokemon, Cammie, Lara Croft, Zelda - I'm pretty much ripping it all.  

I guess you could kind of say like a DJ would do with music, I'd like to do with these characters.

Commence the music.

Those are all game references, but I had to fight to keep a star wars bit out of this.  Oooh - maybe she could be holding a black and red umbrella over her shoulder to mix in a tad of resident evil.

Hopefully I'll find time, of which there is little presently, to fill out the rest of the piece.

As always, your comments are welcome and very much appreciated.

be seeing you,

Princess Peach (Birth of Venus) painting is done and prints are up.

The art show was AWESOME.  Thank you to all the artists who participated.  So many awesome video game pieces.

Here's the finish on my Princess Peach Birth of Venus Botticelli rip.

It's Peach popping out of a 3Ds, the original I sold at the show has a transparent layer with some clothing draped over the figures so it's more safe for work. (^__^)  I really really like how it came out.  Email me if you took pics, because I was a dolt and did not do such.

If this doesn't make you smile, your heart is dead to me.

Video Game art from me? Never! Mario, Zelda, and more Samus

It's that time again...Time for me to do more video game art.  These are all sketches for an upcoming piece I've just finished. Although there are still finishing touches to be done - as a commenter recently said, POST MORE YOU BASTARD.

I'll accept your challenge, and I will answer by being slightly more active than I was last month.

Let's start with a host of sketches.  So the concept was to put everybody on a little pedestal made out of a piece of the game they were featured in.  Good guys on the left, supporting or alts on the right, and evil bastards in the middle.

I love to paint characters standing in space, so it really worked out for me.  I haven't been into that this month as much as last, eh.

Mario, Bowser in the Clown Car, and Mario's tall ass brother, Luigi

Samus in her battle gear, MB ALA Metroid I, and Zero Suit Samus

Link - Grrrrr, Ganon - as a pig and not some weird red head, and Zelda as an archer princess (or some sh_t)

I hope you like the art.  I'll keep at it and try to get better, so that the next posts will be good. Ok?

thanks for stopping by,
&Rew.

New VideoGame/Anime print up with Mario and Misty

here:
http://tinyurl.com/3vclkg8

Limited to 25 pieces signed and numbered

Big digital version of the painting:
Mario, Misty from Pokemon, Catbuses from Ghibli movies. There's a ton in there. All anime or games that I heart very much. On a corner of Japan called Shibuya 109. Google it and you'll see the same shots.

And ya, I was gratuitous about the booty. Why the f_ck not?
