Did you see!? Three Deviation in under a day!

Um, mind you, I photoshopped the two Pokemon sets while I was sick, and just finished coloring the comic after work Saturday afternoon.

I'm not doing a heck of a lot of video game playing right now...taking a few shots at a time at Brutal Legend (it's always the infernal driving missions! If it's not escorting a bus through narrow canyons it's trying to capture fire-breathing monsters before they blow up your motorcycle!). Though, I must say, one of the driving parts is awesome. You're escaping Lyonwhite's Pleasure dome, as these big un-killable monsters, the Bleeding Death, tear the place apart. So you're driving through this collapsing palace, dodging debris and monsters, with the insanely awesome "Through The Fire And Flames" by DragonForce blasting. Intense stuff...I bet it'd even be a bigger rush if one was highly caffeinated at the time.

Anyway, with games caught up, and my book-reading and DVD-watching caught up (well, until Tuesday), it frees up time for me to actually so some art. More comics hopefully, and I was thinking about doing some more remix art. I really do want to get around to doing a decent Dragon Ball Saga art remix...I have some awesome plans for Frieza and crew. I also did do other Super Mario designs beyond Mario himself...the first drawing I did of Bowser looked really fierce!

I don't think people really enjoy the scale, size-wise, of the Super Mario Bros. world/the Mushroom kingdom. When you start the game as Mario or Luigi, you're normal human size. I'd say Mario would be in the 5'8"-5'10" range, with Luigi closer to like 6' tall. The Magic Mushroom doubles your size, so Super Mario and Luigi would be like 111 6" and 12' tall respectively. Then you have Bowser, who is like nearly double that height, putting him at over 20 feet tall!

I have similar theories on the Zelda pantheon, but due to endless variant timelines/universes, it might be a while until I tackle that. I have some neat ideas for the adult Link, and I'm talking beyond :icongenzoman: 's version ( [link] ) or the bitter, goatee-sporting police chief from "There Will Be Brawl"

Any requests for anime and/or game character remixes will be considered promptly!

Almost Got 'Em All!

Okay...I have nine and a half more Pokemon Sprites, mostly of legendary and the exclusive variety, left to go. Then will come more art, finally, and lots and lots of pixel block Pokemon submissions! On the down side, it seems my favorite sprite reference site, Spriter's Resource, is gone! The domain registry expired, so until I search for more stuff on my own I'm not going to be able to find more sprites!

However, one of these days I want to get another of the big (2000) piece sets of Pixel Blocks...I'll finally have enough of the secondary colors to do larger human sprites, including the Dragonball Z characters! I also have ideas for building 3D sprites of Mario and Link, amongst others...only time will tell if/when these happen!

Mind you, I just got Brutal Legend today, so that's going to be eating up some of my time soon LOL

Art Update

There are REAL Go Go Pets! The toy line is also called Zhu Zhu Pets...they're pretty much toy hamsters that you can get hamster habitats and stuff for. So, I'm going to be doing a quasi-relaunch of the comic. Explaining what the little pets are, and also giving them a new name.

I've been busy working on building Pokemon sprites. Once they're all photographed, I plan on trying to put them into group pictures and posting them fairly often. There's going to be LOTS, that's for sure!

Artistic Pursuits

There IS a good reason I haven't posted art recently. Besides, well, laziness/sleepiness. I'd been tackling doing Pixel Block sprites to complete the Pokedex series I'd started here. Now, the sprites I found online, from your "Pokemon Team" page were from Emerald, so I had the first three generations available to me. Mind you, I only did one Unown, because there's no need for me to make over two dozens sprites for a useless-ass Pokemon. It's like barely a step over Magikarp, then not really as Magikarp at least evolves...

Anyway, I was on Bulbapedia and hit pay-dirt. The downside is I have to go through the page for EVERY 4th Generation Pokemon individually and open up a gallery sub-page for each sprite. I hope to work on getting these pictures as much as possible each day, then slowly build the sprites for them. The whole thing is pretty much an epic task anyway, so it;s not like I;m in a rush to finish.

I was going to work on art today, but I end up sleeping a lot on Sundays. At least with al the other sprites done I have more time to concentrate on other art. I'm doing a birthday picture for a friend, then I'm looking to dive right back into my comic ;)
