Herro.

So uh I do paintings and comics. The latter of which is probably a little less relevant than the former. I was wanting to make my presence known a little more before posting my own stuff but I couldn't think of anything constructive to say. I mean you guys seem talented enough..

Here's some of the things I've done so far;










Pixel art! It's pretty simple. I just grid up a canvas by whatever relevant resolution, draw up the particular graphic by hand and then, just start painting it. I use oil paint for some reason. I might start not doing that though because it's hard stuff to work with. The smallest I can go is 2mm by 2mm pixels, though I am yet to finish any works via that method..

I also did this and this once upon a time.

Anyway, I'd like to ask you guys some things..

I want to do a painting of something Rockman / Mega Man related. What should I do?
I need something iconic whilst not too blatant. I was thinking, the Rockman / Mega Man II title screen (like this) but I could remove the logo and just keep it like that. But that's an awful lot of black to fill in. Or maybe one of the Wily machines? Or a GET WEAPON screen? Which one? Or maybe just EXE mugshots?

Those first five paintings are part of a set I did as gifts for people. I need to do one more. What of?
I'm really stuck for ideas here. It's for a friend of mine. She's a University student, like me, doing a degree in humanities, or something. She 'aint that into video games, though appreciates my enthusiasm for them with considerable interest. Did work for Greenpeace once. I'd have to keep it down to a smaller, preferable 8bit sprite.

Questions, comments, abuse, all of these things are welcome.

Pretty cool. Although I really like your tiger there. you should DEFINITELY draw some more.

Brilliant pixel arts there, and you really should trying drawing again. That tiger was awesomely brilliant.

As for suggestions... What about the Star Rulers? Or Tango? XD


I'm watching you all. Always watching.

:T Unfortunately, the Star Rulers / and Staroids being from a GameBoy game'n all are all in black and white. If I could find some form of a colour palette for that though, then that might be a good idea. Until then..

I don't know why I didn't think of this before? I'll end up using a decent GameBoy / NES Sprite if I can find one.

Yeah I really surprised myself in that department. It was just meant to be for some highschool boards, had never really done realism before.. It was pretty simple in application. Though I've never actually been into realism nor have I ever been.

As far as comics go..


wonder_memo is what I use to sorta', uhh, document experiences / thoughts of mine / anything else I can think of in a productive manner. Which has also led me to doing every_demographic+, which is essentially "I hate University and life itself" with ongoing plot and characters.

These things I've only just started though.

Here's a color pic of Tango...


If you didn't have those before, now you do. So we can have more Tango.

Well since MM10 is coming out next month, how about doing the heroic 8-Bit Pose of Rock & Blues at the end of the trailer vid?

Oh no those are good. Those are useful. Not that there 'aint anything wrong with a lack of colour in things. It's just that recently I've been dealing with allotta' monochrome. And green.

I WOULD BUY THOSE ZELDA THINGS BUT I HAVE NO MONEY

I have no money either. Also, I am trying to sell a few of these things. via some cafe.



Ah yes. The life of a starving artist. Oh, that's my Lucas and Claus paintings up there too. They're sorta' the first two I did.




Inspired by the MOTHER3 album CD cover thing. At least, I looked at it and thought that the sprites looked good all blown up and stuff. You people should know what I'm on about. Uhm. Has anyone here ever sold any of their works? Even via the internet if that counts. And, does anyone here have a dA or LJ? I'd like to add you all just so I can get some new friends :3

I'm also thinking that I need an actual website for all these things. At the very least, for my comics so some form of legible chronology is present.

I have a dA that I barely use anymore (I need to just deal with the shoddy uploading and do an image dump one of these days).  I'm Quickman012 there.
