I've never played Shovel Knight, but the sprite-work in that game looks killer. My rendition ended up being a bit too similar to the official design than I would have hoped, so I decided to mix things up with a more 'realistic' take as well. -CasualCart Holy shit, that bottom one... You should color that in if you ever get a bit of free time to do so, because god damn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of 'realistic/rendered' drawing isn't something I'm usually into - adding all that detail makes it feel like all flash and no substance, whereas in "cartoonier" stuff, every line matters and the shapes/exaggerations are all calculated artistic decisions. But that's just me being a cranky old cartoonist yelling at clouds, I guess... -CasualCart 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd one is especially BA!!! I actually have contacted the Shovel Knight staff before (years ago) and they let me ship my shovel knight copy to them to sign. I'll send them this awesome artwork as I'm sure they'd love it too! Keep up the awesome work! P.S you should definitely play shovel knight some time. It's a really great game with tons of extra free DLC where you can play as 3 of the bosses in the main story with their own unique weapon sets. edit: just sent the email! I will let you know if I hear anything back. I linked them the thread and images. Edited October 3, 2020 by Makar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,542 Graphics Team · Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 @Makar - sick! Thanks, man! Yeah, I can probably count on one hand the number of modern games that I'm interested in playing, but Shovel Knight is definitely one of them. -CasualCart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your work and think others would too. Shovel Knight is a perfect mix of a modern game polished up mechanics wise, but still feels old school and has plenty of depth to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kguillemette | 1,544 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 https://images.app.goo.gl/ESiJb2JXutkqEfum9 How about RBI Baseball players? Great work either way.

OptOut | 8,884 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 It's Inktober 4th and... wait what were we doing again? Drawing our favourite videogame characters or something? Okay, fine, if I must: 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Pac | 7,542 Graphics Team · Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 04 - Samson [Little Samson] This was a fun one, @a3quit4s! Back in 2015, I caved and got myself PAL copy of Little Samson, and it was worth every penny. That game is a platforming masterpiece, and the graphics are just as amazing. -CasualCart 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarzombie | 924 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) I would love to see Mega Man as the shitty Mega Man artwork. Or Weird Ed.

OptOut | 8,884 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 On this day in history, Inktober 5th 1998, Nintendo launched their final assault on the SEGA homeworld (Saturn), destroying the blue scourge once and for all! In memory of the brave Nintendo fanboys who died that day, we salute them with the following mural: 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I unintentionally gave Mario some 'Wreck-It Ralph' vibes haha. -CasualCart 12 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut | 8,884 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Speaking of Black Box games on this Inktober 6th takes me back to my earliest gaming memories...

Also, I wonder if Disney got the idea to call it Wreck-It Ralph *because* of Wrecking Crew. ..

T-Pac | 7,542 Graphics Team · Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 06 - Captain LeChuck [The Secret of Monkey Island] I had a blast with this one @Murray. But I based my rendition primarily on the original character graphic (which wasn't that easy to track down - it seems like the first entry in this series isn't particularly well-documented online...) -CasualCart 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptOut | 8,884 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Inktober 7th and it's time to get back on track with another of my favourite videogame heroes, Kirby!!! I always found the art tutorial at the beginning of Kirby's Adventure very helpful in bringing my own artistic creations to life, so I have painstakingly recreated it here in EXCRUCIATING detail: Believe it or not, those are NOT screen caps from the actual ROM, I, myself, @OptOut, recreated them pixel perfect in MS paint down to the tiniest element of the frame. Sometimes I wonder why my genius goes unappreciated in my time... 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
