Nintendo Ladies Picture













































Around the holidays I did a quick drawing of Nintendo villains and posted it on my Deviantart account. I decided to continue the series with a piece showcasing a handful of the badass brauds from various Nintendo games. This picture took me mad time to do - for three days I was working on this almost every hour I wasn't asleep or at work. Since I was lazier with my art earlier this year, a lot more time and work went into this one than my villains pic. Pictured in this poster-like picture are -


FROM ZELDA
Zelda
Malon
Ruto
Navi
Saria
FROM DONKEY KONG COUNTRY
Dixie Kong
FROM DOKI DOKI PANIC
Lina
FROM METROID
Samus
FROM SUPER MARIO BROS.
Peach
Daisy
FROM MOTHER/EARTHBOUND
Paula

There were a handful of others I planned to feature, like Nabooru (to add to the colection of babes from the greatest Zelda game ever) and Anna (Mother) but they would mess up the flow of characters and number and all. I also was thinking of putting in Wendy O. Koopa, but decided to not do villains since a giant Mother Brain would kind of ruin the current charm of the picture. Hope you enjoy.

Dixie Kong Art for Group Contest




As you all probably know, I have a gallery on Deviantart.com. On DA, I have joined a number of groups recently to put more of my art out there and see more art from people with similar interests. One group, a fan group for Nintendo, is holding a contest, as DA groups commonly do. The contest is to draw a Nintendo "side-kick" - any character who appears in a game as a tag-along for the main protagonist. I knew as soon as I read this that I wanted to do Dixie Kong from the Donkey Kong Country games. Ever since I first played DKC2, Dixie has been my favorite DKC character, and one of my favorite Nintendo characters - though I actually consider her a Rare character, since they are the ones who actually created her, Nintendo just kept the rights to all DKC characters and destroyed the series after Rare's parting with them. Anyway, Dixie was awesome - cute and cuddly yet tough and badass. Above, I posted all the steps of this piece, all done by hand - no paint shop pro or photoshop effects in this one (I tend to use a hint of PSPro lighting effects in some recent pictures). I only hope now that, not only the group will accept my submission, but also that I win! Keep your fingers crossed for me, everybody!

More TMNT Fan Art












Here's a big mother fucker of a fan art. I did five classic villains - Baxter Stockman, The Rat King, Leather Head, Metal Head, and Slash. I've put up all the character drawings in their own original forms for closer detail-viewing. Enjoy.
