Clayfighter

Here's my Clayfighter tribute. Clayfighter was a comedy/fighter game series in the 90s that had a cast consisting of wacky clay creatures created by Bessy, a meteor dripping with ooze that crashed in Playland, Mudville USA. Though Clayfighter 1 played very badly, Clayfighter 2 (C-2) Judgment Clay was an awesome game that almost all gamers hate on with no real rhyme or reason. From most reviews I've seen and conversations I've held about it, it seems most players didn't even play enough to even understand what they were doing before they made their opinion. When you stop being a hater and play C-2 and actually get good and pay attention, I feel you can notice that it is actually one of the most superior fighters for it's time in terms of gameplay and programming. The CF series also has, in my opinion, the most memorable and interesting roster of characters out of any fighting series. C-2 Judgment clay and all Clayfighter characters were a huge part of my childhood (I was obsessed with C2 in 1995) and C-2 still remains my favorite game ever, so I only felt it a must to do a CF art. The characters pictured are - Bad Mr. Frosty, Taffy, Tiny, The Blob, Blue Suede Goo, Ickybod Clay, Helga, Bonker, Nana Man, Octo Head, Googoo, Hoppy, and Kangoo. The background is wads of gum I chewed and blended together like a weirdo, then scanned to give an extra oozy effect. Hope you enjoy the few and proud Clayfighter fans.

(As for the ones on N64, they had cool character concepts and amazing sculptors, but everything else about them was crap and a hugedown-grade from C-2)

X-Men Artwork

Here's a collection of drawings I did of the X-Men in their early 90's cartoon style. Featred in these drawings are - Wolverine, Jubilee, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Gambit, Storm, and Beast.

Megaman X Bosses

Here are the eight maverick boss characters from Capcom's Mega Man X for the SNES. I thought these guys were awesome the second I first saw them on the select screen in '95. This was one of my favorite SNES games, and though the MMX series got very stale after a while, forcing me to lose the previous respect I had for it, MMX1 still remains a great game and a nostalgic classic to me. The robots pictured here are -

Launch Octopus

Sting Chameleon

Armored Armadillo

Storm Eagle

Spark Mandrill

Chill Penguin

Boomer Kuwanger

Flame Mammoth

I guess Sting C. is my favorite, though it's hard to say becausr Armored Armadillo and Boomer are awesome too, as well as Spark Mandrill & Launch, and, hell, it's too hard to decide. They're all badass. Enjoy.

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.

Bump in the Night

Not only have I been on a fan art high recently, but I've also been working on ky DVD collection, getting all those old school movies I love but for some reason just don't own, and lots of those movies are classic horror series. So, as I've been watching all these awesome films again, I've been inspired to bring these great horrors to my personal style. First we have a drawing of everybody's favorite murderers, Freddy from A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Jason of Friday the 13th. The pictures came out much to my liking, so I posted the originals seperately.

Next I did the horrifying yet totally badass creaturs from the Alien films. I put up the black and white o you could fully see the line work put into the picture since the dark coloring job hides a bit of it. Hope you enjoy these creepy classics.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Art!

Recently I've done a ton of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan art. Since I've done so much and plan on a doing some more, I decided to post some up. The picture above displaying the four turtles leaping into action is an alternate version of a picture I have in my Deviantart gallery, here - http://brendancorris.deviantart.com/art/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-161687470 . This version is different in that it has the neon bursts of light shooting from the sewer inspired by the cartoon's intro song. Below is a whole lot more TMNT art. First off, Rocksteady and Bebop, Shredder's two main mutant minions. They were a little too doofy and pathetic to be taken seriously, like most 80s cartoon villains, especially when a rhino and a warthog who both are big as hell should be able to destroy a turtle no problem, but they were still awesome characters. Next is the staff of Channel 6 News, April O'Niel, Irma, Vernon, and Burne. April was the couragous one, Irma was a weirdo, Vernon was a snobby coward, and Burne was an asshole (of course, he's the boss). Next is a personal favorite of mine, Mondo Gecko, the skateboarding badass buddy of Mike. And last is another personal favorite, Mona Lisa, the lizard cutie who falls for Raph. I'm still angry hat Mondo, Mona, and lots of other great characters made close to no appearances in the TMNT cartoon. Well, enjoy, retro fans!
