I do art sometimes. Not much recently.
Here is a blog. Here is a DA.

Lately I find that I'm drawing a lot of fanart, which is uncharacteristic for me. I make a point of changing styles as constantly and drastically as possible. Here are some things.

self portrait
pixel portrait
RMXP sprite
Cloneboy Highbop (yes)
One of them pokeymens
Black Jack (no hookers, though)
One of them evangelions the kids like so much
That there Ganondorf fellow
And that other guy
One of those Astro Boys I've been hearing so much about

Heh. I like the self-portrait on your blog

well that only took forever to turn into something other than an assortment of broken jpegs

I have another thing to post tonight

Cloneboy Highbop is best ever.

You seem to OWN every style you try out. This is some pretty great stuff.

This is some of the best art I've ever seen. That latest picture is pretty amazing.

Ooh! I like that one!

I'm making myself some SWEET WALL ART.

Illustrator is great for doing nice pixel art.
The art for the original Super Mario Bros. box appears to have been painted freehand, because no matter what, there's no way to make Mario match his exact position on the box without skewing everything. Since this isn't meant to be an exact replica of the boxart anyway (I considered adding the speed lines, title, etc, but I found them too visually distracting), I just tweaked Mario into what I thought was a good position (professional term: "close enough")

I have a .ai file that packages all of the elements of this picture, plus some that I left out (un-tilted and un-skewed Marios, some speed lines that I had been adding, etc) if anyone wants to try messing with it/print their own.

...You have no idea how much I miss having my scanner and tablet here.

Heavens to metroid!

I'll bet I could sell these things...

Stush · « **Reply #12 on:** July 27, 2010, 12:01:19 AM »

You should totally paint pixel art, like, on people's walls. I bet people would pay a bunch for a perfect representation of a metroid or mario scene on their wall. Plain colours are lame, we need to go back to the days of big art pieces on the wall, I forget the name.. starts with M, I think.

murals?

Stush · « **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2010, 03:30:50 PM »

Yeah! That's it!

I want to make t-shirts, but I have this problem.

See how I go right to the edge? Yeah, nobody likes printing shirts like that. I've had a zazzle account set up for ages and never produced anything because I realized I couldn't do any edge-based designs.

I think I'll make my own with fabric paint and stencils.

Teg! We are fellow illustrator WARRIORS! Also you have clearly been doing art for a long, long time.

So I've been working on tiles for a dumb little RPG Maker game. I need suggestions for THINGS YOU WOULD FIND IN A MODERN CITY. Just any little background details that I can churn out would be great.

Envy · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2010, 10:45:56 AM »

Billboards, street signs, a cat in a alleyway or two.

Mothra · « **Reply #19 on:** August 13, 2010, 11:10:48 AM »

Dumpsters, half-open trash cans with fish skeletons hanging out, street lights, graffiti, a chinese food place with a neon sign in engrish
