I'm NEW! + Video Girls Series

edited May 2008 in Artist's Corner
Hey guys! I'm new to the forums but I've been reading PA for a looooong time. I'm finally going to PAX this year so I figured I'd sign up and get to know some people. I do music under the name I KILL PXLS and besides music, I'm an illustrator/graphic designer. To help introduce myself, I'll show you guys a series I did a while back called Video Girls. The idea was to take male video game characters and turn them into female humans.

Video_Girls__God_of_War_by_GuitarAt.jpg

Video_Girls__Katamari_Damacy_by_Gui.jpg

Video_Girls__Devil_May_Cry_by_Guita.jpg

And the only exception to my male ---> female rule:

    You have this thing with boobies that's kinda off-setting to the gentleman.

    Absolutely beautiful art, though. Goddess of War is wicked.

    You should do Altair some time, he'd look great as a she.

    Altair would be pretty cool actually. There are still a few more characters I can think of that would be cool to do. Solid Snake is probably on the top of that list right now.

    Oooh, that'd be interesting as well. A+ if you can manage to do it in the water colouring style of the artwork. :D

    Brainfart: I had this idea in the back of my head to make a female version of all the classes of TF2, the art style of the game lends itself for some great comicky females (type: big lips, long legs, big weaponry).

    Your welcome :lol: I think the "Z" thing should go the way of "X-Treme!".

    That TF2 one would be an AWESOME splash piece. I'll have to think about that one.

    I've seen some fan art (I think) of a female scout. Whoever did it nailed the TF2 style perfectly.

    My google-fu is weak, but if you can find it and PM it/link it here, that would be swell.

    I didn't really like the first two, a few elements didn't work IMO: Maria(?)'s foot while nicely dynamic doesn't flow too well with the rest, at least IMO, and the characters look semi-stagnant lacking the line variation, also the background comes off too blurry, and Soni(?) seems to have some random arm foreshortening for the sake of foreshortening, doesn't make a lot of sense unless she has T-rex arms.

    The last 5 are really awesome, and the style really shines. My fav is prolly the last one; you have some nice curves and flow going on there.

    Overall, good show sir, would watch again.

    The last two are definetaly the most successful. In the others, the foreshortening on the arms and legs just didn't work out too well.

    That Dante (Dantina?) is rad as hell.

    Also before anyone gets any ideas, I'd like to point out that doing the opposite idea and turning sexy video game women into big burly dudes is bound to be somewhat less successful concept.

    Wow. I wonder if they asked permission, or just found it somewhere and thought "well it isn't actually the game but it looks cool, let's nick it!".

    the god of war, okami, and dante ones are all incredibly solid. the rest could use some work/touch-ups.

    all in all, very solid though.

    Each style meshes perfectly with the video game it comes from. You're so damn ELASTIC with your art, it makes me jealous.

    Favorite has to be the katamari one, you just captured the absurdity of the game so well.

    I find it disconcerting that not everybody's picked apart the anatomy stnanks all over the place (especially Sonic). But those backgrounds are hot and there's a lot of nice energy in them (I really like the faux-pixel SMB one).

    I like them but the foreshortening on the jumbo leg on the first pic is bothering the hell out of me....like really bothering me....I demand it be fixed! Nah I'm just kidding.

    Great stuff! I think there's some small issues with anatomy on your girls but more than anything I am loving the colours and design of these. I would love to see what you could do with some of my line work. check it out at www.AdamAthertonPresents.blogspot.com. If you want to try colouring something send me a PM or an email at Adamdatherton@hotmail.com and I can send you the uncoloured lines. Maybe sometime we could collaborate on something.

    I love those 'patterns' on the right hand side. What do you use for reference for that kinda thing? Or are they just doodles?

    I actually sketched that part in class one day and decided to use it in the Dante piece. You can see the original sketch HERE.

    That looks lame. She looks like a dude what with the huge nose, firm jaw, short hair, lack of boobs and overall male physique.

    Someone out do this! :P
