Indies Games United:
Artist Note:
I was recently contacted by Drew Taylor, the editor of Jumpbutton Magazine about doing an illustration for them, as well as an interview about all of the videogame themed pictures I’ve been drawing. The theme for issue #2 of the magazine is ‘character select’, and Drew suggested an ensemble piece with some of my favorite indie game characters.
The result is what you see above, the character select screen from my ultimate indie adventure crossover game. It was a lot of work getting this many characters to fit together just right, this is definitely the most complex piece I’ve made, but I’m really happy with the way it turned out. It will be appearing as a spread inside the magazine, and parts of it will also be on both the original, and alternative versions of the cover.
The Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector’s Set Is Effing Beautiful.
Twenty-five years!? You have no idea how old that makes me feel right now. This $150 limited edition set comes with the following:
- Past and Present Street Fighter Games – Playable on current gen PS3™ and Xbox 360 console systems, the four critically-acclaimed titles selected from the star-studded catalog are: Super Street Fighter® II Turbo HD Remix, Street Fighter® III 3rd Strike Online Edition, Super Street Fighter® IV Arcade Edition with all costume DLC, and Street Fighter® X Tekken® including all character and Swap Costume DLC.
- Exclusive Video – The two-disc Blu-Ray set includes a documentary that highlights the profound influence the franchise has had on fans - and vice versa - throughout the years. The collection of videos also includes Street Fighter®IV and Super Street Fighter®IV Anime movies as well as all episodes of the Street Fighter animated series and Street Fighter®II: The Animated Movie.
- Light-up Ryu Statue – A specially commissioned and highly-detailed collectable Ryu statue stands prominently at 8” tall and features the iconic character in mid-Shoryuken, with flames lit from below.
- 11-Disc Soundtrack – Street Fighter game music spanning the past 25 years, in addition to remixes and fan-created music inspired by past Street Fighter games .
- 64-page Hardcover Art Book – A tribute to Street Fighter game fans from all over the world, the art book includes fan pieces submitted by professional and aspiring artists alike.
- Ryu’s Belt – Created to regulation specs, the full-size martial arts black belt is a replica of the one Ryu wears and even includes his classic “Fūrinkazan” in kanji!
- Certificate of Authenticity – Each Collector’s Set comes individually numbered complete with a certificate of authenticity.
Considering how much bank Capcom is going to make off this, I’m hoping they’ll chill out with shoving overpriced DLC down our throats for a while. Also, I’m buying twelve of these.
Art for Zack & Wiki: Quest from Barbaro’s Treasure (Capcom for Wii, 2007)
One of my favourite Wii games.
The Wii wasn’t the first console to have “separate” controllers. See these two examples: a prototype for the Sega Genesis/Megadrive (1988) and this one by Hori (Playstation 1 and 2).
