Hello,

I was working on a piece of artwork entitled "Hyper 8-bit memories" for the GamePaused/WearGame book that was accepting submissions a while back. I never quite finished it in time for the deadline-but I have included some of the artwork that I will eventually compose together to create it...


I have tried to mimic the old style that was found in Video game manuals/ adverts/ promotional leaflets in Japan back in the 80's/early 90's...




The entire image is eventually going to try and incorporate all the old video games mascots from yesteryear as a tribute to all things 8-bit.

I'll post more as I finish/find the images.

Let me know what you think and any suggestions for characters to add. Very Happy

Cheers Guys,

They were all hand-drawn and then coloured in via photoshop.
The whole point was to have a composition of all the chararcters together. I did a sketch of the entire layout - I'll try and scan it in and post it when I can find it.

What about Sonic? Or is this Nintendo only? And how about Megaman also?
