I have many art traditions that I like to keep on top of every year. One of them being the annual Ghostbusters pic, the Christmas Story art and last but not least...my homage to the Nintendo Entertainment System (It really spans all of Nintendo's systems, but the 8-Bit is still king!). First it was Super Mario Bros, then The Legend of Zelda. This year I actually started two games, and decided to truck forward with one that has a little more "punch." I'd say this is about half done so far, with another handful of characters to join such as Doc, Dragon Chan, Mr.Sandman and Bear Hugger. It's nice to switch up styles once and a while so things stay fresh. When working in this style I really try to focus on the flow of lines. How they go into each other and overlap with color. I'm pushing the colors more this time as well, giving each character a larger palette than in the two previous NES pics. Let me know your thoughts! Aside from this, there are a few other cool things on the horizon. I'll keep you posted :)
Cheers,
Dan

Very cool Dan!
It's awesome to see your take on all the awesome stuff that I remember when I was younger. And then you go and put your own twist on it. Very cool, and very sweet.
Looking foreward to seeing what else you've got up your sleeve.
Punch Out rocks. Little Mac is my favourite Assist in Brawl. I cannot wait to see what else you come around with, Nintendo-wise. I vote Kid Icarus next!
Looking very forward to seeing what you having next.
Good god man,
