Quote from: "surfted"I'm glad the general consensus is the new approach. I'm starting to look at the games i'm doing less systematically & trying to focus on what made them exciting.. More very soon.

Zapiy mate "he who asks.."

That only looks the bollocks on my lappy... wallop fella..great stuff.. even got my lad asking more about retro stuff since he has seen these wallpapers.. :113:

As for that Halloween vote.. Has to be C for me.. Might have to run the wallpaper for a day lol..

I had a new idea i thought i'd test out here. Taking a shot from a film, clean it up & then replace the characters with the retro game versions of themselves..



the original plate..



What do you think to this one?

It's hard to tell on my phone. Is the top one the new one?

I seen what you've done, a great idea, but allot of work if the plates aren't as clean as this one is..especially with busy backgrounds, Content aware fill can only do so much ;)

So, are you still here and taking requests. Did you ever do anything with Crystal Castles as TrekMD requested?

Sorry for all the questions but your work is exciting :79:

I'm starting up again as I've been quiet for a couple of months. It on my list mate, lets see where the next few weeks take me..

I know i haven't posted any of my artwork for a while, but i thought i'd return with a big one, the most famous of plumbers no less..

Different though as i'm testing out a whole new style here too. As such i'd love to hear what you think?

Going to the final frontier, gaming...

It is a little difficult to be objective as I am not an artist. However, like many other here, I do like your work. The whole retroisation (yeah, I made that up) thing is very cool.

When you have time maybe you could look at these topics:
Like TrekMD, I am a huge fan of Crystal Castles so anything in the second topic listed above would be greatly appreciated. Have you thought of posting a tutorial for some of your easier examples, I'm sure many would love to create their own retrosised (yeah, done it again) imagery based on their personal preference. That way, only the more complicated requests would come your way and people can compare and contrast etc.

I'm working on a sequence of paintings like the mario one, then i'm going to try painting actual screen shots..

There are some truly great sigs on this website, very inspiring stuff. I wish i could find the time for tutorials and the windows theme which is a great idea, but two kids and a company don't leave me much spare time..

Oh, I can fully understand the time constraints and all any of us can ask is that you are aware of desire for your skills. Thanks for the acknowledgement. Good luck.

I think you've suffered enough..lol..had a spare 30mins , so I cooked this up for you, and hope you like it and use it, I dropped the numbers, because they don't belong in a siggy :)

have a nice day.
