Last round of Videogame Classics!

That's right - this round adds it up to an even ten. Gosh, what a fun and creative time-waste that was.
First up, a hallowed classic...



I remember I actually had the idea for this one while I was traveling around. I kept thinking, "What if I could find an ancient marble statue and put a tiny worm head on it?" After all, the funniest thing about Earthworm Jim is his design. It's awesome.
So I went to the archive of Life photos (which you should all check out right now) and found a good photo to base the piece on. And the rest is Photoshop.



Ohhh... I played so much of this on the bus...



I realized as I was making this that this game was the first Zelda game I ever played. Once when I was 10, we went into a Target and they had Majora's Mask set up on a console, so I played it for five minutes while my mom shopped. It was the very beginning of the game, where the Skull Kid had turned Link into a Deku Scrub and he couldn't leave Clock Town? So for, like, two years, I thought Link looked was a weird little plant guy. Fun little trip down Memory Lane.

That's probably it on these. I have an idea for one more, but Olly Moss is probably coming after me with a tire iron as it is.

Why don't you play the game?

More comics, comin' atcha!

The newest comic, hot off the press. This is about Slovakian food. Delicious, meaty, cholestorol-filled Slovakian food.



And one more that was forgotten in the archives. This was from January, I think.



One thing I noticed in Brno were posters for Watchmen, which I didn't expect. Of course there was no time to go see it. And of course I would come back hometo a roommate who said she watched "Watchmen" while in the UK. Just to spite me!
This will have to be corrected. More drawings soon.

More Classics!

So I'll be out of contact for the next two weeks, as I'll be cruising the Czech and Slovak Republics on a bus. Lots of photos and cool memories guaranteed, but blog posts are not.

In the meantime, I whipped up three more classic covers. I wish Blogspot didn't wash out the colors the way it did... the originals are much brighter and interesting. I'll try and fix that once I get back.



I think this is my new favorite - I might even make a wallpaper of it. Actually, I like the game's original cover a lot, too, but I like mine in a different way. Honestly, my favorite part of Katamari is the level where you get big enough to roll up entire countries and continents before you pick up the Earth head off to roll up some stars.



Has anyone played this? Sure, it's for the Gameboy, but I keep getting drawn to it now and then. It's really addictive!



Of course I would do Bioshock. To exclude this game from our collection of future classics is a crime. Imaginative, atmospheric, and downright scary. I might make a full jacket of this one so that Rocky can slip it in his copy. What do you think, Rock? Interested?

Once again, these are all based on the brilliant original works by Olly Moss. Check him out.

All right, I'm off to Eastern Europe! Be back soon!

Laaaa la la la la la la, la la Katamari Damashiiiii...
