small Gift for a Rick - an artist from not this place. He lives in suburbia and has a Shamu - named squirrell that always around of his house. Also there A LOT of crows around his house too, simply ‘cause they got smart enough to understand that Rick’s kindness will never make them die from starvation.

„,

This was enough to imagine Rick as Crow King and fight agains gang of Ninja Squirrells.

PS:

Funny fact: Shamu is a girl. And she has babies. I didn’t knew that when i was drawing first sketch. 

Yeeeah… one of those “kiddish mistakes” 

- “Hey Tom! Why are you so fat?”

- “Oh wait…you are…you are girl…AND YOU ARE PREGNANT!!”

Was drawing Skyrim Favorite Characters Set but got busy again and…here is preview of unfinished character i’m playing with. That dunmer-necromancer-dude.

Probably will draw 4 chars. Next one will be Erandur - my companion (more like sub-conscience that makes me not that evil), then Kodlak and…i haven’t decided yet. Don’t wanna draw Ulfric…may be Cicero? 

Dunmer. Still can’t belive - how [creepy] Dunmers are. Thanks to The Elder Scrolls designers. Now we have evil dark demonic elves with face of 80th villains! Hooray!

Doduo

Doduo and Dodrio is my favorite bird pokemon from 1st generation. And this idea of having one head and neck splitted into 2 ones to make it look like Doduo, is just amazing. 

These are probably the most ridiculous “Dendy” game-cartriges i have. In mid 90th Russia was absolutely enslaved by wave of pirated NES-production. We had no normal game cartiges and none of them looked like you can understand what game it contains. Dendy just refused to die. And was creating more and more confusing cartriges, like wanted to say “Hey Kids! I still HAVE new games! There are new games in town! Check it out!”. And the most of us belived. Or…wanted to belive? Because Snes was awfuly expensive and things like N64 or Sega DreamCast were very rare because “Dendy” tried to make other competitor-consoles go away from a market (it even lowered some Sega production for the short period).

Anyway! Back to the topic. Here are they:

http://garvals.ru/2012/bananas.jpg

1) 

The very first one looks promising from a beginning. You see it’s a rarely-white cartrige with a “Panda Prince” game inside. But try to google this “Panda Prince” game and you will find this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbb—mBjsMg

With an oddly familiar music and characters. It’s just a mix between chinese pandas adventures and Donkey Kong world.

And just one part keep confusing me - look at the picture. Even if background was taken from Donkey Kong, but pandas are “originals”. And i don’t know where they were taken from. May be the pirates hired an artist to draw these Panda-pictures?

Also the most funny part that we enjoyed the game because of “unique” enemies and “nice” music. Yeah. Dendy was a big liar.

2)

Probably the most confusing cartrige here. Look at this. It says “Prince Banana 2” and shows Sonic-game character and background! Do you know about good nes-game named “Banana Prince”? Could it be the next game about Banana Prince adventures? But… why Knuckles? Why sonic-world? In fact! None of shit the cartrige says, is true. It’s just the very first usual non-ripped off game inside of it.

I can say one thing - there was a game named “Sonic Prince” that was just a “Banana Prince” but with Sonic in it.

Look at the video of an original game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEMeCcM4uYg

See something familiar? The main character has spicky hair and he can spin in the air like a sonic which made the game very easy victim for pirates who wanted to rip it off and sell another “Sonic for those who has no Sega”.

So this is the reason why there is a sonic-theme picture on the cartrige… Even it was actually non-pirated game inside…

3)

You see a “Donkey Kong SPECIA” here. Nothing that confusing actually. It’s just a “Toki” game inside of this cartrige. Just that game without any ripped\pasted sprites and without any changes. I never played Toki before this so i wasn’t that mad when i found no Donkey Kong inside but an original classic NES-game about monkey. Sometimes it’s better to have something old and cool instead of new and shitty.

4)

DRAGONS! Again no changes and mixes in this one. But the name on it lies again. It’s the famous “Dragon’s Lair” - game. The funny part - i bought cartrige only because of epic picture on it. I was a crazy fanboy of epic fantasy adventures back at 90th and the picture instantly caught my attention. Actually i wasn’t disappointed. Dragon’s Lair was a hard but creepy-cool game for kids of that time.

Wow… I accidentally found a new favorite artist. And it’s not just a “watch” on deviantart or other gallery, no. I have found the whole new world full of sketches, comic pages and knowleges.

Like Magneto who can control any metal being, this artist made all his paper pieces turn into an arrow and hit me into my heart and made it bleed with rage and happiness.

I still in his blog. Saving all his sketches and pictures like a crazy, saving some of them several times. Wow…the life will be a lot easier now. Just one look on his masterpiece-comic page sketching process makes me happier.

And the saddest part - i will not say, who he is. Not today.

Remember when you was a Sega Mega Drive fan back at 1996? No? Well i was. And one day i got my joypad broken. Whad did i do? I used my imagination in order to build a new Game Pad using some junk, some random buttons and being inspired by Frankenstein movie and other villains that do monsters using random parts.

Here it is. I named it “Hyper Sonic” because it was created to play Sonic Games. Mostly because it was the easiest way to program it because sonic needs only one button for jumping and that’s all.

Even when i was bought a new joystick, i still was using this one, because it was just so…weird and awesome.

Coffee Cup Dragon

While i still busy with some stuff, here look at some characters that i finally allowed to show you.

Characters for an “adventure” game “Deadly Sunsets”. 

They were drawn in colors and with small backgrounds but for lineup i made them black and white since it’s all about “noir” style.

The game will be in pixel art. It will be a “Lucas Arts” styled game (the game still in progress). I already saw the background artist’s and pixel artist’s work and it looks great. Can’t wait to play a game when it will come out.

Fred Haze and Helen Vandenberg are my favorites, of course. When i was drawing characters i had Dick Tracy and Alan Ford in mind.
