#37- Dr. Robotnik

GET THAT HEDGEHOG!

GET THAT HEDGEHOG!

Dr. Robotnik from the Sonic the Hedgehog games.

I know that some of you call him Dr. Eggman, but I’ve no choice but to dismiss you people as categorically insane.

Robotknik’s got the best mustaches.

ToeJam and Earl from ToeJam and Earl.

I never really got into these games as a kid and trying to play them as an adult just confused the hell out of me. But they must be good, because this is my most requested drawing.

And now it’s done! Request something else now! Preferably something with a little whimsy.

Not TOO MUCH whimsy. But just whimsy enough.

REEEEEMIX!

REEEEEMIX!

 

 

This one is a couple years old, but I like it. 

 

It’s a redesign of several Super Mario Bros. characters. I like the eject lever on the Koopa, personally.

Time to climb up on some ice!

Nana from Ice Climbers. 

 

I drew this picture for no good reason. 

 

But she’s SO cute!

The real mes no match for the legend, Im afraid.

The real me's no match for the legend, I'm afraid.

 

 

One of my favorite videogame characters: Solid Snake from the Metal Gear games. 

 

Snake’s a sad dude sometimes. He’s kind of in over his head and he only ever realizes it too late. His demeanor is that of an anti-hero and his attitude seems to support this. His actions, however are a lot more emblematic of the traditional hero archetype, just one draped in a bit more modern (maybe post modern) trapping.

Sometimes it pays to have friends in high places... especially if theyre really big friends

Princess Peach, Donkey Kong and Great King Bowser. The Trouble King, to you lay-people. 

 

This is what being a nerd is all about

Donkey Kong

Hes the leader of the bunch, you know him well

He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well

 

Donkey Kong from… well the Donkey Kong games. 

 

There’s a weird soft spot in my heart for Donkey Kong in the context of a Mario universe character. The drawing for tomorrow will sort of elaborate on this concept. 

Plus he throws barrels! What’s not to like?

#30- Super Mario

Okie-dokie!

Super Mario from the Super Mario Bros.

 

Mario is a funny little dude who like running around and jumping on stuff. 

 

I can get behind that. 

 

Mario is awesome

#29- Link

April 20, 2009

 

...

...

 

Link from various ‘The Legend of Zelda’ games. 

 

Link is the strong silent type… or at least the curious silent type. Games in the series (laserdisc games notwithstanding) are usually nothing short of brilliant. The series of events themselves are very similar, or identical  throughout, but the experience of adventure and the way that those events unfold themselves give the series a sense of timelessness. 

Also… 

Oh snap! We back!
