Just for a change of pace, I did another Nintendo guy - Ness, from Earthbound. A lot of people only know him from Super Smash Bros. 64 and Melee... I had the good fortune of finding the actual Earthbound cartridge at EB Games maybe around 3-4 years ago. I bought it posthaste and played it through... weird, funny, and challenging. A good game. I hope it gets onto Virtual Console, cuz I don't wanna recommend pirating.

Artistically... I wanted to make Ness look a little more like a real kid, not a lump of clay, as he did in the original "artwork", and he's pretty stumpy in SSB(M). I can't pose him all cool-like if he's too stubby to have normal articulation in all his joints... And I love the effects of his PK powers in Melee. I tried getting some otherworldly lighting going, and had a lot of fun with plain pencil energy scribbling, then applying color and glow. End result... a bit more dramatic than I had planned, but more than satisfactory.

Ness is (c) HAL.
