Description You know, it would have been more fun if I had done this for Valentine's day. Anyway, these are my favorite cartoon couples of all time. The reason they are in pixels is because a while back, I used Gambit and Rogue as a test subject for pixelling (OMG AND NOT IN MSPAINT) and then after talking with *LovelyLocks a bit about it, I decided I should do my other all-time favorite couples in pixel as well. No time for full-bodiedness, and besides, the original two weren't full-bodied either so it keeps things even. I also used dodge and other non-traditional pixel methods in this picture, so I'm afraid you'll just have to find a way to deal with that.


First up, we have Wheeler and Linka from Captain Planet. Everyone knows how much I adore them. They were the only reason I watched Captain Planet in the first place.

Second couple is Zelda and Link, who bear striking similarities to Wheeler and Linka in many respects. The personalities and even voices are really similar. And I'm sure it helps that Dic did both series (until Hanna-Barbera came along and totally SCREWED CAPTAIN PLANET UP but that's another rant for another time). If you never saw this cartoon when it was on in the late '80s/early '90s, you really missed out! I used to draw Zelda all the time as a kid, not to mention I was smitten with her ultra-cool outfit.

Third, we have Gambit and Rogue from X-Men. The dynamic between those two gives me shudders even today! The whole "you can't touch me" thing Rogue had going on really appealed to me, because I was young and had never been kissed before, so it was something I identified with a bit. Besides, Gambit was totally hot for cartoon character.

And my favorite couple of all time is totally Spoon and Fork! They belong together.

Love your accent. You Russian?


I only liked the Zelda cartoon just for Link...and the fact the CD-i games are somewhat similar to me..for whatever reason. Oh, and I used to LOVE X-Men, I either liked Wolverine or Colossus the most (I read the comics a lot when I was 7 years old). Now the only thing I really obsess over X-Men are MyWay Entertainment's NSFW redubs of the 90's cartoon (also where the "I'm the Juggernaut BITCH!" Line came from the third X-Men film since the video was, and still is, popular at the time. Just like when Wheeler visited the Freudian Prod's-um-the NORTH IRISH during the Troubles and Todd's statement that "AIDS STINKS!" From Captain Planet are now memes)

It was Fenian prods (why'd I forget that!) but it was just as ridiculous to think that

"That's a protestants name if I've ever heard one"

Knife has been trying to come between Spoon and Fork for years! He's a sharp one, too.

Knife still has Napkin to crawl back to though.

The Turkey Baster gets along quite well with itself, and the Dish and Spoon had a brief fling while Fork was being a jerk at one point, but Spoon and Fork have since patched things up and are happily together once more.

Very cute!

I like your Linka, Zelda, and Link pictures the most.
You did an awesome job on this, in spite of the fact that you cheated. Shame on you! Calling yourself a pixel artist when you don't use paint!

Good job on these, I've never really tried pixel art, it seems like it would be really hard. I especially like the Gambit/Rouge. Rogue was always one of my favortie characters from X-men.

And of course I really like Linka/Wheeler (or the "before Hanna-Barbera came and screwed it up" version.... Hey, haven't I heard this before?)

Also, that fork has a lot of prongs. Not that there's anything wrong with that, its just something that I noticed.

All the better to poke spoon with, my dear. :evillaughter:

Thank you for the kind words! These are pretty rushed pixels, far from perfect or refined. The real stuff's hard and time-consuming.

As for the HB rant, you've likely heard me mention something about it before.

So cute, I'm totally overlooking your filthy, cheating pixel methods.

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. And thank you the kindness in overlooking my cheating.
