Description I'm alive! I know it's been too long since I last submitted something, but I've been busy busy busy, and with little to no time to do art for myself.

So, to let you know I'm still around and kicking, I decided to submit this little collage of an acrylic painting I did a while ago as a commission for . He requested a sort of pixelized Megaman painting.

I've been doing some of these paintings as commissions, so if you'd like to have one, drop me a note and we can arrange it!

I actually painted a Mario a few months back, also sold it to a fellow deviant! These are very fun to do, and I thought it'd be a great combination of different arts: videogame sprites in acrylic! haha well, I'm very glad you liked them! I definitely plan on doing more, and I think I'll open commissions for these. So if you'd like to have one, let me know and we can cook it up for you

não, não conhecia! já tinha visto uma instalação assim parecida mas era do Super Mario... até uns estudantes de uma universidade que reproduziram um nível do Mario num daqueles placards de cortiça, só com pionés de várias cores, também estava engraçado

ainda bem que gostaste, fico muito lisonjeada!

yeah, I'd never seen it before so I thought it'd be a cool thing to mix besides, retro is pretty in these days, so it was a way to make something moderately artsy and cool and retro at the same time. I'm very glad you liked it! thanks!

DominicFrost [2009-04-16 11:55:47 +0000 UTC]

So... dumb question but, what is that painted on? Canvas? A wood block?
It looks friggin sweet! I'd commission something like that from you but I have no idea what I would want :/ Oh well... I'll have to think about it.

Very creative... I'm thinking stuff like this would sell ^_^

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

cool-slayer In reply to DominicFrost [2009-04-16 17:51:25 +0000 UTC]

it's painted on canvas I've been meaning to start painting on wood, mainly because I think it'd be cheaper, but I'd have to gesso the wood and all that, and I know zero about those artsy techniques. I'm gonna have to learn them
And thanks! I'm very glad you like this I'd love to do a commission for you! There's no hurry though, you can think and see if you come up with something you'd like and then, well, drop me a note here or on facebook - you know where to find me

Well, I've sold this one as a commission and also a previous couple I did (of Mario and Zelda), so yeah, I think I'm going to paint a few more and try to sell them. I've painted a lot more stuff besides this "sprite" style (I've done Hellboy, Slimer, Shaun of the Dead...), but these ones are pretty cool to do, so I think I'm gonna stick with it for a while.

So, it sells, it's just that... I'm not entirely "in" on the market. Like, those two I tried to sell over on eBay but was unsuccessful; luckily after that I managed to sell them to DA friends. DA seems to be the online place where I know more people, have some exposure and know the way around here, but it's not exactly a store... I need to find a place that is better to sell stuff. Do you know any?

DominicFrost In reply to cool-slayer [2009-04-16 20:04:25 +0000 UTC]

you can try to get a permit and sell at a shop or on the sidewalk or something... like we have Park City over here in utah (where they do the film festivals) that have those kind of places to sell stuff....
tho honestly i don't think that'd be very fun.

The best method, and what I would do if I weren't so lazy... would be to get a variety of paintings and stock and see if you can get out to an anime or video game convention and get yourself a table.
I guarantee you'd sell some of these and it'd actually be pretty fun, too :boggie:

other then that? DA, Facebook, Amazon, Ebay and Fairs

cool-slayer In reply to DominicFrost [2009-04-20 17:01:45 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, thanks for all the tips we don't have conventions at all where I live (I mean, there is a very small anime convention, but I never got to go, so I have no idea of the level of exposure there... but I'll keep an eye for it in the future, for sure ), so I think the internet is still the best... well, I think I'll keep doing these little paintings anyway and figuring out ways to sell them thanks again!

WonderDookie [2009-04-16 01:16:09 +0000 UTC]

haha. Looks great. It makes me wonder if the original creators of the sprite ever imagined it being painted in acrylic on canvas. I'm thinking... probably not.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

cool-slayer In reply to WonderDookie [2009-04-16 12:27:22 +0000 UTC]

Yeah It is a lot of fun. I guess that it's a little unexpected, I mean, I don't think sprites is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of acrylic paintings... but it's kinda retro and geeky, so I like it. I did a Mario and a Zelda one, that I also sold, and have a huge list of the ones I want to get to. I'm very happy to know you liked this! There will be more in the future, I hope
