This was all done in Adobe Illustrator. I wish I'd done more like this

idk how old this is I had to fave and comment! XD I'm excited for the new KI game....i'm a big Palutena fan and I can't wait to see how Sakurai implemented these golden oldies in this upcoming title.

It was late 2008. I wish I'd spent more time on the background... Or indeed done more of these!

This is the best tribute to Kid Icarus I've seen this season. You win muffins for life.

Hooray for muffins! I might hold you to that

Thank you. One of the tougher skills to pick up in Illustrator is the round-edge look

wow. that really fits the feel of Kid Icarus. solid, guy.

Thanks. That's kinda my goal with these pieces - to invoke memories of the games themselves. Although I suspect when I get onto the more obscure titles people won't be quite so nostalgic

One of my new grad professors I had tonight was an Englishman. He was so fascinated by the fact that you could make pretty flowers and sunbursts in Microsoft Publisher. That's... basically the class. I think.
So cheers to you limes and your obsession with digital art

Drawing with maths! We're a funny old bunch

Hmm, that would be cool, but doubt I could do that with other peoples' creations.

Not without little alterations
For instance...make Pit black. With an afro. And sideburns.
Hell, just make him into a Pulp Fiction styled Samuel L. Jackson.

Kid Blackarus? Blacktroid? The Hunchblack of Blotre Blame?

I can see it now...
Nintendo blaxploitation. Excellent.

The original sketch had the snakes coming out of a jar, and I'd also toyed with the idea of a dancing reaper. I love those guys

I always like the wierd music that plays when the grim reapers spot you.

Yeah, still I say the Eggplant Wizards were the best enemies in the game. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aye, but they're confined to the castle stages, whereas this one's outside. I don't rate them much because their damn eggplant spell is sooo damn annoying!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think I ever got far enough to encounter the Eggplant Wizards (on account I don't own the game.) I'll probilly get it for Virtual Console, when I get a Wii. (BTW is it true that you can now save any VC game that didn't have a save feature?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, kinda. When you press the Home button, it holds your game exactly where you left it. Like an extended Pause. It's very handy, especially with NES games which I no longer have the time to dedicate to endless playing.
The VC was the first time I finished Kid Icarus. Before that I'd never gotten past level 1-3 (which is definitely one of the hardest levels in the game, just because you're so weak). But it's worth persevering past that. Also, the Game Boy sequel is also very good - better in certain ways (picked that up for £1 at a second hand store).

I almost got the Gameboy Kid Icarus game for 7 bucks (used) but instead I got something else. I kinda regret not getting it when I had the chance.
I hope someday they put up Gameboy titles on the Virtual Console.

For download onto a DS memory cart, I hope

It would be cool if they started making portable VC games, but I feel the DS's pixal resolution would make a Gameboy or GB Color game's screen to small. (Just look how small it was on the GBA.) Mabey, it would be better if they did that for a new Nintendo portable.

Looks great, Having no outline really works well in this piece. maybe you could make his right wing a darker color intead of just part of the left (so they became easier to tell apart)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, the wings bother me too. Might amend that

Very cool concept. And I like the "old-school" Pit the best. Him and Myths and Monsters. (although I like the blade weapon of the new one)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All of them have something cool about them, but I think Myths and Monsters is my favourite design. I seem to pick the design I go for based on what game I'm basing the drawing on though.

Woo! Well, there'll be more coming soon
