Description :text taken from the newgrounds:

here's my entry for the newgrounds calendar contest for 2011! i decided to do a newgroundian comrade quake! egads!

i drew up some of the more recent newground deals and put them on a shifting and chaotic ground of rocks, artillery, and iron treads. the rocks represent crude ideas and they are mortared with blood to represent all the hard work that everyone puts into each and every one of their submissions. the billowing standard of the hominid and the fossilized tankman skull shows us to never forget the original newground content on our chaotic journey to the bright, lightning blasted future.

in no way is my image playing down to the classic newground content, you know as much as i do how important they are and that they will be here forever, always making us laugh, cry, and get our game on. this image is just to show that a brand new lineup of newgroundian champions are ready and able to take up the front lines as we push onward!

i tried to fit in all of my recent favorites from tom's awesome list of newground sponsored content, i did have to take some imaginative liberties on some of the more classic art styles (that's what a space-ninja looks like right?) but it was totally fun and awesome to draw these amazing games. can you name them all? or have i brutally failed in my artistic attempts? D:

i have always considered it an honor to be apart of this community (newgrounds) and hope that i have represented that in my entry.

so tread onwards you beautiful mess of internet-ownage. the orange and the black are here to attack!

*highfives*

Awesome work here joust! All the guys look terrific, but I'll be honest with you, Super Meat Boy is a bit strange in this drawing. His mouth is somewhat wrong, too big, but I'm just sayin'.
But the drawing is still super-cool.

You're welcome. But what I was trying to say is that the smile don't match with the character itself.

I'm pretty sure that this qualifies for some form of eye-sex.

Any way, I love the chaotic, brawling nature of this piece - you've applied your style in liberal doses to Newgrounds yet again and the result is spectacular - representing everything from the old and the new, like you've said, and it brings a tear to my eye seeing them all as they should be.

Just a few questions, I've always been meaning to ask, how long does a picture like this take you to do, and what program do you usually use? Forgive me for prying, but a drawbarian tools are always of interest.

jouste In reply to DaNite [2010-09-07 19:51:59 +0000 UTC]

hey thanks again for such a burly comment!

this one i drew in around 5-6 hours cause i'm still pretty groggy from pax. if theres only one or two characters in the image i can get it done fairly fast, but when theres a bunch of elements like this one it takes a while to draw them all.

as for tools i use a cintiq 12wx, sketchbook pro for my lines, and photoshop to color. hope that answers your question!

DaNite In reply to jouste [2010-09-08 10:10:46 +0000 UTC]

Worthy tools of the drawbarian!
I can definitely see where the cintiq and sketchbook have come in, and especially how it's all come together - I love working out stuff like that, and you truly are bloody skilled at this.

As for the characters, I can definitely see what you mean - when it comes to a cartoonistic style, a character or two really isn't a big deal, but when you have to start arranging for multiple instances of characters, how the y fit together and whatnot, the time piles up, but for 5-6 hours you've done a whole lot, even not considering that you're groggy.

Anyway, thanks for answering ^^ - I might be more then a little wordy but I like to think that I deliver something worth reading.
