Description Ohmigosh, BUBBLE BOBBLE! I used to LOVE this game as a kid!

So yeah, I made a post on our class message board asking what everyone was playing, and one guy mentioned he'd been working on old NES and SNES games. I asked if he'd ever played Bubble Bobble, and he was like, "Aw, yeah!"

That got me on a Bubble Bobble kick (I really want to play some, but my NES is in a box in the garage guarded by some dirt daubers), so to satisfy the itch, I sketched up the two dino-dragons floating on their bubbles.

Man I miss games like this. So simple and happy. Ah, nostalgia...you walk right down the Oregon Trail...

omg Sandy, that is so lovely
some of the cutest characters I've seen, 8-bit and not ~

actually I found the game in one of my local video game stores,
and since it's quite rare, I'm pondering over to buy it or not,
because it was pretty expensive too...

what do you think?

I LOVE that game! The dragons look almost perfect.

Great job on the bubbles, btw.

Did you have any reference for these guys? Because they look very much how I remember them.

Not that I could pick out stuff that isn't quite right myself ATM. XD

Nicely done, with just the right amount of cuteness.

Not really, no. I started the sketch in class one day, but class ended before I got much beyond the initial rough placement. So when I got home, I checked online for boxart (I had made the spines too small - they're still a little pointy and spacey - and the eyes were Sonic-style connected instead of two separate sclera). Then I finished the sketch in class the next day, including playing with the refraction index of the bubbles.
