Pixelated Art[ist Showcase]
« on: July 25, 2009, 06:30:41 PM »
DeviantArt is an amazing place. You can find people from all walks of life, drawing about all kinds of freaky shit. There are fetishes there even I didn't know existed. Today, we'll step away from the 4Chan inspired artists, and take a look at Yaku-Zan, who seems to have more of a focus on video games than animatronic genitalia.


Boasting a collection of works inspired by NES, SNES, Genesis and Amiga characters, Yaku-Zan shows that retro = classic = memorable. From Ganon to Tails, each of these pixelated creations bring back memories that were never quite as clear as they are here. Where else are you going to find GBA Pokemon standing next to SNES Boba Fett? Never I tell you! Comparing an 8-Bit version of Samus Aran with her 16-bit counterpart reminds me of how big a jump we took between console generations.


Visit Yaku-Zan's page and see for yourself. http://yaku-zan.deviantart.com/gallery/

It was planned to have small delay on programming for a period of 3 months, due to location moving of programmer... but then we got another news, we are ahead of schedule programming wise!

player camera is already done, mouse picking will come in with movement (already on work) since we aren't having free roaming camera, viewable player is already supported, just have to add customized avatars to make it worth doing...

And that said we are all behind with art production sadly

We have filled the position for character illustrator/concept, he is working on some sketches clean ups and colors definition so far, posting sketches below.

But we are in quite a need for ideal environment concept designer and In game artist which should be a pixel artist or not quite...

Lately I have been looking into game arts and have noticed this nice style, like a combination of pixel art and digital effects made on photoshop (brushes, etc...)
If anyone interested can work with that I would really appreciate to hear from them.
