hundred hand slap!
I'm going to attempt to draw regularly again... even though I have an insane love for video games. I figured if I actually took the time to make one of these it would give me a reason to. This is my experiment.
So this started out as me being bored when i still worked at the movie theater. It started as Mario riding on a cloud in a Goku-esque style. But my boredom sitting in box office ensued day after day, so I started drawing a few other characters. Until I decided at the time..."welp I'm unemployed as a graphic designer so i might as well keep drawing to get my illustration and wacom skills better". That's when I decided I'd make a collage of all the Smash Bros characters, and the deadline I set for myself was before the new game was going to come out for Wii (last March). However tragedy struck and this unfortunately was the last jpg i made of it before my computer's hard drive crapped out on me and I of course didn't back it up elsewhere. So this is all that remains. The discouraging part was that about 11 of those characters I drew straight in the computer with my wacom pad, so it wasn't even like I could just scan them in and redo the color. I attempted to start over and even make it a little bit more crazy than this one but unfortunately I also needed to revise everything in my portfolio that I had lost as well. Maybe one day....
This was sort of a tribute to The Strokes album Room On Fire. The illustration was taken from the lyrics of Reptilia, "the room is on fire, while she's fixing her hair". It was originally an illustration project for school where we had to redesign a cd cover, but I wasn't happy so I sort of recently redid it and the original can be found HERE.
