Re: Donkey Kong in the style of native american art



Thought that I might point out Mario's face found in DK's chest. It was a regular practice in Northwest Native American art to have faces within the initial design.

Thanks a ton for the votes and the nice comments!

Thank you everyone. It was supposed to be a loose rendition of aeris/aerith. I didn't know there was another similar to mine. Bummer :|

You knocked it out of the park! It has to move up in the rankings. I believe it. My wallet is sitting on my desk, right next to my keyboard.

Kilagria - I've been there

octo - Aww... thanks. I'm a little disappointed that my designs aren't doing that great this time around. I feel like they're my best. Ah, what can ya do. I'll try to keep up the good work.

knightvision3d - Hah! Headless models are all the rage in Norway. Soon the trend will spread here. You didn't know?

realitytwist - Thanks for the compliment! I've been trying to use my powers of mind control on this one to get it up to at least 9th place. I can feel it working... sort of.

overcyn - Well, to be fair. It's only about 150 wooters that have no taste. If you stop back here again, maybe you could say what you don't like about it. I'm not offended or anything. Just curious.



youve got me so wrong. i absolutely love this one. i was just agreeing with someone that yours should be up in first or seconrd

This isn't on theme: you are supposed to state what artistic theme or artist's style you are emulating in the title.

The minimalist design is the best part. I could see someone wearing this to a Stones concert...

Re: Jumpman in the style of 1920's Animation



Thanks so much all of you for the positive feedback. I was a bit worried with the animation not being ART history controversy that this might not have been well received. There was more I wanted to add to this (like a BG and some dust/film scratches to each frame) but my cold got the better of me. I'm feeling better thanks for asking.

Actually, if you read closely Jesus had four brothers, and it is believed he had several sisters as well.

Well, there's a very obvious commentary with this image not present in the Mario/Simpsons version. That's an important distinction.

Come on, Joel. You're killing me.



David...you know it's nothing personal. We warned that this derby would flirt with the edges of copyright issues. You bet big you win big...or lose 8 hours of your time. As I said, there's some subjective issues here around whether or not this is an historically recognized period in art (I'll agree cartoons fit), but this comes down to a copyright issue more than the other issues.

I agree that this is way more than 6 colors. Each shade of a color counts as a color. I don't think this designer understood that.

I didn't mean to get across that I didn't think it was not art, that just it seems that it is a relatively new style, as ASCII art is, so those 2, IMO, would be in the same category for "allowable"


cause I certainly like both

Re: Chocobos in the style of Salvador Dali



I love the artwork, very well done. I just wish it was all ff related, perhaps one of them carrying the ragnarok or other of their large airships. But nonetheless, it gets my vote.

Yes, I think he does Els....just this week he has done Pacman, Simpsons and now Portal.........he hit the trifecta!

Re: Gamer Mother in the style of Whistler



I've held off on commenting on this one simply because I didn't think my words would do this justice. And now I see it's dropped out of the fog. ACK! I'm starting to see a trend here that my favourites aren't going to continually get the love they deserve.

Anyway, this is really wonderful and I don't know how to describe it other than it really makes me smile. Nice work, loop.

Re: Chocobos in the style of Salvador Dali



Ooh, beautiful piece of work, Boots!

First you do Dig Dug, then you do a take on one of my favourites from Dali?! And your use of chocobos! Ooh. What can I say other than I really wish both of these were doing much better. And that I have high hopes if my dreams are crushed (again) this derby, that you will offer these up in your store eventually. They're both truly groovy. Truly.

Re: Dopefish in the style of mosaic



Dopefish first appeared in the Commander Keen game. He was then seen in a whole lot of other games and TV shows, and a variety of places in cameos. He is still appearing today.
