Completed picture. A mixture of 50 video games from the 80s. They range from PC-Engine, to Commodores, Atari to Master System and Arcades to Acorn BBC Micro computer.
*This has been my most enjoyed art by others, but I keep finding it plastered about with no credit or link back here by a few. Kind of annoying.
*Update* Here is the list of games: Zelda 2, Winter Games, Rollercoaster, Sir Lancelot, Mainc Miner, Psycho Fox, Metal Gear, Bubblegum Crisis, Bubble Bobble, Ghouls 'n'Goblins, Star Wars Arcade, Captain Trueno, Dizzy, Freddy Hardest, Myth, Zynaps, Air Wolf, Asteroids, Carmen Sandiego, Pong, Megaman, Sinistar, Wizard of Wor, Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Balloon Fight, Gunfight, Outlaw, QBert, Galaga, Adventure, Duck Hunt, Barbarian, Mario Bros., BurgerTime, Berzerk, Fishing Derby, Exolon, Dragon's Lair, Dig Dug, Wrecking Crew, Pacman, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr, Tetris, ET, Imogen, Chuckie Egg, Battlezone, Pitfall and Space Invaders.
How it was made:
The majority of the characters here were actually made but using a square block, duplicating it and moving it around into position. Depending on the complexity a single character could be made of up to 250 blocks and take around an hour to make. Characters from Burger Time, were much quicker to do and easier by hand drawing them on paper, scanning then colouring in.
As a fanart piece it is obvious I have no ownership over the characters portrayed. All rights go to their respective owners: Nintendo, SEGA, Atari, Capcom, Namco, A&F Software, Hewson Consultants, Hewson, Micro Power, CodeMasters, Data East et al.
Hi, can you do custom artwork in a similar style? I am looking to commission 3 images to be printed and applied to backlit plexi for a big party. Our theme is 8-bit Nostalgia.
