Glad to see that i'm not the only one thinking of megaman!
Weazle- There is a way to post multiple images, it involves uploading through another website like photobucket. The entire process was on a forum post not to long ago in help and support, but unfortunatly I couldn't find it for you, nor do I know how to do it.
Can anyone else shed some insight?
I have been using Insert/Edit Image on the toolbar for multiple images, then you use the link to the external image, note I have not gotten this to work using Safari.
Mindbender- I would eliminate the staircase. It is distracting and pulls the eye away from the focal point which should be Link.
Thanks for the advice. IF I keep it I'm planning to make it really dark, barely visible (wanted to capture something of that sweet "ka-ka-ka-ka-ka" sound of Link walking into the cave) .
Im going the way of Zelda with my FIRST EVER attempt! Trying to recreate the final Link vs Ganon battle from Zelda 1 in a Wind Waker cell shaded style! at least thats the plan! Will post progress images when I get a moment!
Liquidgfx- Great idea with the cel shading, I loved the Wind Waker game for its artistic look, interested to see what method you use to achieve the look.
I love the Metroid series, most memorable would have to be the epic fight between Ridley and Samus.

Here's another idea I'm batting around for a Mario/Bowser
Here Bowser is more of a demon, I'm not quite decided how I'd handle the empty space on the sides, but a few thoughts would be: 1) Darkness and the heat/light of the lava radiating up, maybe distorting the view a bit, 2) mountains of skulls, 3) Bowsers minions clawing to get at mario on the platform
Well, I'm new to the whole challenge thing but I'm thinking Double Dragon. I spent days of my life on that damn game. I don't think I ever did beat it.
I expect I'll have a WiP up in a day or two.

Great ideas , but personally I think I liked the previous angle better. More sense of depth, more "epic" somehow.
Btw, when I think about Mario in one of the "big castles" I mostly remember those rotating burning swords. Maybe add one of those as well? Keep going, looking good

Welcome, though I never played DD on the Nintendo (but on Amiga and Commodore 64) it's one of those "nostalgia" games. Looking forward to your take on it. What I remember from it is those giants and a woman with a wip (or was it a WiP? ).
Mjasnowski- I really like the dynamic angle you put on the most recent sketch, Bowser looks rather intimidating with his daunting size!
Mindbender- This is a paint over that I did of my nephew a few months back. I wanted to go with the an 8 bit look as well so I referenced some artwork from the Zelda series. Hopefully it helps.

Yeah, I can see that, would it make this one seem more epic if I reduced the size of mario and the platform? I've attached a sample
My 1st WIP! Looks a mess I know! BUT its a WIP non the less! Using Illustrator CS4 at work during my dinner to get things done and hopefully looking nice and cell shaded!

If not, I wanted to show this off anyway ;). LOL!
Great picture. Thanks a lot for being so considerate :-)
