Good work all round by Allfather Starr	Mar 25th, 2007 11:22:22 PM
Some nice pieces there. And good for you Monki, you take a lot of shit about your games column, most of it deserved I'm sorry to say, but at least you got your shit together and completed a competition as promised, unlike the rest of the lazy fuckers round here. Good work, mate.

Congrats on getting some AICN recognition, bro. You'll always be a winner to me! Love you, etc.
what is this you say about ryu by PotSmokinAlien	Mar 25th, 2007 11:38:38 PM
ken the blonde american sure was lame but the slightly faster, more honorable ryu was not in it for the fame as his californian airhead of an opponant was. he was in it for the honor. ryu lame-- i do not think so

Oh yes. That's right. A Double Dragon movie reference.

Why is Zelda carrying a bucket of chicken? by Boondock Devil	Mar 26th, 2007 01:15:41 AM
I'm guessing it's a reference to the whole "chicken whacking" from A Link to the Past?
Terrance's "Accepting her Fate." by Nodwick	Mar 26th, 2007 02:21:02 AM
Looks like Terrance is a fan of Frank Cho, monkeys and all.
NICE by BannedOnTheRun	Mar 26th, 2007 04:33:51 AM
Although I never grew to love the NES controller, 'cause I never had one. I was an Atari 2600 baby. Now could you help me open this jar of mayonnaise, sonny?
To those who didn't win... by BannedOnTheRun	Mar 26th, 2007 04:35:38 AM
You're all losers and will soon be receiving "Funny Money" DVDs in the mail.
TERRIFIC! by Sit and Watch	Mar 26th, 2007 05:50:43 AM
Realy love the controller and DK! All the others are great too.
I LOVE the DK and the Zelda one by 0007	Mar 26th, 2007 07:46:35 AM
I just wish Zelda didn't have those anachronisms in her hands. That'd be the best piece of Zelda art ever if not for that. I'd love to buy the original of the DK drawing.
They're all pretty interesting... by film_fanatic_in_the_original_bla ck_and_white	Mar 26th, 2007 08:33:30 AM
In particular, the shameless KFC plug in the Zelda picture has led me to the conclusion that once again, corporations control everything, even the thought of an artist looking to get ahead by drawing in a corporate logo in an original creation that did not need any advertising, whatsoever. What a mindtrap that is. Then again, it could just be me.
Wow thats some good stuff by godzillasushi	Mar 26th, 2007 08:49:58 AM
Im practically shocked!
Chicken Bucket by klawful	Mar 26th, 2007 09:45:33 AM
I'd like to say the chicken bucket is in reference to an earlier piece for the Minibosses (an excellent VG cover band)--As the Zelda art was used for a flyer for them. It was about a fat Megaman stuffing his face with chicken while Samus (Metroid) and Alucard (CV) dueled it out on the ol' NES. I aint no coporate shill! You can see that earlier piece if yer interested at http://matt-illustrations.com/ index-klawful.html

DK by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Mar 26th, 2007 01:56:18 PM
Love the Frank Cho channeled Donkey Kong piece. Nice work.
Whoops by HeWhoCannotBeNamed	Mar 26th, 2007 02:12:44 PM
Should have read all posts i.e. Nodwick's comment before posting.
Thanks Klawful by Boondock Devil	Mar 26th, 2007 03:20:53 PM
I completely understand now. Can't blame Zelda either... it's hard to resist a bucket of golden fried chicken-y goodness.
Woo! by Crimean	Mar 26th, 2007 03:48:15 PM
Congratulations to all the other people who got picked. I did the Donkey Kong drawing and tried to stay as far from Frank Cho as I could while doing a pen and ink illustration of a lady with an ape(not as cartoonish, not as good) but he does have a real lock on the subject. Super quick results for an art contest.
it's a damn fine drawing of by klawful	Mar 26th, 2007 04:30:31 PM
it's a damn fine drawing of an ape and a girl. Nice work, man.
Ms. Pac Man by Deeez Nuuuts	Mar 26th, 2007 07:24:54 PM
Gotta Eat. I bet she gives great head too.
Velasquez by Bunch-backdToad	Mar 26th, 2007 08:13:01 PM
It's a painting by Diego Velasquez (or Velazquez, depending on how you want to spell it.)
Wow by skinnebrew	Mar 27th, 2007 03:53:09 PM
Really nice stuff. I love the megaman stuff
CRAP!!! by Dwarves	Mar 30th, 2007 08:54:03 PM
This is a good example of why people who review movies shouldn't be allowed to critique art. While the contest was admirable to offer, it was a testament to basic high school critical analysis that comes from little or no understanding beyond aesthetic qualities in art. No context or subject matter in any or all of these works, they might work better as a tattoo on some fat chick’s ankle than in a gallery of any sort. And no, I didn't submit to the contest, it isn't my focus. Keep up the contests I just hope there is better examples of art in the future.
Dwarves by Crimean	Mar 31st, 2007 02:11:47 PM
Of course art is subjective, so I'll respect the opinion, but you do realize that most of the above work is technically illustration not fine art. Either way, I think it's a good group.
Your completly right art is subjective. by Dwarves	Mar 31st, 2007 11:48:33 PM
It's a dick move to bitch at something someone put the effort into, espc when it's a contest I support. Some of the work is pretty good, the Donkey Kong is sharp and tank is smooth...others a good as well. I have to admit having the Mrs. PacMan up first got my goat.
Would've loved to see Elevator Action interpreted... by GrandMuffTarkin	Apr 17th, 2007 08:57:45 AM
As some Mike Zeck/Punisher action, that would've been cool. Particularly if the artist could incorporate crushing the baddie with the elevator thing.
