Nonstandard artwork of familiar characters
>>743393571
>>743393571zelda if he sierra character
Finally an excuse to use this image
>>743393571Zelda looks weird as fuck here
>>743393952It kinda reminds me of that one guy on Youtube that does those rotoscoped animations, I forget what hes called
There's a whole field with "foreign" artwork. Taiwan, Brazil, Argentina, etc played imported Japanese games, and they often had their own art. There's whole archive channels dedicated to just scanning old game mags from these countries.Trivia: Without reading the Chinese, can you tell what game this is for?
>>743394106Resident Evil....?
>>743394158is that simon bisley?
>>743394158MARY!MARRRRRRRRRRRRRR
>>743394106looks like parasite eve
>>743394195Gonna keep going until you get it.
>>743394403Yes, Parasite Eve II. Taiwan wasn't very rich, so they were making original art that was kinda sloppy.
>>743394276Stephen Platt.
Honestly the art for this is sick
>>743394563Squeenix should totally do a Western dark fantasy spin-off of DQ.
>>743394676Japan would riot
Proto-Chun-li speaks to Ryu who looks like Richter Belmont in this Gamest SF1 comic.
>>743394827Did Japan riot when Stranger of Paradise was announced?
>>743393885lol is this real
>>743394826>huh, this looks like early final fantasy concept art>look up the artistO_____O
>>743394676They probably cancelled DQ XII The Flames of Fate because people were getting sick of Game of Thrones’ stink on every fantasy IP.
>>743394676Dragon Quest shouldn't really be messed with too much, it's bad enough Toriyama's designs get censored.
Yoshitaka Amano's promotional artwork for FF16.
>>743394884>ken, ryu, and chun li are all students under the same teacher>their teacher is also chun li's dad>sagat killed their teacher>拳>隆what the fuck
>>743395185I think there is a middleground between Dragon Quest and Game of Thrones.
>>743394903that Dan Aykroyd gets me every time
>>743395335>Amano>nonstandard art for FFBwo...
>>743393571Tim Allen as Shigeru Miyamoto's Link in"Zelda II: The Adventure of Link"
>>743395392The Eikons in FF16 look vastly different from Amano's drawings, so it counts.
>>743394158Mary, where the FUCK are you??
>>743394903Bruce Campbell on the right
>>743396398I think that's supposed to be Kyle MacLachlan from Dune.
>>743395960This video gets me every fucking time!
>>743395052no-one knew samus was a girl until they got to the secret ending.or used the cheat.99% of the products made for its release were done based on the ads, where no-one knew she was a girl.
>>743395335That's cool
>>743394158>>743394271looks sick as fuck
>>743393571Eugh?!
I remember seeing this in PSM or something.
>>743395052Yes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdmXpy0ux1s
>>743393885looks kino honestly
>>743394903Who the fuck even are these people? LOL >>743393571Anyway, Captain James T. Strider will forever be a favorite of mine.
>>743394158I feel like nearly every protagonist from vidya was drawn like this at some point in that eraWhat do you even call that style, 90s edgy comic book style?
>>743402264>>743402446I know people hate the inaccuracies of these, but I find them cute and charming. Plus, objectively these are well rendered/painted. Actual pin-up boomer esqe talent.
>>743402575McFarlane style.just needs more pouches.
>>743404941
>>743400947God I wish remake cloud actually looked like that and not some emo femboy. He looks so much cooler here.
>>743393689You got me thinking about how shitty the US boxart for Zeliard is, lol. Why'd they turn Duke Garland into a viking?>>743393885Masc Samus looking a bit like Doomguy, lol. >>743394563>>743394614I like these a lot. DQ always had unusually good westernized artwork, even if I prefer Toriyama's work. Pretty sure the art for DQ2's US boxart is done by a Japanese artist too.
>>743406958is it me or does the version of megaman on the right resemble Nicolas cage?
>>743393571cursed
>>743393571Geralt of Shinra
>>743407174looks kino Tbh
>>743407190
>>743395317Officially licensed film depiction Hoskins actually did a good job, given the script.
>>743408296>SCAPELLI
>>743399924> tim allen and sigourney weaver as link and zeldawould actually be pure kino
>>743393571Proto gba mother 3
>>743393885I think that one's supposed to be Ridley on the left if we go by his NES sprite.
Ken Sugimori Phantasy Star
Mamaru Nagano Phantasy Star
>>743395057What, is he a porn artist?
We almost got Final fantasy comics in the 90s
>>743408830
>>743408830>©Disneywe could have had a shitty final fantasy cartoon out of this
>>743408830>Kurt BusiekOkay, now I want an FF where you play as the bad guys but over time become heroes ala the original Thunderbolts
>>743408296In Japan they did a tie in manga in the style of Mario Kun. And they kept adding live action yoshi to the actual manga as a joke.
>>743408992>>743408978Rosa and Cid are my favourite redesigns.
Terada art is amazing but I dont have any of his old zelda stuff on me
>>743407058kekNo, yeah, I see it.
>>743408489Holy fuck Duster KEK
>>743409335The second edition added a guide for Zelda 3 and doubled the page count
>>743393571pure kino
I believe this was for a magazine cover by Joe Madueira, headliner of X-Men in the 90s
>>743409135That slime looks like those eyes are all that remain of some guy it ate.
Novel samus
This is what Psaro looked like before Toriyama just wholesale copied Sephiroth for IV's PS1 remake
>>743409536
>>743394826Literally WHY why would they chose Yoshitaka Amano for thisIt makes no sense other than being lel so randumb.
>>743394158>>743394271Harry got the same treatment.
>>743409072Soviet Alice?
>>743410029
>>743409891Bum Tickley tries his best
>>743410029Why is the cop jerkin herself off
>>743409729
>>743410063
>>743409302I hate how good this is
>>743410001SE owns Gex, I think that's the only connection. Limited Run commissioned him as a joke I guess.
>>743402264Mega Man having bad box art is a running gag
>>743410101
>>743410001https://x.com/JoshFairhurst/status/2074845204830359838>Years ago, I commissioned Yoshitaka Amano to paint a cover for the upcoming GEX Trilogy.>I figured: "Why not have Square Enix's top artist illustrate Square Enix's top franchise?"Anyway, here's Cuphead.
>>743410158I thought this was Shelly from Ion Maiden but turns out its just Laguna and the gang. lol.
>>743393885This is still female Samus, just made by modern western devs
>>743408296Daniella is the best Mario Bros waifu but /v/ isn't ready for that kind of discussion yet.
>>743409891You can tell he thought this was AMAZING
>>743410302holy torpedotits
>>743409891>>743410518Makes me feel kinda bad for him for a momentThen I remember he still made tons of money anyway
I always find the collabs with Bkub the funniest shit ever.
>>743394291I liked this Link.
>>743410443Fuck, a Bruce Timm Tomb Raider cartoon would've been amazing.
>>743409081Lol of course they have to give the female character that stereotypical western 90's cartoon female jumpsuit.
>>743410156Thadus
>>743410443Saving this.
>>743395347What you are thinking of is final fantasy
>>743394430Ew her tiny realistic human mouth
>>743411998What did they do to my cute chibi final boss!? I saw the colors and Conan Randi I knew..
>>743407190>>743408068horrific downgrade
>>743393885LOL
>>743409474What the fuck that's cool as shit.
>>743402264Dragon looks like that dbz broly meme
>>743394826
>>743412105
>>743412467>"SHUDDUP PHIIIIL"!>"NO, YOU SHUDDUP, LILLIAN"!
>>743408489You can really see the Love-de-Lic style here.
Glad you could make it Uther (2019)
>>743409651I like the current Psaro but this is cool as fuck, yeah.
>>743412467
>>743408897Everyone looks sick in this page except Kain, they leaned too hard into his traitor phase.
>>743408830Oh shit, it finally clicked: the woman in the middle is supposed to be Rydia? LOL
>>743410101Missed chance to have weaboo katana Harry.
>>743414171I've always wondered to what extent the old man in this picture understood (or even cared about) what the fuck he was even posing for kek
>>743410302This art is cursed
>>743396398retard
>>743410302
>>743393885Samson McAran, scrouge of the free universe
>>743395370i think its closer to bill paxton
>>743402264Looks like karl from athf in the back.
