You know, i've never understood why people moan about nintendo constantly releasing their old games. I mean if they're good games who cares? I've eaten roast pork several times but i'd gladly eat it again

Oh yes, I know. But this artwork, if you red the info, is about characters from Nintendo and third-parties that have appeared on Nintendo consoles.
Therefore, Sonic is elegible.

Incredible job! I've always wanted to do something like this but the theme would be for specific game developers instead of console. (I tried my hand at it with just characters from PS2 platformers). Talk a bit about your process if you can:

You must have spent a lot of time just doing research and finding pics for reference.

I assume this was drawn on a computer? Even that must have been a challenge with a picture this size. Did you have a rough idea where some characters would go? Do you draw individual characters and then layer them in?

First of all, thank you for your comment. Really glad you liked it.

My initial focus was on Nintendo-only characters. And it was supposed to be around a hundred haracters. I started with the obvious. Mario, Zelda, Metroid. As development went on, I wanted to include more classic characters from the Arcade and NES era, obsure ones, new ones.

I eventually end up with adding third-parties as well. Nintendo has created some awesome games, but so have the third-parties. Can you think of great NES games and not think of Mega Man? Can you think of GameBoy and not think of Tetris? GameCube and Resident Evil 4?

About research, I mostly looked for pictures because I wanted all the characters to have designs and colors as accurate as possible to the original designs.

And yes, it was drawn on the computer with a mouse and a lot of patience and desire.

I did had a rough idea and I drew the characters very simple at first. And when I say simple I mean a circle for a head, for example. Because with that simple design the goal is to know were will all the characters go, what will they be doing and with who will it be interacting. Then I use a second layer to draw the actual characters. After that, a third layer for the colors. But yes, I do draw them all together.

Hope I've been of some help. Thanks again.
