Belly of the Beast, new digital art piece!

James — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 09:56:03 +0000

Now that I finally have “U.F.O. Catcher” out the door, I can concentrate on some more art projects before I begin another animation. I decided to draw a piece related to the animation. I wanted something frantic that didn’t just centered on a certain character, yet contained all the characters in the piece.

Here is my first art piece of 2010. “Belly of the Beast” is the name of the claw game featured in the animation, so I thought it would be cool to name this piece after that. I hope you guys like it!

Check it out on DeviantArt here…

I decided to enter this in hopes of doing well in it. My entry is under GoshaDole

Capcom Unity Pump Man Fan Art Contest

I was hoping that you guys could help me out and vote (you don’t have to if you don’t want to).

I did a collab with Disko Warp, who remixed the theme from the Mega Man 10 trailer. My entry is just a loop of Pump Man doing what he does best, heh. This is a small play on the whole Jersey Shores thing with his crazy fist pumping.

You can also view it in Flash with the original unremixed loop here…

Flash version (original and remixed!)

Again, thanks to anyone who votes, I’ll be very thankful if I manage to somehow win this thing!

A couple of pics from new animation…

Well, I’m about 70% done with my new animation, so I figured I should release some pics of it! I posted these on my deviantart already, but if you don’t frequent that site, then here you go!

I’m hoping to have this done in time to enter it as an OAV submission for the Sakura Con 2010 AMV contest. If you enjoy my work, then I think you’ll really enjoy this piece!
