Adventure Island and Fantasy Zone

Sweet awesomeness, who else remembers Adventure Island? I especially remember seeing it in the arcade when I was little, then repeatedly renting Adventure Island II for the NES. Really hard game if you ask me. I haven't finished it before (without save states), but then again, i really haven't tried in years...

So out of the blue I feel like drawing some Master Higgins. Rockin! He came out rather nicely... and just yesterday they release a new Adventure Island game for WiiWare... how cool could that be?

I'm thinkin of adding some dinosaurs in the pic, cuz they were always a favorite part for me...

Since i'm feelin' retro, just last night I sat down and doodled out some Fantasy Zone action!
NOTE: WITHOUT REFERENCE...

I think I like how it's turning out so far, but going back to the internet today to look for references, I came across this picture...

Now, if I had finished it like it was, the resemblance would have been pretty close... Even the posing of the little Opa-Opa is very similar, with the jet trails curving back.

The similarity is almost creepy... maybe i'm channeling 1980's japanese game artists?

Undercity


Prot Warrior Slaybelle and Shadow Priest Lindblum rest for a bit in one of the Undercity's many alcoves.

This was drawn and inked by my girlfriend/fiancee, and I got to do the colors for it. Fun times, and I like how it turned out. :)

Ice Man (No, not Top Gun)

Ice Man! Tried to make him look cold while still going for the bright Capcom official colors. :D
