Artist Turns 46 Gaming Icons Into a Space Invader

[sportsboy85]

This is so awesome! Where's Tetris though?

Now that is just fantastic; interesting way of getting Half-Life and Portal together in one fell swoop, and I approve of having the Heavy, Sam and Max, and Manny Calvera in there as well.

Also, who's that guy right after Duke Nukem in his underwear? That was one of the only ones I didn't get.

It's Arthur, from Ghosts 'N Goblins of course

He was born in the wrong year . I used to have Ghosts N Goblins on my gameboy.

Why is The Freeman eating the Portal cake?

Isn't that like Commander Shepard with a lightsaber?

"Maybe you'll find someone else
to help you?
Maybe Black Mesa?
That was a joke! *HAHA- Fat Chance!*

Anyway this cake is great!
It's so delicious and moist!"

Also, Portal and HL were both developed by Valve.

Star wars had absolutely no connection to ME series except for being sci-fi... oh, and I suppose biotics were just jedis with guns.

This is pretty good, but I'm going to get picky here by saying that Vault Boy is a mascot, or icon of the Fallout games, not an actual character.

We wouldn't be able to identify anyone else from the Fallout series - Sulik isn't well known enough, SuperMutants look like the Hulk, and everyone else were just generic NPC sprites/models that were occasionally given great character parts. Anyone in power-armor would be too meh to include.

Harold on the other hand... hmmm, maybe too minor a character, but we all loved Harold.

This art pays homage to gaming legends - the inspiration to include Vault-Boy was more taken from the original FO series than the new ones - everyone loved the many many different Vault-Boy illustrations in the original - and was the first thing we identify with from the FO series.

I hope you've played the original FO series at least - then you'll know, FO deserves a spot not because of the Oblivion with guns and mutants in a wasteland reboot - but because of the legendary isometric pure RPG in the originals.

Im sorry but im not impressed, anyone could do this.

Prove your point, do something better.

After reading comments, only one I'm in doubt about is the green hairy dude at the bottom right. Who is that? On another note, this would look so good on my wall

You. Are. Not. Serious. (or not a gamer )

Go play Street Fighter and find out for yourself XD

I couldn't agree more with what you've just said, and while I've only played Fallouts One, Three and New Vegas, I remember clearly that Vault Boy is a true icon of the series, and is a great mascot, I was being pedantic in the fact that he is not a character, merely an icon or a mascot.
He deserves to be on there more than many characters, but the mosaic is a mosaic of characters, and as an icon/mascot, he and the chocobo, who I just realised isn't a character either, break the trend of 46 other characters.

M'kay. Go. Do this. On your own.

Why would they want to do something they just said they find unimpressive?

Essentially, what SIX said. I was challenging him to do something better, or at least equal if he thinks anyone could do it.

...Great? Why is this news? Slow day?

This is news because it fits these definitions.

1. A report of a recent event; intelligence;
2. The presentation of a report on recent or new events in a newspaper or other periodical
4. A person, thing, or event considered as a choice subject for journalistic treatment; newsworthy material.

Really? Anyone could paint 46 individual stylised yet instantly recognisable paintings of gaming icons? Ok mr. show us all your amazing arkwork. Go on. Im waiting. Before you just "Meh" at everything maybe you should condiser the actual work that must have gone into painting each of these and maybe not run your mouth off like you are some kind of creative god.

Honestly I would, if I wasn't so bloody poor. If i could efford the paint and tolls I would gladly do it well not the same thing but something actually astonishing.

I agree, sorry for my ignorance but why is this news, I'm pretty sure my little brother can arrange that out of dominoes and all you'd need is some videogame characters slapped on and, really, if that makes news then what doesn't?(again, sorry if I'm being ignorant or hurtful)

 

[Nouw]

Oh, is that all? A bunch of arranged tiles?

I was expecting video game characters re-imagined as Space Invader-esque enemies.

Kinda like that one a while back with the Pokemon as cosplay costumes.

I agree, nevertheless this is quite awesome.

Snip

Then you can't do it because you could never get the chance or possibly the effort.

Good find guys!

I hate how Sonic looks so cute, but other than that I approve.
