Lisa Hamilton - Dead or Alive

Thought I'd get Lisa Hamilton out of the way. Probably one of the more forgotten Dead or Alive characters I reckon. Or at least, I don't see her around much.
Work continues with finding a full body model of Amanda Ripley. I'm not happy with what they did release though, since it doesn't match the other art on the site so far. And it also looks super squished or something.



The quest continues.
In the meantime I leave this sound clip I made with Matt. It's very deep and intense. You may not be able to handle it. You have been warned.

How Many of the Top 10 8Bit Girls Have I done?


I got asked on G+ how many of these girls I had done. I wrote such a long comment that I figured I may as well make it a blog post here, as a quick rundown and "behind the scenes" peek at how I'm doing with my 8Bit Girl Series.

Bayonetta. Done. She's actually one of my favourites that I've drawn.
I've been holding off from doing the Mortal Kombat Girls for now.
Ivy is the only character from Soulcalibur I've done so far. Blugh, I could probably redraw her better now as well.
Kasumi's done. She was the second one I did a Screencast of while I drew her. It probably didn't help. Ha ha. I could probably do a better job.
I haven't done Morrigan yet even though you've already asked. Ha ha
Samus was the very first character I did when I decided to do the series hard out. Although I went with her battlesuit because it's way cool. She's also the character I use to standardise the height of all my other characters. Probably shouldn't be doing that considering how friggin tall she is in the suit.
I haven't done Jade yet, purely because she's boring. But she's on the list.
I haven't done Tifa yet. The only character I have done for Final Fantasy is Lightning. I'm not opening that can of worms for a while.
Chun Li was my First screencast I did.
Laracroft, done. Ha ha, Even did a run cycle of her.

So that's 6/10. Not as good as I would have thought. I'm holding off from doing all the big names right away, just so the end of my series isn't a whole pile of unknowns to everyone.

Ellen Ripley - Alien Isolation

So I was pretty stoked when I read that Alien: Isolation was going to have Preorder DLC with Ellen in it. They did a wicked awesome job at her render. I'm fully pumped for this game. One of my prerequisites for doing these 8Bit Characters is that they must have a strong presence within a game. For a while Ripley hasn't checked that box. Well, she sorta has, but I haven't been counting it.


I noticed that the official site doesn't have any nice high res versions of the concept art and the new Nostromo crew. So for the sake of us all I've gone to the liberty of tracking a couple down and leaving them here. Open in New Tab and then save 'em! Edit Crap, Blogger has condensed them. Oh well, Ripley is Here.






I won't be doing Amanda Ripley till some full body shots come to light. Hopefully They get onto it soon.

Decapre - Street Fighter

Decapre is pretty much reskinned Cammie, although this makes sense considering she's a clone of Cammie. She first became playable in Ultra Street Fighter 4, although she had been lurking around earlier than that as a background character.

Marie Rose & Helena - Dead Or Alive 5 Ultimate

Apparently Helena and Marie Rose are chums, so figured I better do them together. Marie Rose is a brand new character that first appeared in the Japanese DOA5U Arcade version. She comes in as the shortest character, but I kept her the standard height of all my other characters. My bad.
She's part of this new DLC deal that Tekken has bought into as well. I don't know if Street Fighter has gone in the same direction or not but I wouldn't be surprise if the micro-transaction disease has spread that far. It's dark days for Fighters.

Triss Merigold - Witcher 2

I played the first Witcher a while ago. Before I was big into Steam. A fan told me that Witcher was awesome "Oh but the fighting isn't very good, but the story is amazing." "So the actual gameplay sucks?" "I guess.." "So the game sucks?" "... No."
It was way too clunky for me and it just didn't catch me at a good time. So I returned it and never played it again. Matt busted through the ones that are out on Steam and dug them. Apparently Van Helsing Geralt bangs just about every chick in sight.
Turns out Triss even made it onto the polish version of Playboy back in 2011.

Guy Fawkes Vid - EP13



Shot over 2012 & 2013. I think this is the last of my back catalogue of friends mucking around. Quin did all the shots during the fireworks.
The second half is me opening a present from Matt, which is part of an ongoing thing we do where we give each other money in annoying ways. Matt doesn't realise this but I actually entombed his money in a shitty book. Good luck getting your money back out of that one bro.
The last half was part of a day where we filmed Becky for some thing she was doing for Bee & Puppycat. I put in all the bits that never made it into her final cut.
