Title: Sweet Japanese Style Nintendo Character Art
Post by: Flip_Willie on August 01, 2012, 11:54:11 pm

I think some of you guys might appreciate the artwork that Jed Henry is producing. Basically, he illustrates classic Nintendo characters in a Japanese ukiyo-e style.

Here is an example:

Here are some more: link (http://jedart.blogspot.com/2012/07/final-designs-going-on-sale-aug-1.html)

He has opened a kickstarter (Ukiyo-e Heroes)  (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1499165518/ukiyo-e-heroes), and he is offering digital prints starting at $40.

I especially like his Metroid and Starfox illustrations. Honestly, I am severely tempted to drop $70 on two of them.

Our living room contains equal parts Japanese art and game / movie art. These would work perfectly in there.
