Samus - Smash Bros. Playoff

Smash Bros. (on 64 and WiiU) is a part of life here at @yikyak HQ. Last week we had a tournament. I didn’t do well. I don’t want to talk about it. Samus is my all-time favorite character to play with so I thought it would be neat to try my hand at illustrating with an homage to her.

I also thought it would be fun to ask a few of my fellow pixel pushers to pay similar tribute to their favorite Smash Bros. characters. So, I’m going to enclose the roll call here but if you want to join in, by all means please do… @Nick Slater I finished it =o)

@Daniel Haire - Pikachu
@Bryan Lewis - Samus
@Casey Labatt-Simon - Kirby
@Alex Torres - Mr. Game & Watch
Kevin Yang - Fox
@Trey Ingram- Bowser
Anthony Albritton - Jiggly Puff
@Kristie Joy Feltner - Yoshi
@Roy Handy - Meta Knight

Oh one last thing, I attached a screenshot of the illustrator file I created the original illustration elements with. It has reference images in there and everything. I did a crap ton of stuff to this thing in PS including some fun with color I’ve never done before courtesy of this @JustinMezzell/how-i-work-with-color-8439c98ae5ed#.ipug7q79j" rel="nofollow noreferrer"> amazingly insightful medium post from @Justin Mezzell. Thanks for sharing this with us man
