Do You Still BRAWL ?by =Hugo-H2P

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Illustrations / Conceptual

Frickin F#ckin Hell Yeah!

Took me about 100 hours (2h+ for each of the characters), span through a week, and over 670 layers (yeah, I'm a Layer Freak, deal with it) to get this done T_T
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Check out the WIP shots gif: [link]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

But I'm reeeeeeeeeally pleased, actually flabbergasted (he, I love this word) with the result!
I tried to put as many details as possible. Actually, scratch that. I've put every detail of the characters in their SSBB looks.

It was a quite great experience. I've dealt with lots of different materials (from DK's fur and Power Suit's metal, to Wolf glove's rubber and Bowser's shell and spikes). Learned a lot with this piece.

I also used many special effects here and there that weren't at the actual sketch. Yeah, I like to show off.

And last but not least, can someone tell Toon Link that Falco is not a Cucco?...

Updated
EDITS: Fixed pikachu's head and overall proportions. Increased his eyes a bit.
Fixed the line on the sky that was right above squirtle's head.
Changed a bit Peach's expression and did the same to samusl, as was suggested by some critiquers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update 2:
Okay, this one was bigger than the last. Edited the positioning of all the guys on the top, which means I had to re-color Ganondorf, since I flipped him.
Edited Charizard's jaw, Squirtle's eyes, and the pokemons (including Jigglypuff) and ROB's proportion (according to the rest of the characters on the back).
Also changed Pikachu's head a bit more (Thanks God for making the liquify function) and it finally pleases me.
AND... There he is! Ness is finaly facing forward!
Hope ya all like the changes

This is just an epic work of art and, in my eyes, a perfect representation of the atmosphere in the world of Brawl. Each character has been designed very carefully to match their appearances in the game itself, and the unique qualities they each possess and present in each battle. In addition, with your own style you give each character more emotion, show the viewers the large amount of passion that each fighter has to become the best Brawler in the Smash Bros. universe, and give everyone the chance to see that the Brawlers are looking into the future and expecting greater battles ahead. I personally love how you have placed Captain Falcon and Ganondorf at a perfect diagonal distance from one another. To me, this stands out because in Melee they were "twins" in terms of fighting style, yet polar opposites in terms of personalities and morals, like light versus shadow. Finally, your use of multiple layers demonstrates your determination to present a beautiful masterpiece, which is represented in the Brawlers' expressions and poses. Truly an astronomical work of art! Keep up the good work!

Where to begin? Brawl is one of my favorite games of all time. This picture captures every aspect of it.

Technique is very well done; the lines are very smooth, the coloring and shading is respectively done well for each character, making them come alive, and the background really helps the characters pop out even more. Everything is done near to perfection.

The expression of each character is done correctly, viewing how serious each one really is, like Luigi being shy, or King Dedede ready to rumble. The majority being very serious.

The picture has a lasting impact as well, seeing so may people like Brawl, they will not only like this piece of art, they will also enjoy seeing their favorite character being portrayed correctly.

The only thing I take is half a star for originality, seeing how it is from a game, but I can understand because I'm a fan artist myself, but everything else helps adds that little spice to it.

All in all, this picture makes me love Brawl even more, and helps me remember how good it will always be. People should take the time to appreciate pieces of art like this.
