I haven't painted much in the past few years. It used to be a passion of mine, but I totally left it behind. It was impossible for me to do anything that I was happy with. I thought I'd try a new style, and I went with the old school, NES, 8 bit style. I'm a big Mega Man fan, and he seemed like a good choice. Here's a video of the progress. You know I had to make a video, that's what I do.
I'm more than happy to hear what you guys think, I'll even try and take some 8 bit requests.
Thanks for watching. <3
If the painting sparked your interest and you don't usually check out my stuff, check out the recent episode of A Conversation With Corey in my sig. I share my podcast here as well.

Wow, looks amazing man. Not bad at all, find inspiration and tips and keep at it.
Loved the work. I would kill to see some artwork of Donte from DMC. Might be too difficult. Anything that you would like, loved the work.

Very impressive! Love the background touch you did, it fit in nicely with the 8-bit.. It's a shame you gave it up for a while tho, but I understand that feeling of nothing is ever good enough. I have a decent set of skills with drawing. Comic style, cartoon style, I was pretty good with a pencil. It just got to the point where anything I started I wouldn't even get half way through and I'd just toss it, couldn't stand it.. I started doing that somewhere in high school up to the point of me just not doing anymore. I would hate myself so much!
I always try to start up again, I guess I gotta force myself over the hump of "it's not sh*t, work harder".. Because I literally haven't finished a drawing in over 2 years.. And before that, over 4 years..
The artist struggle is real man!

And before that, over 4 years.. The artist struggle is real man! The artist struggle is real for sure. Here's my bit of advice as far as trying to get back into it. I had the idea of trying an 8 bit painting, and at the first step, I was like, "If I can actually pull this off..." At the second step, "Hey, this is kind of coming together..." You know what I mean? I couldn't wait to finish it just to see how I had done in the end. If you get 10 minutes in and you hate it, throw it away. You're not back yet. You'll find that thing that really draws you back in and you'll know it when it happens. Thanks for the comment, man. I'd like to see some of your drawings. |

Awesome Valo! You know I've always been a fan of your work and this is no different. Mega Man and Bomberman were 2 of my favorites growing up. I love the 8 bit style with your backround. Great job and can't wait to see more.
