Mighty Morpheon Mod’s
Metroid Prime
For a time Morpheon Mod’s custom consoles were pretty big news among gaming blogs. Unfortunately things have fallen silent on their website but it remains up as a tribute to their past work (The final post, dated December 2008 states a number of on going private projects).
Originally this was going to be a post on custom Wii’s but I soon realized that Morpheon Mods had enough for it’s own post (as well as 10 more I’m sure). Please see after the jump for an entire run down.
A Double Fine Production Indeed.
San Diego Comic Artist, Fusion Publishing’s Chief Illustrator, and fellow Tim Schafer fan Rob recently completed this amazing Psychonauts piece. Rob tells me that you will be able to catch his work, as well as a tribute to Tim Schafer in PLAY’s May 09′ issue. Tim actually saw Rob’s work in an upcoming Death Jr. novel and gave him his blessing (Much like a scene out of the godfather I assume. Alas, perhaps if I were better at photoshop we would be looking at a Tim Schafer/ Don Vito Corleone mashup right now).
The equally impressive coloring on the piece was carried out by Diego Rodriguez – to see more from Rob & Diego please check out the upcoming Death Jr. Novel as well as Monstroids, an upcoming series created and written by Kevin Grevioux (Underworld). Artwork for which is available on DeviantArt now.
I wonder why LucasArts / Tim Schafer games are such an inspiration for this kind of thing? I myself am starting a pair of Grim Fandango converse, fond memories perhaps? Will the upcoming Brutal Legend have the same impact?
The Work of Orioto.
Sonic The Hedgehog.
I can only assume French artist Orioto and myself are roughly the same age as his work covers all the games that were big in my childhood, we have Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus, Mario, Metroid Prime, Ecco the Dolphin – all the classics are there.
I’m continuously impressed with what people can do with computers. I still flesh out my ideas old school pencil and paper style. for more of Orioto’s work please visit his DeviantArt page Here
Someone needs to get hold of SEGA, if you guys can’t leave poor Sonic alone, than THIS is how I need my Sonic remakes to look. Continue reading to see more of his work.
