A Double Fine Production Indeed.

Robduenas

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?
