Quick Ship Designs for a Shmup (shoot-em-up) game I worked on a while ago...
The artists I work with...in sprites!

Arcade Art: Geometry Wars - retro arcade side-art

This ones for a dedicated Geometry Wars cabinet that I was commissioned for. My customer wanted a retro-look, reminiscent of Tempest, Xevious, and Gravitar artwork.

And here's the finished cabinet in action!

Yes, that is a Grizzly riding a Rhino.


Arcade Art: The Big Lebowski and friends


Arcade Art: Galaga Tribute


Arcade Art: DK and Pac-man's Pact.


Arcade Art: Major Havok from the front!

Created this for a KLOV member who converted an Atari 720° arcade cabinet to Major Havok . The marquee originally featured the main character running away from the audience, but he wanted to have him drawn from the front view. Most of all the previous artwork is drawn of him from behind.

The end result:


The cabinet was beautifully converted, and is pretty awesome to see Major Havoc running on a larger (25") vector monitor.

Arcade art: Robotron Study


Arcade Art: Pac-man's pack!


Blanka study


Bright Shmup Boss-heads!

Hey I started a blog!

Yup, no avoiding it now.  Gotta have a place to put artwork, animation, arcade and gaming related stuff...
