PC-engine art 'N mash-up
« on: November 01, 2011, 08:30:40 AM »
Reaching out to the community here. I'll give you the sweet and short of my idea. Forum mods, please let me know where would be the best place to put this post at, if its not here. :)

The pitch:
I'd like you to help me come up with some PC-engine/Turbografx inspired art that can be printed on a t-shirt. Think teefury and riptapparel, http://www.the-king-of-games.com etc, etc, etc..

Any and all ideas are welcomed, straight character/set piece illustrations,abstract concepts, logos, mash-ups. My goal is to have the community pick one or two ideas and making them a reality.

Since this is my idea I would do the art, post concept roughs and have you all vote on them. The end result would be a vector graphic that would be free to all members of the forum. I don't want nor plan on selling the final product to any t-shirt place either.

Why am I doing this? simple, I need the practice. In real life I'm a corporate web/software graphics UI guy, and I'm dying to get more creative work done. Thing is I'm tapped, my creative well needs refilling and I believe it is only by sharing ideas with other that we fill that well up; and from personal experience I work better when I have to "deliver" and have a goal to get my ass in gear.

any takers? 

and if more artist want to tackle this by themselves or together, even better.

It should have all of the important PCE characters flying out of an explosion, high fiving each other, with dead Mario characters in the rubble.

Maybe one of them should be holding blue hair too.

This could totally work on the mash-up side. White box with a whip, kicking some undead, vampire ass!

HAHAH makes me think of the GI Joe intro back in the day. Second season I think, with the cobra ship. 

So we can make the pc-engine ship the star destroyer and on its sides all the Gunhed, *.Blade, salamander and other shmup single ships escorting it out of the explosion.

Lets talk some ideas. I think this can be tons of fun.


Arkhan: I've got some doodles on this, need some help with the characters that will be riding the PC-engine ship. Rick shall be wearing blue spiky caps. Tastefully done of course.

Personally I would like to see a reprint of the t-shirts in the turbo gear catalog.

In all seriousness, a simple understated design with the PC Engine logo or TG16 logo would probably be one I'd actually wear...
