[Pico sketches]

Very funny sketches with a great, detailed description as well!

What do you think about Pico's School?

ShangXian responds:

Heheheheh, thank you. Considering that many of the styles used are not mine, it was right to mention and promote some stuff (and keep track of games I want to replay over and over).

What do I think about it? Well, I LOVE IT. It's a game I discovered the evening I was painting my first Homer for the Great Homer Collab on August 17th (https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/shangxian/woo-hoo-homer-collab). It was hot as hell, my AC was broken so we had to rely on fans scattered across the house. I opened my window and let "fresh" air come in along with the fan, I then went to the kitchen to paint there while enjoying a bit of fresh air from the fan. I knew about this Pico character in the previous months (even though I think to have seen him some years ago when I still thought of NG as "that flash games and movies website"), but only that evening I decided to play the game.

Initially I lost every time during Cassandra's boss fight because I didn't realize I had to hit her/him right in the eyes to avoid "laser" attack. Despite this I enjoyed the game a lot and I wanted to examine in depth the lore and characters. The more I discovered about them, the more I liked them and despite the game was made with a very edgy vibe around it, especially if you considered it came some months after the Columbine massacre, I found Pico, as character, tragic with what he had to endure thanks to Cassandra and the alien species that is after him.

Plus the game made me want to deepen my knowledge about Philadelphia (the city where Pico lives) and I love when artistic products make me want to expand my knowledge in different areas. So yeah, GO PICO YEAH!

[Bzzztwave [Bzzzt Art Contest]]

Great colours! And amazing background!

ShangXian responds:

Bg was the part I loved the most to do and I think I will use GIMP to make them and look like that in order to achieve what I want. It doesn't mean I will never use Krita for a vaporwave bg, but with GIMP I can achieve better results.

Thanks, that 'lil robot it's too adorable and I don't care if he was the most chosen character, he's too adorable to not be drawn.

[Pathological Facade]

Amazing to see them so happy!

TomaFokio responds:

Despite the failures, I will strive for the best!

Great design!

[Castle Crashers - Conehead]

Castle Crashers is awesome! The conehead is great, and I also like the delightful work on the texture and shape.

@larrynachos, what do you think Castle Crashers?

larrynachos responds:

I played the crap out of castle crashers on the 360 as a kid. It and Eddsworld were what introduced me to Newgrounds. I remember being surprised that the soundtrack was comprised of tracks from the community. I think that was my dream for a long time, to make a song featured in a behemoth game like that. Castle crashers 2 when???
