Drawing 80s Game Protagonists

[olivania]

I've been doing some doodling of old characters both popular and lesser known, and I just wanted to share!! I'll consider suggestions of other characters, but for now I only have a few done.

 

[Tonberry]

These are SO fucking good, I particularly like the Megaman
Also really love the little hatching you've done around particularly the muscles, and I dig that you use purples and reds for browns, I do that all the time too, it really makes things pop.

i'm glad, it was easily the most time consuming part of any of these haha !!

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

Pretty Cool. I like that Athena she cute

 

[JPchicre]

Congratulations @olivania Your Drawing are really cool, Mega Men expression to me reads as child-like determination which i find cute and fun, Two suggestions from me would be Roll from Mega Men and Samus from Metroid.

 

[heywusuh]

That is great, really! Love the Bonk one!

 

[Advil Lavs]

Do you want a protagonist from a game that takes place in the 80s? I can give you one.

All of these look sick btw.

 

[Clippy]

Awesomesauce drawings.

 

[fake-kun]

[Nelson2001 Nelson2001]

@olivania - Veeery niiiiice!!!
Maybe... Athena seems a bit too fat, but they're very good!

What about Billy and Jimmy Lee, from Double Dragon?

I think you mean Bimmy and Jimmy

some of the artwork i found of her looks like this, and it's just how i wanted to draw her
i don't really know double dragon but i will consider it !!

 

[Morgana Veil]

Those are very awesome indeed @olivania. Love the art style. If you want some pure 80s stuff, how about Captain N the Game Master? He's about as 80s and video game related as you can get without being an actual video game character.

Make Razor from Maniac Mansion

These are great! I’m loving the Goddess Athena and Simon Belmont art.
Are you a pro or this just a hobby?

 

[Laura Zonih]

Simon Belmont looks particularly cool.
I also like seeing Athena (the original) and Bonk...

I loved that Megaman, but that Simon Belmont looks great.
