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.

 

[RetroNerdPikachu_15]

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]

I also like seeing Athena (the original) and Bonk...
