Project: Thank You Sakurai! Calling All Smash Fans and Artists! Under New Ownership!

[WindozeNT]

yeah, from how it looks so far, my portrait of G&W really sucks.

 

[Hotfeet444]

I have no ideas of who to do next...what characters haven't been drawn yet? Hopefully the upcoming drawing won't be overshadowed like my Ganondorf picture.

I don't know, maybe wait until an idea pops into your head... I'm just excited to see so many good artists sharing their work!

...how exactly do you screw up G&W?
now just watch, my G&W kirby will take many attempts to look good XP
but in all seriousness, keep trying- i have faith that you can do it!!!

and speaking of my kirbys, which ones would you peoples out there like me to include?

 

[Radical Bones]

I'll be a signer under Radical Beam! This is an excellent idea. I'm not a good artist but if I get bored on my day off tomorrow I'll give something a go...

 

[PixelPasta]

I fully support this idea!

I thought I might as well pull up some art I've been doing of the currently revealed characters. First up, Villager!

This thread has given me motivation to finish my Olimar drawing, so I'll also post that one eventually.

 

[PowerOfAllDragons]

Changing my mind. Not going to sign. However, I'll support it.

 

[Gunla]

I'll need to redo Ness, but for now...
Sig:

Rosalina: Went with a bit of a noir-esque style with this one. And for my actual (seriously, ACTUAL) first time sketching Rosalina, it's adequate for my standards.

Spoiler

Now as to what to do next...

 

[Korporal K. Reep]

Great idea, add me as a non-signer please

 

[liets]

okaay so my drawing is going well for the small small amount of time i have, finished link kirby and started on the samus one. same question as before: suggestions? anybody? please??

 

[Anomilus]

This seems to happen to me more often than not. I decide to do something, I get a little bit into it... and before I know it...

...Well here.

Spoiler

Without a doubt my most ambitious drawing... ever. I outdid myself. Of course using 3D Colors! on the 3DS helps. But it came out darn good. And it also made me realize how little I know about drawing proper lighting.

Anyhoo obviously this is my official volunteering as an artist and my Meta Knight entry. I'll also provide a signing at some point.

Nice job, it looks great!

 

[Vkrm]

I'll be astounded if this project amounts to anything.

 

[APC99]

I'll be astounded if this project amounts to anything.

Seriously?

We may not be the best artists, or the best gamers, or whatever, but we're actually showing we care and support this man who's so dedicated to his work, that with two extreme arm injuries, he's STILL developing the game daily. We want to thank him for all of his work. And with so many people showing their love (nearly 300 posts in less than 4 days) for this man, I think that the community is actually shining through.

 

[KaBlamJamDan]

I'm currently working on the art for this project.

I'm planning on drawing the characters in the 64 art style:

Right now, I'm working on Ness.

I'll be astounded if this project amounts to anything.

Jeez, downer much?

 

[Khao]

I'll be astounded if this project amounts to anything.

Worst case scenario, we had fun.

No biggie.

 

[Korporal K. Reep]

I originally wasn't going to make a drawing... but whatever, here's DK.

[Pacack]

I do have a small idea for the card - if you're up to hear it.

Do tell!

I'm now signing this, Pacack.

Signing as in signature, yes?

Changing my mind. Not going to sign. However, I'll support it.

I'll put you down in the non-signing list.

yeah, from how it looks so far, my portrait of G&W really sucks.

Oh, come on. It can't be that bad. (Besides, you'll be the first G&W on this thread)

I'll be a signer under Radical Beam! This is an excellent idea. I'm not a good artist but if I get bored on my day off tomorrow I'll give something a go...

I'll add you as just a signer for now. Tell me if that needs to change :D

I fully support this idea!

Signing or non-signing? I'll add your art to the gallery momentarily.

Got the signature and adding Rosalina to the gallery. If you need ideas, look at the very bottom of this post.

Great idea, add me as a non-signer please

Gladly!

Spoiler

I'll add it to the gallery. I'm assuming you still want to be a non-signer. Tell me if I'm wrong.

I'd be honored to have your Meta Knight in my gallery. I'll also add you as an artist and signer.

[Marthmario]

I'll sign on board

 

[PixelPasta]

Signing or non-signing? I'll add your art to the gallery momentarily.

I'll sign it. In fact, my signature is on the image itself.

 

[Networker1]

Here is an early stage Samus, I still need to add lighting effects though.

Edit: @AndreaAC, could I Illustrate your sketch of Samus? Yours is much better than the one I drew.

 

[JamesDNaux]

I guess I'll be the first Snake, just finished this so I thought I'd share it here. Gotta let Sakurai know we want him back!

 

[Pacack]

I'm assuming that means signature. I'll put you down.

Great! Could you provide a larger image than the one on that image, though? It's a bit small for my needs.

I'm sorry to say that, right now at least, it doesn't look like Snake's high enough on the poll. I'll add it to the gallery anyways, but don't be surprised if we don't even have a round for Snake.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Sign me up for signature please, under the same name.

Also, I vote for R.O.B. to be included on the card.

If you vote in the poll, I'll see it, so be sure to vote there (it's in the OP if you can't find it). I'll add you asap!

 

[TheSmasher916]

Put me on the signatures as my current username. I really hope this pulls through, I'm sure Sakurai would appreciate it.

 

[Pacack]

Will do!

Also, does anyone know how to edit the thread title? I want to inform everyone that voting will be closed at the end of this week.

 

[Khao]

Hey, that Mega Man drawing I did earlier? I added some colors to it:

Spoiler

Should probably have done Dedede first like I said, but oh well, already did so and I guess there's no going back now. =P

Will probably do Dedede tomorrow, if not, then the day after.

 

[SuperBrawler]

Will do!

Go to "thread options"

 

[andalsoandy]

I support.

Took the poll too.

 

[Fire Emblemier]

As of right now, I'm a non-signing supporter since, at the moment, I don't have scanner to provide a photo. I still do support, though.

Would you like me to add this one separately to the gallery or would you rather I replace the old one?

I support.

Took the poll too.

Thanks a bunch! Will that be signing or non-signing?

I'll be sure to have that down. Tell me if that changes.

(Also, for anyone wondering what my own signature looks like, here are my initials.)

 

[KenboCalrissian]

I want to vote for R.O.B., Bandana Waddle-Dee, and Eggplant Wizard, but it looks like your polling site is trying to sign me up for junk mail so I probably closed out of it before finishing. So, I'm going to vote via write-in.

Do you have a deadline for the art contest? My g/f would probably be really interested in that phase.

 

[Glaciacott]

I love this idea. Put me down for a signature, although it'll just be the internet alias.

I'll see about getting some Kid Icarus artwork at some point. This is definitely the push I needed to get on that.
Also, for reference to those who haven't voted for Kid Icarus drawings, I believe Dark Pit is one of his favorite characters. Should definitely be in this, imo.

If you went through the first page, then it counted. The sign-in thing at the end is completely optional.

The art part of the contest will be starting a bit after the polling finishes, and each character will have about a week of voting done on them. As long as she doesn't choose a character that's going first (and I can move around the schedule if she does ) then there's more than enough time.

Dark Pit is actually surprisingly high. Here's a list of characters that will likely be included in the card from the Kid Icarus franchise:

Palutena: 87
Viridi: 43
Magnus: 22
Dark Pit: 32
Medusa: 24
Hades: 41
Eggplant Wizard: 29

 

[Nikes]

I'd like to sign up as an artist, when's the deadline for submissions?

 

[Pacack]

I'd like to sign up as an artist, when's the deadline for submissions?

When the contest for that particular character starts (anywhere from like 2.5 weeks to months from now). If you need more time, I can push a certain character back for you. Just PM me if you're falling behind the schedule.

Would you like to sign as well?

 

[Swift Fox]

I'm genuinely surprised that Lucario isn't even in borderline... He fit in as Smash fighter pretty well. What the heck?

 

[Hippopotasauce]

Can I draw a picture with multiple characters in it?

 

[Neo Zero]

Sign me up for signature, though ill have to upload the scan on the weekend if that's all right.
