Just a quick message to let you know that 2014 is happening on July 6th, 2014 in Warren, Ohio! It starts at 11 AM and ends at 5 PM, and admission is only $3, though kids under 6 years old get in for free. There are two big guests that I know about so far: Darryl Banks (co-creator of Green Lantern Kyle Rayner) and Jim Steranko (legendary artist who made Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. cool). More details are being hammered out, but there's also supposed to be a cosplay panel, too. There are more details on their Facebook page:

I'll be in artist's alley again with prints and previews of things that aren't on the Illmosis Network sites yet, so stop by my table even if you want to check out the new stuff!

This is the sequel to that classic era update from earlier this year when I posted sprites of Ms. Pac-Man and Pooka. The update is focused on games from before 1986. There are over a dozen new scratch-made sprites, an assortment that ranges from the Space Invader (the freaky monster from the arcade cabinet art) to Mr X from Kung-Fu Master (the arcade version). I also added two new backgrounds to the generators: a 3-D rendered Pac-Maze and a pixel art arcade (complete with neon lighting). Check it out the newness and let me know if you like it!

I just got a drawing assignment a bit after the ScrollBoss 12th Anniversary. There are lots of pictures to draw with a serious deadline, so I won't be very active here for about a month. Once that's done, I'll try to make special versions of the SB12th update's sprites (mostly slapping logos on) and posting them here.

I've been so busy lately that I forgot to post that I'd been busy. I'll post about that later. Right now, it's time to point you in the direction of the big 12th Anniversary update for ScrollBoss filled with pixel art.

The site news post about it:

I won't be posting everything here and a few won't be posted until I get a get a specific group together. The update includes two versions of Samus Aran in armor, Bill and Lance from Contra (arcade and NES outfits), Hawk and Boomer from Konami's Vendetta (a.k.a. Crime Fighters 2), Tyris Flare's Golden Axe fighting stance, the Lady Master of Kung Fu (that's the name of the game and you never see the character names, so...) the annoying Skeleton from Golden Axe, and enemies from Shinobi and Double Dragon. I also added ripped sprites and animations from Sunset Riders (YEEEEHOOO!), Mystic Warriors (a.k.a. Sunset Riders with ninjas) and Karate Blazers.

All of these characters were added to the Graphic Generators so you can make sprite scenes and fake screenshots with them and many have alternate palettes that I was too lazy to put in the custom sprite gallery. Here's a link to the G.G. index page:

I hope you like the new stuff and I'll be adding new sprites and art to the gallery very soon!

There have been three updates to the ScrollBoss site this week to celebrate being back in semi-regular update mode again. I just added the last one which features a huge Graphic Generator/Fake screenshot maker update and upgrade. I added a lot of KoF characters, KoF sprites to SNK & Capcom characters (and remade my KoF Billy and Jimmy Lee edits), Super Dodge Ball Kunio-Kun sprites, Darkstalker characters and some scratch-made sprites I'll be adding to my gallery here at some point. Here's the news post:

I hope this will keep people busy for a while because I have commission work to finish and a project to draw and the update will be light for a while. The important thing was to get the new GFX Generator system improvements up and working so future updates will just be added content (backgrounds, sprites, etc.).
