I bought Anime Studio Debut 10 a little while ago and I’ve spent the past week messing around with short pixel art clips. I decided to throw a few of them together for an intro mock-up with some incomplete music from 2013 and a Blender-rendered animation I did years ago. The timing is janky in a lot of spots, but I was more interested in how it looks. I’ve got some weird ideas for 2015 and this is just a test.
Action Comics #1 was published on this date in 1938, so I finally made a few more Superman Battle Hover sprites. Today’s variations are Action Comics #1 Superman, Sunshine Superman and the Superman from the “Universe of Evil” episode of the Superfriends cartoon. Basically, anything to avoid making a sprite of the Sentry. They’re in the GFX Generators and the Battle Hover gallery.
VGJunk just turned five years old this week and celebrated with a review of Captain Commando. Check it out if you haven’t already and follow the VG Junk Tumblr for bonus fun.
Artist, video game appreciator, action flick connoisseur and all-around cool cat Rusty Shackles also celebrated the anniversary of being alive and I’ll use this opportunity to plug his website and the Insert Quarter Bin Tumblr filled with video game/comic book mash-up that are actually funny and awesome.
There’s a Flash Sale in the Playstation Store this weekend and you’ll find popular gems like Hotline Miami and Retro City Rampage there alongside two personal favorites of mine: Double Dragon Neon (by WayForward) and Anarchy Reigns (by Platinum Games). The PS3 version of DD Neon lacks online multiplayer, but that didn’t stop me from loving the hell out of playing it.
