Art Attack Friday: brandokay

8:46 PM on 01.04.2008, Hamza CTZ Aziz 29 comments

     Art Attack Friday

Brandokay became a sensation early last year for his epic Mog of War piece. Who would have thought that a cute little Mog could become such a badass. After all that time staying hidden away in my 3,000 plus bookmark list (yes, really. I'm a digital pack rat), it's finally time for Brandokays other epic pieces to be shown off.

Where to begin though? All of his pieces are just amazing. My favorite of the bunch has to be the montage of all the music/rhythm videogame characters. Could you just imagine how epic it would be to be at a concert such as this?The Yoshi Island picture of giant baby Bowser is great too.I also really like how the pieces are cartoony, yet still stay true to the original designs of the character.

Be sure to check out the rest of brandokays stuff on his Deviant as well as his own site where he has a few comic strips as well a few little films.

All of those are fantastic. The best part is K.K. playing a GH guitar in the corner of the music montage ^_^ Mog of War, Kingdom Karts, and Petey & Big are all epic, epic win.

I'd play Kingdom Hearts. And anyone who appreciates Geno is a friend o' mine.

This stuff kicks ass. The Prince/Silver Surfer mash up is particularly awesome. I never realized how much those two had in common.

Weird that there are no Rhythm Tengoku characters on the top image. If Brandokay is reading this, email me if you have not yet played Rhythm Tengoku, cause that aint right.

Art Attack Friday is one of my favorite times of the week! Thanks for picking yet another epic artist that I can add to my list of hoping to be as epic as them one day. =P

To hell with PaRappa and UmJammer .. damn they were TERRIBLE games.

Love the fact that Gitaroo Man got a mention though. Such an underrated game but so much fun. Played a dream on PSP as well.

That Petey and Big picture made me lol. It also brought back awful memories of "Froggy" hunting on the Dreamcast....

While he technically was never a playable character, I'm loving DJ Professor K in that picture.

Hahaha! Big the Cat. How I despise you...

And why has nobody commented on the Wind Waker drawing? God I love the visual style of that game. And Makar is awesome!

I also liked the Geno, Kingdom Karts, Yoshi's Island, Katamari, and Rocket Knight pieces.
