Art Attack Friday: ChemicalAlia

Art Attack Friday: ChemicalAlia photo
     Art Attack Friday
ChemicalAlia knows no limitations when it comes to the dimension and iteration of her fan art. Ranging from high-color bubbly renditions of Mario characters to the curious pursuit of injecting Knuckles in an homage to Caravaggio's Bacchus, she explores game characters both within their respective worlds as well as outside of them. This pursuit births such lovely pieces such as Steamboat Iggy as well as an attempt at a Gears of War comic spin-off called Gardeners of War. Who woulda thunk?

Aside from the wide variety of subject matter, ChemicalAlia has the artistic flexibility to change and combine illustrative styles with painterly ones, allotting her a great spread of different and original pieces. You can find her larger body of work on her DeviantArt gallery or check out her contributions within The Koopatorivm, a site that describes itself as the "unholy archive of Mario Bros.-related news and multimedia."

Seeing a nipple on Sonic is... I can't even say how it feels.

These are fucking fantastic, Tiff. I love the one with Marcus Fenix chainsawing a ham, the header image, the Knuckles one...hell, they’re all made of win!

The TF2 stuff is awesome, especially since they actually drew the levels properly too!

I'll tell you what worries me, He cut Sonic in half with the non-chainsaw part of the gun.

Yeah, she's that awesome of an artist that I want to somehow bend the laws of nature.

ok I fail to see whats so special about this one..... the ONE picture that had discernible talent is the bacchus parody(not carvaggio, jesus take an art history class) and its inspired by a troll..... yawn

@Video_Cognito
Knuckles?

@SenorCalavera
Its a character from the sonic comic book(which aint all that great btw)

@FuriousGeorge
Ouch, harsh much?(trolling?). I'd have to say this is at least on par (if not better) with most of the art attacks I've seen.

wow! I wish I could draw like that. My TF2 drawings look terrible.

Holy shit. o.o

I love how she can do a sort of exaggerated cartoony style with her work, and then pull out something like that Rosalina portrait as well. Very talented.

It's hard to pick a favorite: the Portal one, the TF2 characters, Super Paper Mario, and the Koopa Kids are all really awesome. However, the best one has to be Marcus Fenix cutting the ham. That made me giggle like crazy. xD

I had forgotten how awesome King Boo and the Koopalings were. They really need to be brought back.

Hmm. While I think the inspiration and ideas behind the pieces are awesome, I just don't like the art style. Too much stuff is out of proportion or just not drawn at the right angle to make it look "right."

Also, that doesn't look like Knuckles at All. It looks like a red Sonic. Look at the hands!

The only reason these don't outright fail is because Marcus Fenix carving a turkey and the doctor fighting the spy are the purest of win.

Umm, the chainsaw gun is going the wrong way... if he's cutting sonic in half by swinging to the left, then that means the cut was done by the barrel not the chainsaw...

She's not very good at the realistic details.

@ratcliff

seriously i share your outrage! if youre going to animate an ex-con, drafted into a post apocalyptic war against aliens, that has a chainsaw armed gun, atleast make him cut an animorphic blue hedgehog in half with one swipe correctly to sustain the realism of it all...geez

Her Gears of Wars stuff is great. Well, so is the rest of it, but I dig those the most. Good stuff.

@Hoss

You can have a unrealistic setting with unrealistic characters and still follow the rules in Art 101. Sure it's a fake character, with a fake setting, but the laws of physics still apply.

I'm just saying that just because her art has a videogame flavor doesn't make it automatically awesome. And frankly, a little criticism can make someone a better artist.

Not exactly my style, but there are some nice concepts there. I'd love to see stuff by this artist in a year or two after they've honed their craft a bit. Some good potential here...

I'd like to see Kirby get cut in half too... I bet he'd just explode with pink goo.

That is the most disturbingly cute picture I've seen in a while.
