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."

Yeah, she's that awesome of an artist that I want to somehow bend the laws of nature.
Im scared too
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.
Besides that, good art.
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
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.
She's not very good at the realistic details.
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
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.
Because I do.
