Art Attack Friday: CytosisX photo

Last week on Art Attack Friday, we featured the Out of Controller exhibit, featuring the works of various artists all done in different mediums. Today, we go back to showcasing one artist’s artwork with CytosisX. 

CytosisX, like many dA artists in that he likes to draw Nintendo characters. Most notable from his art collection is the Mega Man bosses series, which are some of the best Mega Man boss pieces I’ve seen yet.

The one you all may have already seen is the Super Smash Bros Onslaught (above) that made the rounds during the Brawl hype. It features various Brawl fighters, as well as some characters that would make a great addition in the Smash games. The 468 wide image doesn’t do the piece justice so you should definitely check out full piece over on CytosisX’s deviantART page.

My personal favorite is the Blooper piece. Bloopers don’t get too much attention, sadly Which ones do you like from this week’s collection? Hit up CytosisX’s deviant page or his Blogspot page for more of his work.

If you’d like to be featured on Art Attack Friday or want to suggest someone’s art, then please drop me a line at ctz@destructoid.com.

[Update: Many of the pieces in the gallery are collabs with other artists. For the full list, check out CytosisX's blog!]

I like Link and Squall. Travis looks funny as a cartoon too.

I love that first one. Not sure what the Shroom Shake and the race flag are doing there, but Bloobers are (in my biased opinion) sorely underrepresented in most fan art. =D

CytosisX didn't actually create many of the pictures in this gallery. The artist behind many of these pieces (in particular the Megaman boss busts) is in fact Dan Schoening (http://traditionaldanimatio.deviantart.com)Cytosis merely coloured them.

Additionally, Dan also has two large pieces, Maro Bros and Zelda respectively, in precisely the same vein as the featured Smash Bros piece: the major difference being he created them over a year earlier.

I'm glad dzr has pointed out that a lot of the pieces are collaborations, this is true and I don't hide it at all. Please see my journal at http://cytosisx.deviantart.com/journal/22913464/ for a list of collabs featured in this gallery.

Hamza... you used that photo deliberately so I couldn't effectively reproduce it with the majesty of MS Paint. Or so the conspiracy goes...

Still a nice set of work aside the collaborations.
