Art Attack Friday: GrumpyTurtle photo

Art Attack Friday is all about Destructoid's very own GrumpyTurtle today. The guy has been drawing like crazy since February and hasn't stopped yet. 

GrumpyTurtle loves taking videogame characters and throwing them into weird situations. Some examples of this include the Mario Bros. showing off their perfect bodies, a Goomba as Solid Snake, Toad wearing Princess Peach's clothes to much more. GrumpyTurtle has also done a few tributes to the staff of Destructoid which include Chad, Mr. Destructoid, Jim, Anthony and Aaron Linde. 

GrumpyTurtle started off with simple black and white pieces but he's gone back and started to color in most of his works. Be sure to check out his Flickr page as well as his Community blog to keep up with all of GrumpyTurtle's drawings.

Alot of awesome stuff there. The Toad in drag is hilarious and fitting. Also, that headliner pic has just too much win in it.

These are brilliant, the whole lot of them. The threesome one is my favorite. Who knew Peach was such trash?

Thanks so much for the front page. I never really thought I'd be featured on here, I just did it all for fun and because people seemed to like my jacked up ideas.
Also thanks to everyone who's followed my art blogs if you've commented on them or not.
I love the Destructoid community, and I'll do these silly little drawings so long as people still get a kick out of them.
Thanks all!

Fucking congrats Grumpy!

Also, the pic that I requested got the front page feature! That's too awesome! Closest I will ever get to a front page around here.

Grumpy is not only an excellent artist but a comedic master at the same time.

I dig the Gentleman Dinosaur one.

I like the multiple layers to the Peach threesome pic. A drunken night of debauchery? A planned event gone terribly wrong? Did Mega Man and Mr. Destructoid trade heads in a metaphorical sense as well? Is Peach smiling or passed out or worse? The mind boggles...

Chad, Rabbid Toad, and Drag Toad are favs

Congrats turtle and tell me if you need help coloring, cause that's the best i can do for you, since i lack Atlas's skills.

The shading on those girls' upper lip in the first pic must have taken hours.

In all sincerity, I love it. Good stuff.
