Art Attack Friday: Mikey photo

You all knew this was coming. Art Attack Friday is all about Dtoider Mikey today. He’s become a fan favorite in the Community Blogs due to his fantastic art and we just promoted his latest work to the front page.

For the past few weeks, Mikey has been holding a contest with each new piece he puts up. Users have 24 hours to leave a comment telling what Mikey should draw next. The winner is chosen randomly and you won’t find out who has won until the next comic has gone up. The results have been pretty funny, especially the Mr. Destructoid looking ashamed wearing Link's clothes one.

Mikey is pretty good at Photoshop and cosplaying as well. The real-world Shadow of the Colossus 'shoop is pretty epic, and he made one of the best Bowser costumes I’ve ever seen.

Check out the gallery above and his deviantART for more of Mikey’s artwork.

I would definitely throw it to Mikey, if he'd let me. :(

Mikey is awesome, and I'm surprised it took this long for him to get front-page-ified. As for suggestions, I guess we put them right here? How 'bout a drawing depicting a bar room brawl, with only Castlevania characters. Dracula from CV: SotN on the piano in the corner and Soma and Eric fighting with beer bottles and chairs would be hilarious.

You guys need to work something out with Mikey. I'd totally buy a t-shirt or something with the Destructoid dressed as Link design on it. He's my new favorite artist. Nay, my new favorite human being.

To be completely honest- I just wanna see how this ends. Like, I'd TOTALLY buy a print of this thing, or a comic book. I'm so interested in what happens next.

Finish it! :D
