Art Attack Friday: paperlab photo

This week’s Art Attack artist is paperlab, a two man team that love muscles and manliness. Joel Estrada and Deleon Walters like to create images of videogame characters showing off their sexy muscles. But it’s not all about muscles! There’s plenty of other works of art, such as a few pieces where character are just hanging out together. My favorites being the "Dogs Playing Pokemon" piece where some of the world’s biggest videogame stars are playing Pokemans.

The Presidential race meeting Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat is another clever piece. We all know now that the Changedoken can defeat the Maverick Ball.

Check out all of paperlab’s works on their deviantART page. Also, big thanks to paperlab for bringing out my manly side again. I’ve been featuring too many cute artists lately. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go PUNCH BABIES, watch FOOTBALL and eat RAW STEAK all while riding on a PONY!

Pretty cool. I've seen a lot of highly-stylized works here, but these pictures have a lot of personality too.

That last one with Shiggy is just a little creepy though. >.>

Gannon: "Wanna see something sweet?

Good stuff, but the watermarks are buzzkillers.

not bad at all, some character renditions are a bit wonky or too disproportioned but overall, great stuff.

The various links picture was a good one. I also liked graveyard one, because of not who's on the tombstone but that it sez on them.

The watermarks made me want to headbutt my monitor. Quality stuff though.

The Birdo one is even creepier when you remember that it is in fact a gender confused man.
