My Pixeljunk Eden Painting
Primo | 11:03 PM on 04.01.2009 24 comments


Normally, I'm not a fan of replicating another artist's work or style, but the world that Baiyon presents in Pixeljunk Eden is phenomenal. Eden is my favorite PSN game and the visuals (not to mention the music) remain in my head long after I put down the controller.



Oils on canvas

I tried to keep the painting really simple. I have a tendency to clutter the entire canvas, so I decided to stop before I went overboard.



Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the painting. I decided to do the background in a little bit different style than the game in order to add a little bit of my style to it. The only thing that I might change is that it looks like there are pubes floating around in the bottom left corner of the painting.

Might have been better if you did it on adobe illustrator :p

Can't complain though, it is after all pretty cool!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you guys like how it turned out.

@Yojimbo - I'll send you a painting sometime brother! I have a ton of canvas and I have no idea what to do with all of it.

I'm holding you to that!!
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
Incredible. When I get more money I'd easily buy one from you.

How much do you charge, and where do you live (IE how far would you have to ship it)? Feel free to PM me.

Sweet!
Funksy's Destructoid Blog
Don't send that shit to Y0j1mb0! Send it to me. Who's Y0j1mb0 anyway? (just kidding)

Seriously though, it looks rad.
Corican's Destructoid Blog
That's really awesome. I'd love one.
Clance's Destructoid Blog
Lovely work, Primo.

I can almost see it blowing and billowing about like in-game.

Superb.
falinter's Destructoid Blog
This is what I call high art.

Awesome.
Primo's Destructoid Blog
Wow it's really awesome that you guys have similar reactions to the painting. I was trying to capture and convey what I felt when I play the game!

@Magnalon- I wouldn't even know what to charge. I usually paint stuff and either give it away or hang it up on my walls.
fetusmilk's Destructoid Blog
VERY nice. i was thinking of doing something like this but figured it would have been done to death. but i think yours is the only one ive seen so far.
Qalamari's Destructoid Blog
That's a great piece, I really like how you inverted the color scheme... the black silhouette really pops against the carmine background. Nice job!
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
Send me a PM of where you live, and I'll get a shipping charge quote :D
dip's Destructoid Blog

Wow, I want that on my wall. Awesome work.

I'm a little late here, but that is a beautiful painting! Great job, man!

The blog header made me LOL as well. One can never get enough JCVD.
