Colette in Contra = Colettra?
ceark | 10:12 PM on 01.12.2008 54 comments


i actually started on an entirely different painting before this, hated it, and threw it out. it had to many random elements. so i was reading through colette's profile and saw that she could never refuse a game of contra. that seemed pretty appropriate, and upon looking up some contra artwork, i came across a few images that had this really awesome, minimalist detail grungey style that incorporated the use of real textures as surfaces being painted on. i liked it alot so i took a stab at that realm of style.

so, the fruits of my labor: colette in contra, a destructoid original in the graphic novel style of yours truly.

1080 p version available on my side bar.



oh she's using the F gun and the S gun, if you look carefully. >.> not really sure what I'll be painting next. I think i'll work on a few pages of my comic before I do another fan illustration (valkyrie or hamza. haven't really decided. i really want to paint hamza riding a phallic shark, cause that would be some funny shit).



on a side note, I finished this painting after doing a 5 hour run of rockband with a friend at work (Endless setlist on expert). that is a fucking epic setlist. christ.

@13thDragon.

He did Neiro first. Does that means he's trying to get into Niero's pants too?

Aren't we all?

He had to break the ice first, get his foot in the door, establish himself as a "legitimate arteest". Now, his true purpose is revealed!!! Dun dun duunnnnnnn

sterling in mass effect eh? I'll add that to my list. it might be awhile on that one since i haven't played an xbox game since the rrod. mr monicles surrounded by naked blue aliens would be pretty fun to draw though.

@13thDragon
I thought everyone was trying to get in colette's pants. isn't that a destructoid norm?

I'd love you forever if you drew me in either Final Fantasy 7, Persona 3, or Legend of Zelda. Though, the Dtoid staff are much more important. =P

@riomccarthy/roguetrooper

I'll put out at a vote or something (similar to the one i put out for this illustration, which got fucking buried before anyone read it cause i posted it at 2 in the morning) sometime in february/march for which destructoid non editor regular to be in an illustration. pretty much any destructee that people recognize, that have have decent available reference in cblogs shall be qualified.

13thDragon: I think most people would consider attempting to get into Colette's pants a pretty noble purpose.

Also, if there was anyone before who didn't want in Colette's pants (yeah, right!), I doubt there is now.

i'm currently a cloth, hair, and fur FX artist. I have gotten a few offers to do freelance concept work in games (but mostly job offers for FX or modeling work, and surprisingly one offer to do some character animation. which I suck at (or so I thought)). course, since I'm already employed I can't take up any of these offers.

@sharpless
you can be if you enter the contest!

@dale
that could most certainly be done except I haven't the slightest idea what dale north looks like as there are no pics of dale north floating around in you cblog. if that were remedied I could certainly add it to the list of stuff to draw. >.>
