Artist's Comments

Hello!

Yay, this one is on time and with a couple of hours to spare! Who would have thought?!

Representing day #12 of October, Villain Month, I give you Raphael the Raven of Yoshi's Island fame, as he appears after you make him angry by ramming a pole into his bum (basically) by using your but stomp.

This is a pretty accurate representation of this boss battle, down to the star placement, since it was referenced from a screenshot I took back when I used to play games on emulators (I don't do that so often anymore). This boss battle, while not particularly difficult, was really unique in that the stage you fought on was that tiny little ball. You and Raphael could run all around the ball and never fall off, almost as if this very battle was the precursor to Super Mario Galaxy. When fighting Raphael, it was easy to get dizzy because as you ran, the background would move causing everything to turn upside-down. It's difficult to explain, so go find a copy of this game somehow and get to this boss battle so you can experience it!

Yoshi's Island is a beautiful game that really stands the test of time in sprite animation and art style, so much so that the sequel found on the DS looks almost exactly the same. By the way, the DS game is really hard and I've never actually managed to beat it yet, so if you're looking for a challenge, be sure to pick that one up.

Anyway, I hope you like it and I'll see you tomorrow with another villain!

Adobe Photoshop CS, about 45 minutes total.

Getting right bored of my signature. I think the people I'm around get the idea that I support gays and abused children.

So. Something new for down here. Hmm.
:iconfreakshow6:
Thanks! The goonie bird constellation was actually in the background of the boss battle, so it seemed only natural to include it here, as well.

OH. MY. GOD.

This was the first game I ever owned, and, truthfully, probably still my favorite to play. Raphael scared the 6 year old shit out of me, but it was such a fun (and dizzying!) challenge.

This is fantastic, and, like, 5 million points for doing the only Raphael fanart I've ever seen. You even have the goonie constellation :D

YES!

I'm really glad you like it! Yoshi's Island is a fantastic game, and the fact that it was the first one you owned means you started out with great taste. ;D
