Giving back to giant bomb crew with art..Pt.2

So about a year ago i posted some artwork that i did for Giant Bomb on the forums here, and eventually i got around to emailing it to them. Had some back and forth with Vinny, but never got them a printed version. So on and off over this year I've been working on making it better, while also finding a way to include Patrick in it. I also decided to try to make it into a poster sized version and hopefully make it more interesting to look at. After the holidays I'm going to get it printed and ship it to them so they can hang it, or use it as kindling after the apocalypse. So baring any last minute changes i might make, this is the final version of it. I really hope you guys like it. Thanks and happy holidays.

Patrick is my favourite part because he is basically a dastardly Kurt Russell.

so rad

Love Vinny's look

*makes radical hand sign*

Whoa, this is cool. Good job!

I know it's supposed to be Brad because of the space marine body armour, but his face looks just like Vinny's face to me. Also, not a fan of the deformed look on their bodies. That said I can still see the skill that went into it so good job.

awesome stuff duder!

It's kind of terrifying isn't it?

This is really awesome stuff, especially Vinny's arms.

great stuff dude!

I had some trouble telling who was who (mainly because Vinny has black hair, not brown), but overall it's freakin' awesome.

Brad in the Terran armor is my favorite part lol, and Patrick as some kind of pirate Wario destroyer of worlds

@sgt1shot1kill Just watched the Mailbag. Awesome work duder! This is going up on a wall, and you're going to be internet famous for it!

this is amazing!!!!

Thank you! You guys are too kind :)

Splendiferous! Fanspastic indeed! :D!

and another :D! for good measure.

Oh my god. Dude, you are ridiculously talented. I've done this before with another GiantBomb member who did some amazing work -- would you be willing to do commissioned pieces? I might be interested (art for the new house) if I can afford it.

I mean, seriously, that would be fantastic to have that kind of skill. I can sketch some shit out and have done a good deal of painting in shows and elsewhere growing up, but nothing even remotely approaching this level.

This was indeed excellent. Great job!

Pretty awesome, I can't tell if that's meant to be Patrick in the back with the mustache.

@sgt1shot1kill: Your skills are like artistic lightning coursing through my veins!

Dope As Hell.

Great work.

The image is already somewhat compatible with smartphone screen sizes, but a desktop wallpaper version of this would be awesome.

Can someone help me with the references here? I get Brad=Starcraft and Vinny in the armor, but why are his arms huge? And I don't get Ryan or Jeff at all.

Any help?

That is incredible stuff, man.

@sgt1shot1kill: Your art looks amazing! Any game developer would be stupid not to hire you!

@sgtpierceface: Brad's is the only one based off anything. The rest is just random, or looked cool to me.

Awesome artwork. Have a new wallpaper for my phone.

Great job dude, get working on 2014's ;) lol

@sgt1shot1kill: @sgt1shot1kill: I figured it was because Vinny has impressive guns.

Lol could be :P

Great work man, Patrick looks so evil!

I'd like to imagine Ryan is turning into The Thing.

Where is Will Smith?

So freaking good.

Great job, man... great job.

Just stopped by to note my appreciation. This shit is FUCKING AWESOME.

Cheers, later.

I think Ryan might be my favorite. I can't stop laughing.

This looks great. What materials were used? What on what?

That's seriously fucking intense, dude. I love it. Making us artists on this site proud, some. :'D

My only complaint is that I don't own it.

Incredible.

This needs to be a shirt. I would buy a premium membership just for that on a shirt.

This belongs in a museum.

Good job man, looks amazing, I wish I had as much talent.

Looks great, Brad does not really resemble Brad that much IMO, but it is amazing work none the less.

I love the big boss Patrick, also like those explosion effects...

So do you

I've been high fiving my monitor and pouring beers on it ever since I saw the mailbag, in the hope that one or the other will eventually reach you @sgt1shot1kill.

One of the best mail bags- great work

made up for the 'send GB stuff from my closet" one I saw a month or so ago. Though that one was worth it for Jeff's baffled expression
