I was playing around in illustrator, trying out pixel art today while listening to the bombcast.  This popped out! I'm now thinking about making a short animated series that would be kinda like the smodcast cartoons and ricky gervais cartoon show where I would animate whatever they are talking about in the short clip but in this version everything would look like an old school video game... good idea or bad idea? Also do I have the time for something crazy like that. (probably not)

I'm digging this!

The art style reminds me of Zoo Keeper, but it does look awesome.                             :)

The guys look pretty good, but the text is quite janky - why are both 'B's different sizes? Also, round out the bomb a bit, it's looking pretty octagonal.

The b's are two different sizes because I wasnt paying attention, as this is merely a sketch ;D  I might change the bomb but really I like how it is.

What is illustrator and is it free? 
 
EDIT: Pretty cool btw

actually just to clarify... Illustrator is not for pixel art specifically. Its a pretty diverse program! Its kinda like photoshop for cartoonists and designers. Here's some of my other work that I've done in illustrator. Just for fun stuff. I dont usually do illustrations because my day job is animation so I'm always a bit rusty at it. "

Just out of interest why are you using a vector-based program to create raster art anyway?

Nice, mate. This stuff's right up my alley (including all the stuff in the linked page).
 
Goddamn it, I love Illustrator. Nothing beats a crisp curve that you can zoom right in on and have it still be razor sharp.

This is brilliant! I want moar!

Heh, how retro!!!

Hey thanks dudes!

Awesome idea, and I would totally wear that on a t-shirt or something!
 
Also, your stuff on flickr is really nice, I like your style :)

This will be the art for the upcoming Giant Bomb retro games podcast. If we keep repeating this, they'll have to do a retro games podcast (except not really).

Nice job, keep it up BROTHER.

Oh my god
