I just really like how Bengus drew Roll on the first Marvel Vs. Capcom game, his style represents that era of capcom's arcade games perfectly.

Thank you! I really really wish I had some video of the whole thing. It was very much like a Blair Witch experience to walk around and see those signs.

I just hope they're still up, scaring the shit out of hunters.

Mine's the main character from the German film Das Leben der Anderen, (The Lives of Others). It's an excellent film that I recommend if you haven't checked it out already.

Update:
Tried to edit an image of Naoto from Persona 4 to look like this one of BoC

Closest I could get it at least, I think it ended up looking pretty neat

A new one, couldn't keep this to myself.
This new avatar is a fantastic serial experiments lain based illustration by reddit artist Pulonia.

I especially admire the color combinations and line work on it. Really well crafted. :)

I hope there's some continuity between them, as they both look quite manga-ish. :)

It's part of a skybox texture from an old unreleased doom mod one of my friends made lmao
If The Campfire Headphase was a butterfly, would Acid Memories be the caterpillar?

It's a modified Apple Memoji. Replaced the Apple logo with a boc sticker and added the TH background.

I'm curious, do you have an BoC sticker on your own laptop? If so then that's Art imitating Life! :wink:

Yes I do actually, but contrary to my avatar the Apple logo is still visible on my laptop though.

Unused concept art from the video game WipEout,

Image
“This had nothing to do with WipEout, believe it or not. But the idea – huge floating whale-like spaceships – was so strong that the original doodle sketched during downtime became a more fleshed out piece of art!”

All of the other concept art from WipEout is fantastic, highly recommend checking it out for anyone who loves those games, I have all of this art set as my desktop wallpaper and it alternates every few hours

I feel that I've seen it before, not sure where from though (I don't play many games, my knowledge on that front is miniscule.)

Whenever I look at it, it reminds me heavily of some of Roger Dean's sci-fi and fantasy artwork, similarly celestial.

Gyration + intermittent pauses from my head above the scanner. I think this is the one I liked the most of a set. Most of the distortion was lower in the image though (cropped out in this instance).
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

Simulated-matrix-dimension variant of myself, or the effects of listening to too much geogaddi.
