AndroidArts: This guys is brilliant

Don't know if this ever came up on GAF, but I'm a big fan of this dude. He's a swedish artist who seems to really have been bitten by the retro bug. He comes up with crazy ideas for game remakes and new hardware designs. Just head over to his site to drool a bit:

He also made a complete sprite patch for Super Mario Land:

Awesome? Awesome.
 
The famicube is great. I really dig that layered look.

And he has an art tutorial on his site, I love reading stuff like that!
 
Arne's a crazy talented dude, and I enjoy his redesigns, GDD mock-ups and dedication to hardware constraints, but he really needs to tone down the underpants pre-teens.
 
That Famicube is drool-worthy, good Lord! Amazing work all around really, going to keep my eye on this cat. Thanks for posting!
 
That's some gorgeous artwork.

And now I feel bad for wearing this avatar for four years without even knowing who created it. Only remember that someone in that Metroid 25th anniversary made a couple avatars. :S
 
He's awesome but you shouldn't hotlink the pictures from his website directly, it'd be better to rehost them somewhere else.
 
Heads up, there's some NSFW stuff in mixed in there (specifically, the Cosmic Soldier image). You may want to edit that out.

The art is pretty dang cool, though!

What the hell are you talking about? I saw absolutely nothing like that.

Incredible stuff. I could stare at his work all day.
 
Today is sexy saturday.

Are pixelated boobs really that big of an issue? o_O

From the terms of service:

EviLore said:
Images of a sexual or profane nature are discouraged. Images presenting exposed genitalia, bared buttocks, and/or female nipple/aureola are not allowed. Outside of this, common sense and a "safe-for-work" rule should be the primary considerations. Do not spam meme images or any other image macro. Avatar images should be static and entirely "G-rated" and family-friendly.

So, probably yes. Doesn't bug me much personally, but I bet the mods will feel otherwise.
 
NSFW material aside, I'm baffled that no one's hired Arne for long-term work on a notable game recently. The only project I know he was majorly involved in was Cortex Command, which released unfinished and fell victim to Internet drama. He's a great ideas guy with technical skills to boot; I bet NIGORO or Team Meat would do well to get him on their projects. Arne puts so many to shame with his concept work.

I reached out to him as well regarding a position at Moon... We'll see :)
 
I never knew I needed something in my life like this... until I saw it.


There's an opportunity for this stuff to come alive in VR.

Some sort of virtual arcade featuring these machines and games would be... amazing.

Like you have to change games by taking out the disks and blowing on them and shit. Hah... that'd be a trip.

I know there's a VR retro arcade - but this takes that idea to the next level with these imagined consoles and games.
