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:

http://androidarts.com/

Examples:

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

Awesome? Awesome.

 

[AmaterasuOni]

I dig these! Really cool stuff!

 

[Shift Breaker]

The most important piece of knowledge that I've taken from these is that there is indeed always room for Magnemites.

 

[magnetic]

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!

 

[Earthpainting]

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.

 

[Kanyon]

Fantastic stuff, looks like I've found my new go to site for gaming wallpapers. Love this artstyle.

 

[fantomena]

That's pretty cool.

 

[Interceptor]

Awesome stuff.

*avatar claimed*

 

[Rygar 8 Bit]

really rad rygar art

 

[Peltz]

That Famicube is too cool.

 

[cyress8]

Awesome looking stuff, just need more boobs.

 

[jaypah]

That Famicube is drool-worthy, good Lord! Amazing work all around really, going to keep my eye on this cat. Thanks for posting!

 

[Sword Familiar]

Gorgeous stuff.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Awesome looking stuff, just need more boobs.

Uh..?

Anyways, I'm impressed by the Super Mario Land sprite patch. That looks great!

His CNES pallet and sprite designs look awesome as well.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Really cool stuff.

You just might check it, though, OP. Some potential NSFW stuff there.

 

[wrowa]

That's some gorgeous artwork.

Spoiler

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

 

[Fermbiz]

I was hoping ur post wouldn't end... That's how awesome the art is.

 

[Chev]

He's awesome but you shouldn't hotlink the pictures from his website directly, it'd be better to rehost them somewhere else.

 

[Hyoukokun]

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!

 

[Vespa]

I remember Arne's Art tutorial from years back, what a legend!

The famicom aesthetic is too cool.

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

Incredible stuff. I could stare at his work all day.

 

[Sora the Cat]

Now I need nintendo's next console to look like that famicube

 

[DrBo42]

There's nudity in this FYI. About halfway down OP.

 

[Blobbers]

Cosmic Soldier just doesn't give a damn.

 

[JoeyJungle]

Cool art!

Today is sexy saturday.

Are pixelated boobs really that big of an issue?

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

He's a swedish artist

Too OP.

 

[Slowdive]

Gorgeous stuff.

 

[cyress8]

Nope,just unexpected. The art is wonderful though.

From the terms of service:

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.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Nsfw tag or spoiler the boobs and panties.

 

[thomasmahler]

Mods: please remove the boobs if it's too much. And don't ban me, it's just art

 

[MCN]

I need that Sinclair machine in my life.

 

[N° 2048]

:|

DAMN he's good.

 

[whipihguh]

That spritework is too good!

 

[Dragoon En Regalia]

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 don't personally care at all, it's art. But there are rules here about it.

 

[Cromulent_Word]

FYI, I'm pretty sure he still works with Data Realms (maybe part-time?) on Planetoid Pioneers: http://www.datarealms.com/press/sheet.php?p=planetoid_pioneers

 

[Hristi]

Wow. I love his drawings.

 

[Zaptruder]

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.
