Ninja Gaiden
Hi Autumn Society, my name is Campbell Whyte and this is my Ninja Gaiden for the 8-Bit Champions.
The framing was done by a fantastic local guy who I went to for my last show. He made some amazing colour and shape recommendations, which I think have really brought the illustration to life. If you like this check out my other 8-bit series, 8 Bit Dreams.

Ghosts N Goblins!
Alex Leighton (xander13.com) / acryclic on wood
I was super excited to be involved in the '8-Bit Champions' show, not only because it's in Paris but also because I chose one of my all time favourite games from my childhood! I didn't have a lot of time to work on it due to work being pretty crazy recently but I'm pretty happy with how this turned out...

The Descendant of Edrick.
Hey fellow gamers/drawers/nerdy-types: here's my submission for the 8-Bit Champs show!
The game I chose was Dragon Quest, or, if you grew up here, Warrior, which was literally my first foray into the realm of RPG's. It was also the first video game I got that wasn't Super Mario Bros., which came bundled with my NES console. And as a bonus, I got it for free with my subscription to Nintendo Power, a subscription which I almost wholeheartedly blame for my current, adult addiction to reading endlessly about videogames.

PAC-MAN'S MEAL
My new piece for the upcoming show "8-Bit Champions", as you can see i made this piece inspired by one of the biggest and classic videogames ever, PAC-MAN. Also was one of my first videogames, so i hope this work could make a good tribute to this classic!

Go Samus, Go!
New Metroid piece that will be featured in Geekart.net's show, "8-Bit Champions" in Paris, France.
backstory:
Metroid holds a bit of a special place for me. I distinctly remember sitting in my basement as a kid, and watching my older brother play it (majority of original NES games are memories of watching him play it before I actually got my hands on experiencing the game for myself). Right after he'd just beaten the last level, Metroid reveals in the ending that --(ZOMG SPOILER?!?) Samus is actually a female under all that androgynous space-suit looking armor. That really got me, mainly because all of the games I'd been playing up until that point always starred a male character (Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Mega Man etc.). And this female heroine was extremely awesome!
I tweaked Samus's armor some because it was looking a bit outdated (according to the original NES covers and manual booklets that came with the game).
