The Legend of Zelda

Here is my contribution to the Fill Up Your Hearts blog. My parents gave my older brother a Nintendo for Christmas of '86 (i think) and from then on we were hooked. We only had a few games starting out and this was one of them and it's still one of my favorite games.

Whoooo Zelda

Just wanted to get a piece out before the new game!

Blue is Always Stronger

www.judebuffum.com

Here's my piece for the 8-Bit Champions show at La Flaq Gallery in Paris. It's titled "Blue is Always Stronger" as a reference to the 8-bit Legend of Zelda games where the blue version of the enemy always dealt out, and could withstand, more damage to Link.

SUPER iam8bit - The Evolutionary Biology of Hyrule

www.judebuffum.com

Well it had been almost 3 years since LA-based production company iam8bit put on one of their legendary eponymous video game themed art shows, but it was worth the wait! SUPER iam8bit opened to the general public on August 11th at the recently renovated iam8bit headquarters located in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.

For my contribution to the show, I created Magna Arbor Vitae Deku (traslated “The Great Deku Tree of Life”) a sprawling exploration of the evolutionary biology of the 200 most important species from the Legend of Zelda video game series. Complete with binomial Latin names (Zora Bellator and Zora Fluvialis share a common ancestor with the more peaceful species Zora Sapien, for example), the brances of the Deku tree trace the evolution of each species over millions of years. Forks in the branches indicate an extinct common ancestor of the species that follow.

Detail of some lifeforms from the Plantamalia phylum

Detail of some lifeforms from the Zora genus, the Blin genus, and some other amphibians and mammals

Detail of some lifeforms from the Primate order, as well as some other mammals

Detail of some lifeforms from the Draconem genus, the Dinosauria superorder, and the Aves class

All the species grouped by scientific binomials

Magna Arbor Vitae Deku will be available in a very limited edition of 15 at the SUPER iam8bit opening (#1 will be framed in a cool one-of-a-kind distressed wooden frame).

8 Bit Champions

Here's my piece for the upcoming 8-Bit Champions show in Paris, France. My first international show!

I've been playing a lot of Zelda lately as I unwind in the evenings, so it was the game I chose to illustrate. For more info about this piece you can check out my post about it here.

'We're Gonna Need a Bigger Rucksack' Final

Maybe I'll tweak it some more, but it's basically done! My entry for ASOP's 8-Bit and Beyond Video Games Art show. Link's all ready to trek around Hyrule with literally everything except the kitchen sink!

WIP - We're gonna need a bigger rucksack...

It's our favorite pointy-eared hero! ...Who's not too happy about all the items he's gonna have to lug around Hyrule.


The work-in-progress of my piece for the 8-bit and Beyond Video Games show that'll be at Brave New Worlds! ...Phew, that's gonna be a lot of coloring.
