VGG on up on Flickr!

Some pictures of the Video Game Gore Show are now up on our flickr! Thanks to Phillip Michael for taking these!

Video Game Gore Horror Movies!

Finally got the chance to post my second and third pieces for the video game gore show. Two more famous horror scenes with some fun mario twists. They are layered pieces for some 3d effects.

These were really fun to make. I stopped by the show yesterday and it was awesome. Great work, can't wait for the next! (I also tried to stop by proximity to see everyone's pieces during gallery hours but it was closed for some reason, but i love what i've seen on the blog!)

Raziel of Nosgoth.

Let me start by saying that I love this game franchise... SOULREAVER WAS AWESOME!
It was a rare couple of video games where the voice acting, story, and overall mood of the content was harmoniously engaging for me.... I can close my eyes and here TONY JAY's VOICE, and the EPIC music from this game..

I'm not sure I did the game justice, But I tried...It was dark, errie, foreboding at times, and showed vampires as ghoulish monsters grown wise and physically altered by the passing eons..NO SPARKLY VAMPIRES HERE..

So I rendered Raziel, Consuming some delicious SOULS, and holding the glowing energy blade (REAVER) which is his primary weapon in the gameplay... also if you look in the bg near his right leg.. You might also see the pillars of Nosgoth which where a key location in the game...
I'm thinking of doing some more images in this style to show my love for this game...but those will have to wait...


I'm sorry I had to miss first Friday. But, I hope you'll scope out this post here, and lemme know what you think...

I hope you dig...

OCTOBER IS UPON US! (October Art Shows)

Friends and Fiends of the Autumn Society,

The Autumn Society proudly presents two amazing art shows for this upcoming first Friday of October.

HALLOWED HALLOWEEN

Our main event will be Hallowed Halloween in collaboration with the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society. Sam Heimer, co-founder of the Autumn Society, has personally curated this show, and you DO NOT want to miss it! If you love the true spirit of Halloween and you're in Philly this one is for you! Only at PROXIMITY gallery! Some words from Sam & Info / Flyer Below...

SOME WORDS FROM SAM

"If you haven't heard already; this Friday, October 1st, is the opening reception of Hallowed Halloween. This show is the first official joint venture between The Autumn Society and The Philadelphia Cartoonist Society. The aforementioned groups have cohabited since AS's beginning, and since then the groups have shared members on and off, but never really worked together. Again, this is the first time both groups have collaborated and brought equal greatness to the table. It will be a coalition of awesomeness so lets pack the house & spread the word!"

VIDEO GAME GORE

And if that's not enough for you, how about some pop-culture / blood drenched illustrations of your favorite video game characters? The Autumn Society & Brave New Worlds Comics are teaming up for their last show of the year to bring the Video Game Gore Show. Only at Brave New Worlds Comics!!!

About Video Game Gore (By Paul Montgomery of the Philadelphia Weekly)

"Pixelated carnage has come a long way since Donkey Kong hurled his first barrel and that intrepid Jump Man, and the Autumn Society’s latest gallery showing chronicles that bloody, button-mashed history with Video Game Gore. Local artists re-imagine the grisliest, spine-busting finishers of their latch-key youths in a showcase celebrating first person shooters, arcade fighters and sidescrolling slobberknockers.  Whether you like your interactive atrocity rendered in 8, 16, 32, 64-bit or beyond, you’ll likely find a snapshot of virtual brutality vivid enough to transport you to those halcyon days of callused, Cheetos-powdered fingers, scrounging down to depths of your pockets for one more quarter.  Stock up on health packs, save your progress, and get ready to feel anemic."

6pm. Free. Brave New Worlds, 42 N. Second St. 215.925.6525. bravenewworldscomics.com

Keep on keeping on AUTUMN SOCIETY!!

I'll put up the final image after the show goes public on Friday....I really love this game...

BOOM!

So I present my final piece. In a previous post, I wrote about adding SO many more colors and such, but when I did, I hated it. This is slightly different from the postcard that was sent out, but I like it just the same.

Really looking forward to seeing all the other super bitchin' pieces there. I know Im not the only one on here really itching for Halloween and Halloween art crap!


Check out my site for more crap.

"EVOLUTION" for The Video Game Gore Show

I finished my piece this weekend! Long, boring details here!

POSTER PRINTS NOW AVAILABLE HERE

Peachy Clean

the most wonderful time of year! nothing makes me happier than halloween, or art shows based around horror and gore! for the Video Game Gore show, i couldn't resist but to recreate some scenes from the greatest horror movies of all time, with some well known video game characters instead.  i'm a very avid horror movie watcher to the point that i have constant nightmares and irrational fears. but i can't help but love them. first up is some sexy time with princess peach. i hope you know what movie it is, and who the killer is! like my 3G pieces, i made the 3-dimensional layered paintings.  here is each layer, with the final piece:

KRATOS: God of Cuddles

Here's the plush piece I'm sending off to the video game gore show. Kratos, from God of War, in his most squishable incarnation to date. Polar fleece, felt, faux leather, and real chain (albeit tiny chain). Medusa head Trick or Treat bag included for your Halloween pleasure!

"One and Done" My tribute to the pitfall that has always bested me in Megaman- the one and done spike. Of course, in the game he explodes (into yellow concentric radiating orbs?!) but since THIS piece was created for a group srt show with a theme of "Video Game Gore" I decided to make a few changes to his anatomy.

3) Metallic Light to Dark Gray Split Fountain (floor color)
4) Dark Blue
5) Light Blue

Introductions and my VGG Teaser

Hello, I'm matK. I worked with Game, Jeff, Craig, PW! and more at Atomica. I have wanted to participate in the Autumn Society since the 8-Bit Show in philly and just kept putting it off. I'm a graphic designer first, but have always done illustration too. I look up to you guys and the work you do that you do has been an inspiration to push my craft. The recent 3G show started biting me again to join. Jeff told me about the Halloween and Video Games show and that finally pushed me over the edge - I HAD TO PARTICIPATE!

I am happily working on my piece for the Video Game Gore Show - here is a sample from the series so far. I look fwd to meeting you guys online, in person at the hanging next week, and down the road...Comments, advice and hellos are all welcome! Take care.
