2D Forever

This was created for an online magazine, Play.d

I've been doing illustrations for them and this month they asked for a Dreamcast cover! Being a big fan of all Dreamcast and Sega, I loved every second of it.
Seeing the final picture I wish I did a few things differently such as the sizes of the background characters (Ryu is way too small) but happy with the outcome.

Ah, but there is... just not in this picture. I did this as a 2-part image. The first part was the full set shown here, and the 2nd part had Samba de Amigo and one of the cabbies from Crazy taxi.

Also, why do you sound so surprised that your Dreamcast still works? I've got a Master System that still works fine somewhere!

The characters are drawn well--you can easily tell who they are, but you've put your own spin on them. You also did a nice job on the coloring. But what really makes this piece is the composition.

The Dreamcast is the last system with which I truly had fun, and the last system I actually cared about. When they stopped making it, it was like the end of an era. I have a soft spot in my heart for many of the characters associated with it, even though many of them didn't last beyond one or two games.
One character that you omitted, but I personally would have liked to have seen, is Seaman.

2dforever In reply to CaribbeanPulse [2007-02-01 18:50:13 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the great comment

Yeah, I left out a few good ones such as something from Crazy Taxi on purpose as they were going to be follow up illustrations for the Magazine. As for Seaman... well, my excuse for leaving that one out is because we never got it over here in Europe (Yet I chose to do a orange swirl)

SO YOU"RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!

i saw this in 4chan a while back... hehe..

the DC is my fave console... ever. really. haha.

only gripe is that, at least one or two more sega games should have been there, games like Skies of Arcadia and also Sega Rally or Crazy Taxi, those were one of the games which really defined the Dreamcast.. imho... but hey.. any form of DC tribute is a winner

aruite jitte yo~!

Always nice to hear my pictures are about on the net....

As for Crazy Taxi, there is a taxi addition as a separate picture. I did them for an online magazine, 'playd'. Nice folks at the mag, too!

was there even a street fighter game for dreamcast?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

2dforever In reply to omote-renge [2007-01-13 09:35:09 +0000 UTC]

There were plenty! A lot of dreamcast-only titles too.
The big one was Street Fighter 3 (as you avatar, i see!), both 'double impact' (the first two) and 3rd Strike.

And as a list, seeing as they're all beside me here:
Capcom vs SNK (1, pro & 2)
Marvel vs Capcom (1 & 2)
Street Fighter Alpha 3
Street Fighter 3 (double impact & 3rd Strike)

aaand possibly some other ones!

The Dreamcast remains one of the greatest systems ever. Bar none. It's a pity it was never given a real chance to flourish here in the States. Godspeed, Dreamcast.

retal4 [2006-11-23 22:28:54 +0000 UTC]

Superb!
I still play my DC regularly and although there's quite a few games that I would like to see represented (Skies of Arcadia, Resident Evil CV, Dead or Alive 2, Crazy Taxi, Grandia 2, Bangai-O, Ready 2 Rumble, Samba De Amigo, Virtua tennis, Quake 3: Arena, Project Justice, etc), this is still a damn fine piece of work.

2dforever In reply to retal4 [2006-11-23 22:58:00 +0000 UTC]

I agree, there's lots that didn't make it into it. As this was done for a magazine it's coming in 2 parts. I'm saving some of them for the next issue

I also tried to keep them to Dreamcast only games, so Dead or Alive 2, Quake and so on couldn't really go on.

Anyway, thanks for the kind words! It's nice to see how many Dreamcast fans there were! *sniff*!

Do you mean the Lancia Stratos from Sega Rally? If you do, much kudos to you

I wanted to add some cars (Sega Rally, Daytona, Crazy Taxi) but thought they would of taken up too much...

Wish I did now!

"Do you mean the Lancia Stratos from Sega Rally?"
--> Exactly

"I wanted to add some cars (Sega Rally, Daytona, Crazy Taxi)"
--> or one from genki's "Shutoko battle" !!! This game owned racing games for at least a year IMHO O_O !
--> or a F355 !
--> and of course somone from... "Pen Pen TriIcelon"

A++
