Description Kay, this pic requires some explanation.

"Magic Pengel: the Quest for Color" is a game made by Studio Gibli where you draw creatures to battle with. If the battle system was better and the game was longer, this game could be huge. As is, it's just something cute and fun to mess around with XD

The entire game is in 1st person view so you never see yourself, so here's what I imagine I look like (note the glasses and scarf and the usual stuff ) along with one of the doodles (that's what you call drawn creatures) I always use, Crabby the crab with a palm tree on its head.

I tried to make the style look more like the game, which is why it's all lineless and stuff. The flats were done in illustrator and the shading was done in photoshop 'cause it's alot easier. (atleast while I don't understand masks in illustrator)

Sorry for the longness! it is late and I'm feeling long-winded.

Oh! I had been looking for this game, but I'd forgotten about it until now... I love Amazing Island, but I've heard this one's even better. Thanks for inadvertently reminding me!

My best doodle's a jester named Harley. I can't wait to get the wing pallet so I can give him actual wings.

Magic Pengel! One of the greatest games of all time! And by the way, it was Taito that made it.

I want to play the sequel, Graffiti Kingdom.

(Did you beat the game with Crabby? I don't think it's possible... Considering Mono's abilities...)

the wiki page only mentions the people who translated it... but I know some site mentioned it was either made by studio ghibli or a differently-named videogame company that they made. In any case I'm pretty sure they were involved! ( x 0 x)/ The characters look that way too.

Hehe, I really enjoyed Magic Pengel. Never got around to trying its sequel though, anyways, great job capturing the feel of the game, and now I must make a crab with a palm tree on its head. It is a must.

I heard about this game! :0 I was super-excited for it, but then I never heard anything about it again, so I assumed they either canceled it or it flopped or something.

Also: Your crab is so cute it burns. Seriously. And I think this style of coloring works really well with your style of drawing! : D Though it looks like a lot of trouble to go to. x3

I remember that game, had it a while back, but I loved the creativity it offered. I kept trying to draw that dog that was in the game on the loading screens, the white one (never got it right >< )

Haha, I've actually heard of this game. I didn't think it would be very good tho... I guess it would be much better on the wii or DS.

Anyway, great pic! It's all lineless and stuff...

philho [2007-07-06 09:23:24 +0000 UTC]

Funny. I wonder if the studio Gibli ripped the name from studio Ghibli of Miyazaki fame...
Seeing the title, I expected to see a penguin angel... Maybe it is just a reference to gel pens.

I swear I never knew it existed until an aim buddy mentioned it, and there is NO fanart of it on DA.
