Description My entry to the third weekly contest at This week's theme is the Wild West! Here's some appropriate background music

Unlike the past two weeks, I didn't have a clear idea of what I wanted to shoot for. Originally, I wanted to draw Ivy from Soul Calibur, but I
wanted to put her in a duster coat, and that would have defeated the whole purpose for picking her in the first place (nudge nudge, wink
wink, say no more ). So, in the end I thought, "Just go for a game that nobody would pick in a thousand years and see where that takes
you." With the game decided, all that was left was to pick the character. Bad Mr. Frosty melting in the desert was my first choice, but like
every other fighter I thought of, I couldn't come up with a costume that fit his theme. Icky, however, was tailor-made for the part of a
Mexican bandito.

I had thought about doing a full-on wanted poster, because it would have been WAAAAY simpler, but it also would have been kind of dull,
so I went for the mini-poster instead. Unless my brain is scrambled, the 100% on the moon is a reference to the final boss for the original
Clay Fighter

Freaking awesome! I love Clayfighter, and this is so much more badass than the original design.

Your artwork is partly to blame for this monstrosity.
If I hadn't seen your Taffy piece a while back, Clayfighter
would have been the furthest thing from my mind.

Tell me something, did the orignal Clayfighter characters
only have around 3 signature moves, or were there hidden
ones as well?

Now this is cool Brendan once made that Taffy from Clayfighters for a Project by me last year,you made this Ickybod Clay Western Style Version for a Contest on FGE..hehe slowly but unstoppable i am becoming the godfather of clayfighter fan art mwuhahar

Seriously, somewhen sooner or later there will be a tribute project about clayfighters on gahq.com/fge.

Tomorrow i am featuring your Ickybod on GAHQ.com

And yup..some Clayfighter characters had hidden moves not described in the manual

Brendan has some unique video game art, that's for sure.

A Clayfighter contest or tribute sounds great. I'd love to
see more artwork for those games.

Yeah, Brendan's Comic style has something oldschool and crazy for me, i am super glad i am in good terms with him and he likes and participates in the tribute projects.

Something for Clayfighter is a must

Some had hidden moves. Bad Mister Frosty had somewhere around six or seven. I personally feel that playability-wise, Clayfighter 1 and the 64 title were pretty awful, but I've always found the second one on SNES, C2-Judgment Clay to be an incredibly underrated fighter.

Reinhold-Hoffmann In reply to BrendanCorris [2013-04-15 18:34:34 +0000 UTC]

Clayfighter I however had some super funny characters like Helga and Blue Suede Goo

I just mentioned it to Fischhead too, but someday sooner or later i really have to organize either a Clayfighter contest on FGE or a Tribute Project about the series.

That would be awesome. I love all the Clay Fighter characters. I would need to enter that.

it took me a sec to recognize who that was (yes even with the name in the corner....)- but wow that is a really original idea.

you probably have your 3rd win.

Originality is key to making interesting art.

You know, if I won 4 weeks in a row, and was completely obliterated in the final round
it would be the funniest possible outcome for me. C-C-C-Combo Breaker!!!

I don't give much of a damn about the Clay Fighter games, but this rendition of Icky is just fantastic.

FischHead In reply to WideMouthInk [2013-03-28 15:57:26 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, and I'll agree that Clay Fighter was always horribly executed. However, I'd love to see
a modern reboot by a company that actually knows a thing or two about fighting games.

Very cool! I haven't even thought about that game in forever! Love all the little details, awesome job. This guy needs to be animated with a kick @ss voice over!

Remind me next time to submit my stuff a few days after you submit, lol!

FischHead In reply to digital-vox [2013-03-27 22:28:42 +0000 UTC]

Often times, the details are what makes a piece fun. Personally, I like the little pom-poms on his hat.

It always starts out so tame, and then the insanity just builds until you realize what you've been drawing:
A flying, ectoplasmic, Latino jack-o-lantern carrying concealed archaic weaponry.



Oh, and someone wrote on the moon.

The scary thing is that this is part of my normal moveset. I haven't used any of my Super Fist techniques or
Hyper Combos yet.

Hmmm, but you can use other font, right?

FischHead In reply to borockman [2013-03-27 22:15:10 +0000 UTC]

Sure, but it doesn't bother me enough to edit the whole thing a third time
just to squeeze in "1,000,000 pesos" or whatever since it's irrelevant to
the joke. Also, I just like this one better than most of the free western
fonts out there. Most of them are from movies or Mexican restaurant logos.
