Description Why do I like drawing characters from games or shows that nobody remembers anymore? I dunno.

Sparkster/Rocket Knight Adventures is copyright Konami

Colored in Painter
Kind of quick, but another experiment with backgrounds and more completed compositions.

Oddly enough, I just found out that the composer of the soundtrack to this game is Akira Yamaoka, the Sound Director behind Silent Hill and a large contributer to the Beatmania series. The More You Know.

Oh my! Sparkster! I LOVED that game. The SNES one, self titled. Couldn't get into the Mega Drive/Genesis one. Very well done, superb colouring!

Dude, I so totally fell in live with this game... I cleared everything, searched for all the hidden items in each level.... man, that brings back memories... And, very sweet picture, I must admit.

if I remember right, the guy who "created" rka is the same guy who came up with gradius.

What he \/ said!

BEST SPARKSTER ART EVER!

Seriously, Konami should make one RKA game instead of a dozen Castlevania and Metal Gear games!

The world needs more Rocket Knight fanart like the Wii virtual console needs Rocket Knight games. Very much.

Awesome job!

Okay, I just discovered your gallery. Woooow. Rocket Knight Adventures totally does it for me. Loads of memories. Also interesting about Yamaoka, I'm a big Silent Hill fan, too. Sparkster rulez.

I guess because it feels somewhat more rewarding then doing a fanart for a character or series that's well known. You almost feel like you're doing a service for that character and trying to get more people to enjoy them and the series they're from.

I really hope this game gets a release on the Wii shopping network

I've never played this game, but I've seen this character floating around before. Nice work!

Obscure fanart is the best. Fantastic lighting and detail. Looks very real!

Also, my guess is he had too much Taco Bell.
