Wow, I know it's fanart, but still, I've never had a piece this popular and well, I'm really grateful. Thanks everyone!***
Castle Crashers is such an awesome game. I played a bit of it at Comic-Con after getting my Green Knight (Green's the coolest!) figurine signed by Dan Paladin (artist of the game). Awesome game to be released on Xbox Live Arcade sometime at the end of August. I just love in the game how all the knights are the same in design, but have these little subtle differences beyond their color and elemental powers. Everyone with an Xbox 360 should check it out. [link]
So yeah, this is just my tribute to what looks like the coolest 360 Arcade game in a while. Man, the style is deceptively complex, I ended up having over 20 layers on this one just because I'm so obsessive about organization.
BTW, if you're curious, the Latin roughly means, "The player is god".
6-7 hours on Photoshop+pencil and paper.

Ha ha, I assume you've seen the ending then? I remember when me and 3 of my friends beat the game. We were all fighting our hardest to get the last princess. I honestly wasn't too disappointed when I lost to the others.

Dan Paladin is such an awesome guy! He went to my high school and when I was in Viscom we were learning Flash and he came in and talked to our class about it and showed us castle crashers..or i should say...the basics of it. it wasn't a game yet. but he helped me learn flash and such. <3 i love his style.

I just love Castle Crashers, endlessly replayable level design, fun battles, and so many muliplayer options, as well as subtle newgrounds references everywhere. You have done this game justice

Exactly, as soon as I get bored of one mode, (which is rare) I'm up for another, it's fantastic fun and hilarious at times.

More 'cute' comments? *_*
Heh, if you saw the videos of them in action, you wouldn't find them so cute though. Well, unless you find them beating the crap out of everything cute, then yes, they are very very cute.

have i mentioned you're awesome?
but dont bring it up again next time i see you cuz i'll TOTALLY deny it.
But you are.
and if you're gonna stick dreya in there, she's got reddish brown hair that's relatively long, she's very tiny, and likes to wear BOOTS. I think she's got either gray eyes or very very light blue eyes.
Xano...well, he's all yours.

Haha, this is pretty sick! Except at first I thought it was the House system... Silly me....
I know you'll hate me but the characters look really cute
I am not a Latin student like yourself, and therefore wish not to embarrass myself, but does Deum mean God?... in any way, shape, or form?
PS I like the blue guy, that's hardcore.

Gee-Man In reply to lalunartic [2008-08-06 23:57:51 +0000 UTC]
Heh, cute or not, thanks anyway.
And yeah, Deum is the accusative form of the word God. It's known better as Deus. The word deity comes from it.
