Description
Before we begin, this, my friends, is NOT MewTwo from Pokemon. Nope, not even a little. Hell, I didn't even think it resembled him in the slightist until someone pointed it out. *shakes fist*Educate yourself, foolish ugly Earth People. This is Giegue, an evil alien, destined to become the Universal Cosmic Destroyer known as Giygas.
He cannot be defeated by any weapon, any psychic power, any conventional means. He is, in essense, undefeatable... Except by music. haha
Anywho, a day or so ago, I decided that I needed to do some Mother 1 (Earthbound 0) art, since I really haven't done any. Giegue seemed like a good choice, and so I sketched out a few things. I liked this idea so much, I ran with it.
Whipped up the initial line drawing with my tablet, which I'm finally getting the feel for. Did some shading, then used a digital watercolour brush to get the background all... watery and awesome.
I'm very proud of this thing, actually. Sure, it's in black and white and some people skip over stuff like that, but I think it's one of my best works. Since I'm finally getting the essential hang of using the tablet properly, I'll be able to make drawings look a little more natural than they used to on the PC.
Any comments on stuff you see is wrong would be welcome. And so is praise and awe.
But remember children: This isn't MewTwo. Call him that and I will cry

Cool.
I never played any Mother/Earthbound games, but I thought geigue was interesting, more so than giygas.

To think that someone so cool could become someone so... freaky. AKA Giygas.|
SCARIEST THING EVER. Ah, but I love how this is done... shading and all~!<3

I salute thee!

Stunningly horrific, making it all the more terrifying. I think it's actually better uncolored. Love it.
It's scary to think about the form he'll eventually become, heh.

I've always loved this one ever since I saw it on Starmen.Net! Ever since then I've pictured Giegue in no other way.

Very nice rendition of Mother 1's boss. The shading is superb.

Actually, interesting fact, a lot of the people who worked on Mother later did do work on the first Pokemon games. You could say that Giegue is what inspired Mewtwo for the Pokemon series.

Giygas will still be the more frightening incarnation to me, but this is still pretty wicked. Awesome job on this, I thought it was pencil until I read the description.

It's Mewtwo who's a Giegue ripoff, not the other way around!
Great job by the way!

Really, the main similarity between Mewtwo and this fellow are the ears, which look like Mewtwo's horns. Other than that, I wouldn't have seen the difference.

Wow. Very, very nice. Good to see a picture of Gyiiyg [better known as Giegue or Giygas] that isn't his Mother 2 form. ^_^ Awesome, awesome. Definitely on my favorites list. By the way, his ears and head are sort of Mewtwo-like. I can't see the resembelence otherwise, though.

i love your work, and EB fanart is even more amazing
but off subject....what do you think about the mother 3 anouncement? I'm thinking they might release mother 1+2 over here a little before they release mother 3 so we can play them all in the states.

i think mewtwo is sweet but i still know about Giygas, at least a little. i never heard of Giegue, i just know of Giygas, who ended up becoming so evil it/he couldn't control himself and Pokey was like using that evil against the robot heros.. whatever. this is a really cool picture and i am going to face it ^^

Giygas = Giegue
Confirmed by Itoi himself, father of EarthBound/Mother (Series)
Some people like to think that he changed his name, some like to think it was an mistraslation since the name is the same in jp version

Yay! Giegue!
Don't know him very much cause I've never cleared Mother 1...
Anyways, he rocks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
ugh, how can someone call him Mewtwo?!
Show respect for Giegue!Man, i should play earthbound again, it's been so long
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because their bodies appear to look alike
and probably the same size.
They're both powerful.
Giegue is more stronger though.
I classify Giegue as an Uber if he was in Brawl.
Who would you prefer?
Wendy
Giegue
Aku
or Satan?

Sexy Giegue! Brings me back memories of when I cleared Mother for the first time.

I won't say anything about Mewtwo - except that he would look foolish and harmless when compared to this guy. Nice job!

Giegue is awesome. I've barely begun crawling through Mother 1 on Mother 1+2 whilst learning Japanese (I only understand the occasional phrase or word while talking to NPCs, though I can read and understand all of the PSI and most of the item names), but I've seen more than enough to make a decision, not to mention he's also Giygas (proven by Mother 2's tiny subtitle "Giigu no gyakushu," meaning "Giegue's Counter-Attack/Revenge"), so he would still get my awesomeness vote either way. I've rambled long enough, but keep up the good work!

Yup. It still looks awesome in BW. It's very expressive. I didn't know Giegue was also Gyigas. I never even got to Giegue, heck, I stayed stuck in those factories near that 2nd town you visit last time I played. I hope Mother 3 comes here to the US as Earthbound 2!!!!
