I was approached by EB Games recently when my entry into their gift card contest was revealed to be a finalist www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbi… they wanted to use some of my fanart pieces for the VIP area of the 2012 EB Games Expo in Sydney! If that wasn't exciting enough, I was commissioned to create a brand new piece for them, this collage! The 'Ultimate Gamer' is a type of ticket I believe that people bought to get a bunch of extra benefits at the expo, including the use of the VIP room.
This took me all week, I worked my butt off ha ha XD By the end I started realising all the characters I could have put in! Unfortunately I only had so much time, adding more would have taken me much more time. Most of the character choices were requested by the 'Ultimate Gamers' themselves, and the staff at EB Games. (by the way, the four at the top next to Link are the social media staff).
I had a blast working for them and making this image 8) I hope you guys like it too.

Whoa! This is amazing for something that was done in a week. My expression is the same as that Girl on the left. This is worthy to be put in a videogame-themed art gallery. Its right up there with the works of Da Vinci & Van Gough XD.
Its great seeing all these characters there, like Link & Gordon Freeman. (Funnily enough I'm currently playing Black Mesa which is a remake of the first Half-Life game.)
Awesome job, Michelle.

I'm surprised to see you draw characters like Spyro, Crash, Ratchet and Master Chief. They're some of my most favorite video game mascots! ^_^

You're very welcome <3
Really? If you get the chance definitely do, the original series on ps1 is the best (to me at least). I was brought up with ps so Crash, Spyro, Gex and Medievil were my life back when i was young, I'm very glad I had my childhood
