FunnyFarm faux game advert by Teacat (critique requested)

FunnyFarm faux game advert (critique requested)

Teacat

Pixel mockup work I provided for a faux video game advert for a real webcomic; Funny Farm!

http://funnyfarmcomics.com/

It can be found in the back cover interior in the new printed Banished comic book:

Note: the arrangement of the advertisement was not my work, just the mockups/pixel assets.

    this is so fun and really reminds me of those old video game mag adverts

      It works way better than I had anticipated! Ryan did a great job with the composite.

    Your pixel work is awesome man, good inspiration for the stuff I wanna try to get into.

      Thanks so much! I've loved working with pixels so far. I wish I could go back in time and redo these with a more limited 16-bit palette.
      What sorta stuff are you looking to get into, might I ask?

      • Link

        Well I've been drawing for a little over a year now, trying to learn the craft, but pixel art in particular interests me. Maybe even short little animations?

        I wanna do pixel stuff I guess kind of similar to this. Maybe not too complicated, maybe not too simple either? I guess I'm not too sure, I think I need to experiment more really!

        • Link

          I see! There are a ton of great resources for pixel art out there on the net. I spend an embarrassing amount of time studying sprite sheets - not only handy for pixels, but they're all mini animation lessons too!
          I hope you share your experiments in pixel-pushing, if you find you enjoy it. :>

    That's some nostalgia gold there, haha~

      I know what you mean - I had a lot of exposure to gaming mags in the 90s.

    I'm slightly sad that this is to be considered a "fake" ad. I'd love for this game to actually exist.

    • Link

      Maybe someday it could be!

  • Link

    Breaks my heart that it is not a real thing ;;

    • Link

      If it were to become a real thing I'd be so down to make a billion assets for it.

    Really fun and interesting,
    The evil computer remind me about Mother or Earthbound battle style (never played them, but seen videos)
    A game like this would be really interesting to play.

    • Link

      Keen eye! These are all made as an homage to the Mother/Earthbound style.

        It's really cool, by the way, i see you did the Pixels Assets (or should i call them sprites?).
        Came out very cool.
        Also reading the "prequel" online, and already laughing at the scary painted wall. XD
