Rampage



This is my piece for the upcoming "I Am 8-Bit" show at Gallery 1988. The show starts April 17th and runs till May 12. I'll be selling prints of this in the store at my site. I was always a huge fan of Rampage. There was no end to the game, you simply took your monster and smashed buildings. Being the huge Japanese monster movie fan I could relate to this premise quite easily.

I'd love to hear your thoughts

This is great! Your work is a lot of fun, congrats on getting your own show to air too. I was a huge fan of Rampage as a kid...so much so that I almost got beat up over a misunderstanding with some older kid at an arcade over it. Good times.

This piece works well on it's own but would be great to see as a tryptic with George and Ralph in their own destructive glory.

Dan, I absolutely love the lighting, the shape of the car up front is fantastic. I'm guessing the open door means it's been abandoned.

A note on beating Rampage. Be glad you didn't. It's 100 or 200 levels? I'm not sure, but I totally made my mom help me beat it before I would let her watch her evening programs (I have no clue how I got away with that one in retrospect). But the many hours of unsavable work result in the screen going black at the end of the last stage and it says "Congratulations." That's it. The End. No Credits. Back to the start screen.

At any rate, the image is wonderful and keep cranking out the great work!

Great Godzilla. I love his position in the back. You can feel the impending doom. Great colors, composition and character.
