Philip Summers - 202X pre-orders open now!さんのイラストまとめ

The full series of Game & Watch scans from my collection. These are from roughly 1984, which I'm guessing based on the Saturday Supercade plug (which ended in '84) & the "New in '85!" call out on the Double Screen ad.

Some fresh scans of a handful of the Captain N cels I got a few weeks ago.

My four most traumatizing animation scenes from childhood. They're all from Akira. I was in 5th grade I think. Way too young to watch that movie. It blew my mind.

Closer look at the art itself. I was heavily inspired by the boxes of the original Final Fantasy Famicom games. I hope I'm able to channel some of those feelings with this piece.

Lets talk about these damn dots for a second too. Dots by the crease always scan horrible, they're generally faked too. First image is the scan, second is cleaned up with digitally readded dots. I have layers of dots that I can copy/paste as needed. Sometimes I manually add dots.

The first image is the scan cropped from the scanned background. So all the gray boxes are transparency and that's showing how much bleed I need. The second picture is a digitally added painting where I try to match the drawing about as close as I can.

Two tiny illustrations I snipped out of the Zelda guide. I completely rethought half the page the first one is from (it was the only place I had a little Link saying something with a tip and it just didn't work), and the second one I needed to redraw for another page.

Thanks for the amazing response on this cover last night. Still cracking away at this beast of a book. Spent my afternoon editing the Link vs Ganon spread. It was a ton of work and I needed to redraw a bunch of it. Also took decided to play with the color. What do you think?

To give another idea of the clean up process, it's literally me zooming into the image a bazillion percent into my awful handwriting and cleaning up any pencil marks left behind after I erased the paper. It's time consuming to say the least.

Since it's Mario Day, here's a handful of Mario scans I've done recently. I made two more of these available on https://t.co/RRP0drIPd3 (https://t.co/PQyIBD7OVj) & of course I updated my personal archive with stuff I missed at https://t.co/k5rGncCzv8. Enjoy!
