Let it be known that we here at Loot Ninja aspire to be artistic and creative in nature, but it always helps when art revolves around video games.
This piece of art was Created by an artist named Donna, entitled Perpetual Pac-Man, which measures in at 20″ (wide) x 8″ (high). This piece is handcrafted from hundreds of individual tiles that are made by the artist herself in order to bring our yellow dot eating hero to life.
The beauty of this piece is only eclipsed by the other pieces over at Arcade Art, definitely check them out, makes me want to grab some of these for my game room.
I had brought you word that I was working on a Loot Ninja Mighty Mugg a while back and I was so busy that I never really got around to it, but now I have finished one prototype. I colored him similar to the ninja that shows up on our homepage, but the colors are a bit off.
I started by penciling in my design concept and then going out and buying paint and supplies at the local hobby shop. The figure is 100% hand painted with acrylic paint, which gives it a glossy finish. This was my first attempt at the figure and I have three more blanks to work on and try to refine my design. I hadn’t painted something since grade school so this was a bit of a challenge and took me a couple of hours to work through.
What do you think?

Are you confused? Well join the club! Seems that an artist took a my Little Pony figure and decided that it needed to be infused with the great Master Chief. What results borders on very cool and very disturbing. Maybe this could be a plot twist for the expansion, Halo 4 The Pony Wars. I think next they should try melding Solid Snake and My Little Pony, I guess that would produce a smoking Metal Gear Pony?
I had told you all about Mighty Muggs, which are very cute 6 inch figures that I enjoy collecting because of their sheer cuteness. Well I have gone ahead and ordered 4 blank white Mighty Muggs, which you can use as a blank canvas. I am right now working on making a Loot Ninja Custom Mighty Mugg. I have already begun sketching up the frame work for the character and have started with the blank white version to make the mascot you see on the home page banner, I penciled in some of the lines last night and will now work to start coloring him in.
I had originally worked up a mock and he looked like this.

The new Street Fighter IV cover art has been unleashed onto the world and gamers profess… “whatever!” This game has such a huge and loyal fan base that the cover art could have been a steaming pile of poo and people would still flock in droves to the stores to purchase it. Some are actually complaining that they do not like the art on the cover, and to them I say “Silence! Chun Li flexing her muscles at you is all you need and all you will get or you will not play the game. So it is written so it shall be done.”
Let’s explore some other potential artwork for the cover. My thought would have been a tribute to the original classic Street Fighter II and have the opening scene of that game on the cover where the generic blonde guy clocks the other dark haired guy.
What do you think, would you liked to have seen something different on the cover art? Or is it fine the way it is?
Hit the jump to see the European version. OOooooo La la.
Mega Man 9 of course! Have you guys seen this packaging, it makes me smile just looking at it. I am a huge old school NES player and regret getting rid of my original NES and all my games. Look at that sexy case! Ok it isn’t exactly sexy, actually its blocky and gray, but that is exactly what makes it so great! It looks just like and old NES cartridge but opens up to house the CD.
What do you think - masterful piece of art or old piece crap? I will hunt you down if you vote for old piece of crap!
Remember the creepy ass Mario or the creepy ass Bowser. Here is the not so creepy ass, Nikp Bellic. This was based off a real person, so its not as disturbing as the first two. Still, this is great work indeed. Here is their homepage which has some great art on it.
This guy screams hardcore fan, he took an entire room in his house and pretty much dedicated it to Microsoft and the Xbox 360. He painted the walls green, put up Xbox logos and even has green furniture. I like the idea of having a gaming room, but I wouldn’t make it green or put giant logos on the wall unless the company sponsored me, best part of the room is the in-wall mini fridge, icy cold drinks while you play games FTW.
Is it my imagination or does he sound a bit creepy describing the room, like someone should break open the walls to look for the dead bodies. Also got creepy when he flipped off the lights and turned the green LED’s on, I was having some Silence of the Lambs flashbacks at this point.
Savannah College of Art and Design professor Daniel Floyd put a pretty good movie together to show the progression (or lack there of) of video games and sex. It is set in a cartoon style with some quick witted humor to help make the subject a bit more light hearted. The discussion of Mature content in video games is right on and the stereotype of video gamers as well. Video games with sex automatically get an AO, which as the professor states is interesting since no matter how much violence is put in a game, it will never get an AO rating. This video is right on, enjoy.
These realistic paintings of video game characters are really creeping me out. The newest is Sonic the Hedgehog. Looks rabid to me. Might want to run away from that thing before you get infected.
The artist is pretty good, but damn these things make me want to stay far away from the characters.
