Artist Ashley Riot created this wonderful bit of original gaming art to donate to the Child’s Play charity dinner auction.
She says she wanted to do a piece that features strong playable heroines who debuted in a game prior to 1995.
“I tried to gather representation from every classic game with a female hero, but I’m sure some smart arse will point out someone I missed!” she writes over on Deviant Art. “I’m inclined to give a free commission to anyone who can name all 50 of them Some are really obscure!”
The completed work was created on a 24×36 bristol, with PITT pens, sakura white, and copics.
Enjoy… and get to naming.
[Thanks Riot!]
how much does she want for a print of it
nice concept, poor execution.
their faces all look the same, it’s all out of proportion, characters look ugly.
I’d like to see one with post-1995 women characters, that’s when all the good ones were made. (due to the birth of the polygon for breasts & the series of advanced breasts physics thereafter.)
Also, it bothers me that some of the characters in this piece are depicted as the post-1995 versions. (i.e. samus’s green visor)
[email protected] still somehow getting in Cammy’s ass and Chun-Li’s panties in all that mess.
Too bad that 1995 is the cut-off date. Joanna Dark is one of my favourite female characters; it would have been nice to see her one there somewhere.
Great artistry, amazing detail as well..
Oh Lara, where Art thou?
Uh oh. She put Poison in there.
Who wants to break the news?
