Art Attack! Nes style.

I love the old Nintendo art. That Japanese and Western mesh you would often see in the early issues of Nintendo Power. Crack open an NES manual and more often than not you would see hand drawn art in there too. Vintage stuff is great to look at! I guess its nostalgia, before computer programs made everything nice and shiny, glossy and clean cut, we had the rough and tumble art style.

Sometimes chubby, super deformed (chibi), or just plain outrageous. But that's what made the art from the eighties and early nineties fun.




My all-time favorite pic of Link

Now THAT is some great art! Let's Check out a few more pieces! ^>^




Most of these pictures are from Zelda 2 The Adventure of Link. But others include Super Mario Bros.2 and Faxanadu. There's so many more great art too be found in NES manuals and other forms of media too. Unfortunately that's a story for another day. ^>^
