i need everyone to stop what they are doing right now and look at the reveal trailer for Arzette: The Jewel of Faramore. a whole ass spiritual successor to the CD-i Zelda games replicating the entire look and feel, with painted backgrounds and wonky animated cutscenes and the ORIGINAL VOICE ACTORS for LINK AND ZELDA??? IT'S SO INSANEEEEEEEE
YouTube poops are legitimately, unironically, provably art. Yes there are the rare ones like Awful Fawful's "Deliver Us" that are undeniably artistic in a conventional sense, but even the low-effort garbage that's just dick jokes and Mario saying fuck is inherently making a statement against the concept of copyright and intellectual property. It's saying that as soon as a piece of media is put out into the world, it belongs to everyone and can be twisted into any abomination possible no matter how much the rights-holders try to control and sanitize it. Nintendo wants you to forget the CDI Zelda games ever existed? Too bad, Morshu and King Harkinian are now more iconic than any of the new characters Nintendo has tried to push in the last decade. Warner Bros wants to crank out yet another soulless Scooby Doo reboot? Good luck giving it a single line as memorable as "I'll swooce right in!" or "if he's out here and we're in there and he's the sheriff and we're out here then I wanna know where's the caveman?"
If you're a fan of SiIvaGunner, then you've probably seen the new Shop Fusion Collab that just dropped today!
I was able to make several major visual contributions to the collab and wanted to share them here! I've got a lot to share, so I'll be posting my contributions for each section individually.
Before I start though, I advise you to watch the collab for yourself! It's a great celebration of shop themes in games with some of the most insanely accurate visuals to match, made by a team of extremely passionate artists.
