Cap'n Crunch to debut soon...

Not willing to let Cap'n Crunch: Intergalactic Bounty Hunter become just a series of sketches, I've decided to create comics for it! As soon as I finish the first page I will post it here. More than likely I'll have a new page every week. Of course if I'm able to create more pages in a week I'll put them up. I didn't want to start off with an origin tale, so the first story begins in the middle of a battle. I am surprised that it is a lot of fun developing this. Hopefully one day I'll have completed a bunch of different stories with the Cap'n.

I am in the midst of creating a preview trailer for it to put on youtube, so here is a quick look at a sketch for it. You may have to click to enlarge.

Who's that on the lower left there? You'll have to wait and see!

I have another game music delivery on the way soon, and I can't wait to report on all the new music!

Until Next Time...

Yuzo Koshiro Best Collection 2 Titles

Good news! Cocoebiz is listing the following titles will appear in the Yuzo Koshiro Best Collection 2. Super Shinobi and the Bare Knuckle (Streets of Rage) trilogy. Should be quite a treat for those unfamiliar with the music.

The FF Tactics Advance 2 site has some wonderful music when you enter the site. I hope it is in the game.

My latest sketch video features Adol Christin from the Ys series. I used three different versions of Adol's theme for it:

THANKS FOR 3,000 HITS!!

Thank you for visiting my page again!
In keeping with the tradition of posting a special drawing every thousand page views I get, here is Cap'n Crunch, Intergalactic Bounty Hunter! Maybe I'll do a comic with him one day...

Drawing Mega Man part 2!!

As someone who draws very fast, I made this effort to slow down my approach to Drawing MegaMan. The goal is make it easier to see it come together, so I also cut out a lot of my normal sketch lines, keeping it cleaner to see it better. I practice every day and love to draw constantly.
My personal preference for drawing the Blue Bomber is to make him short, like in the original series. In future videos I will include different characters, and also do the taller version MegaMan as featured in MegaMan 8.
I'm no expert of course, and everyone's approach is different. I always start out with simple shapes and build upon them. MegaMan is like a bunch of circles and ovals thrown together. Don't be afraid to draw your lines light and draw through them until you're comfortable with how the shape turns out. You can always go back and erase the guidelines you don't need anymore.

The Music is one of my favorites from MegaMan 8. Hope you enjoy!

YUZO'S BACK

It's great to see Mr. Yuzo Koshiro making waves in game music once again. He recently contributed a number of awesome tracks alongside Michiru Yamane for the Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin soundtrack and now they are re-releasing his classic works along with some fantastic new ones! As a huge fan, I had to pick them up right away.

YUZO KOSHIRO BEST COLLECTION COVER

Volume 1 is out now, and Volume 2 is slated for release on 8/10/2007. It is unknown what will be contained in it as of this post. Don't miss out on the chance to pick up these rare classics without having to pay a fortune for them.

DISC 1: ACTRAISER


DISC 2: MISTY BLUE AND ACTRAISER SOUND BOARD II VERSION


DISC 3: THE STORY OF THOR



The soundtrack to the new Nintendo DS RPG Etrian Odyssey is another of Koshiro's new works. It's Japanese title is Sekaiju no Meikyu. I was so excited when I heard this soundtrack for a couple of reasons. 1. The soundtrack consists entirely of chip music. 2. It's two discs, the first one being the DS Version, and disc 2 is the PC-88 version, which is not only fantastic, but remarkable for someone in this day and age to release new PC-88 music.
That's one reason I am such a huge fan of Yuzo Koshiro, he is not afraid to go back to the roots of game music and make something new from something old. It's really good to see him coming back so strong.
Cocoebiz is currently selling these wonderful soundtracks:

Today I want to thank our troops who are fighting for us. They are at risk daily, often giving their lives in the ultimate sacrifice. Many of us will be busy today, but don't forget to reflect on all those who make it possible for us to live in freedom. Thank you, you all are real heroes!!
