A Picture Tells 1000 Lives

For my narrative assignment, I made 6 images recurring to a Warped Reality theme. While all the pictures are of real places around the TCNJ campus, everyone in them is from a video game like Zelda or Pokémon. The main picture is a collaboration of said 6 images, but I'll explain the individual images too.

Picture 1: Pokémon

In this picture, the red ball on campus is discovered by a few Pokémon, who decide to make a few...improvements. And while Togepi (the egg) is quite pleased with Smeargle's (the one painting) latest work, Pikachu found someone who may not be all that enthusiastic about the sudden change. I like how I shaded Pikachu specifically, like he's really in the ball's shadow.

Picture 2: Pikmin

In this picture, we have Captain Olimar with a group of Red Pikmin exploring the side of a tree bulge. I found a great image of him at an angle, as if we were looking down on him from above. The Pikmin were hard to keep track of though...

Picture 3: Three-Way Race

This picture has Super Mario, Kirby, and Sonic the Hedgehog having a race down one of the longer roads on campus, with Mr.Game&Watch at the starting line. Sonic and Kirby turned out well, but I could of got Mario's trail from the Launch Star better. They all have different filters to show how different their game styles are.

Picture 4: Legend of Zelda

Here, we have our Hero of Time Link working on his marksmanship with that dog from Duck Hunt. While the ducks are OK, Link's much more interested in whatever is in that present dangling from the balloon. I loved how the background looked, but I should have made Link look more cartoony to blend in better.

Picture 5: Kirby

Oh jeez. Kirby found the dessert section in Eickhoff, complete with some rare treats, like Strawberry Shortcake. While Kirby may be divided into 10 beings, his appetite remains as whole as ever! If one looks carefully, we can find Meta Knight eyeing the sweets too...

Picture 6: Mario & Sonic

Rivals since long ago, Mario and Sonic are always competing at something, but today seems like a rest day for some. Mario, Princess Peach, and Toadsworth are relaxing in the shade of a tree outside the IMM building, ignoring both Bowser Junior, Wario and Waluigi. Meanwhile, Sonic and his nemesis Dr.Eggman are at it again. This time however, Sonic has teamed up with his "Classic" self from the past, to fight an old foe: Metal Sonic!
