So this is the one. This is the one that kept me from updating for so long.
This started as a simple Elite Beat Agents picture with some other music game character being recruited into the agency. I kept changing things and before long the idea had shifted to this... huge video game character rock orgy.
I kept adding characters, changing positions, scapping characters... I coudn't settle on anything for the longest time but now it's done so there.
Despite the prolonged conception, this was a lot of fun to work on. I actually did a lot of research about music and rhythm games to find obscure characters people knew and loved. For those on-stage, I tried to stick to characters from games where you were a participant in the music itself, but I slipped KK Slider and DJ K in there because I love the crap out of them. Lots of little nods to all sorts of stuff in here. Anybody spot them all?
Anyway. I hope to sell a nice, framed version of this at Otakon this year. So here's hoping!
Suggested listening for this piece to boost the live concert feeling?
