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?

Parappa's Live RAP with MC King Kong Mushi ~ (Parappa the Rappa OST)
Got To Move! ~ (Um Jammer Lammy OST)
This is My Happiness - Tom Jones a Go-Go Mix ~ (Space Channel 5.2 Nonstop Megamix)
Without a Fight (game version) ~ (Elite Beat Agents Gamerip)
Jumpin' Jack Flash (game version) ~ (Elite Beat Agents Gamerip)

...And any of your other favorite game soundtracks that rock you so hard you have to get up and dance.

WOO~!

Pepper looked Tony sternly in the eye. She then, without losing face, pulled her shirt over her head, tossed it aside, and pointed sharply at her chest. "Boobs, Mr. Stark."
How do you get to be so awesome?

I was looking for an Ouendan cheerleader and I was like "D:" until I saw Ryuta hiding half way out of the screen then I was like ":'D" Totally awesome. I need to play those games...

I have trouble expressing how awesome this is in words so I really have no choice but to use the "I have trouble expressing this" fallback.
