Artist's Comments

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~!

ZOMG, Taiko Drum Master! I wish they would've imported more of these to the US.

I may only be half familiar with the cast of this picture, but I know a heartfelt ROCK when I see it.
It's an excellent piece with a great atmosphere and you gotta have Toejam and Earl.
:iconbanondorf:
Oh I'm sure Toejam and Earl wish to be on stage.

I would like points for creativity over execution.... because I don't really like executing people.

HOLY S***. :wow:

Damn, this is just pure 100% ice cold awesome right here!! I love music & rhythm games, & this baby has all of my favorites in one place. Brilliantly, perfectly drawn & full of colorful fun little details, especially with the numerous cameos (note the guitar Lammy is holding)! XD

So bravo, bravo, bravo, but one thing I gotta ask...What song do you think theyre playing right now...=P
