Electro Swoosh - by ozwalled

In doing a lot of drawing based on the EB characters and enemies, I spend a good deal of time looking through the original sprites for inspiration and reference. There are some though, that I figure I'll never get to, just because they're not as visually exciting as others.

The Electro Swoosh fit into the "not interesting enough to draw" category for me for a good, long time, before I decided to send a little love and affection its way. I tried to re-think it a bit, had some fun and come up with this, and I'm glad that I did.

ozwalled	Woolier Shambler	Having made my first Shambler attempt look more shaggy than wooly (see?), I messed around a bit with it for a quick, filtered fix. Well, even though I got better results than I expected with a "fur" filter, I thought he looked "fluffy" more than anything, like he'd just been put into a clothes dryer and came out all cozy and warm. :) A fun experiment though!	4/26/05	0.00
ozwalled	Psychic Psycho	"But it's the Major one you want to fight." I'd started this one pondering the idea that the Psychic Psycho wasn't so much on fire, but that his suit has become a sort of psyonically-generated living flame. Well, I goofed somehwere along the way in drawing it and saved it as a png and its layers weren't preserved... Oh well. I abandonned it but submitted it anyway, 'cause it still was looking kinda' cool.	4/27/05	0.00
ozwalled	Criminal Caterpillar	"Don't get the gray swirl!". A Criminal Catepillar on a desert background (which was fun to draw). I still can't believe that I forgot to draw his arms. x_x	4/27/05	8.00
ozwalled	Handsome Tom	"Handsomely Handsome Puppet". I'm a big fan of Threed's Handsome Tom. Sure, it was merely an alternate palette version of Smilin' Sam, but come ON! He's a puppet/ dummy that has purple skin and white hair. How creepy is THAT? And how creepy is the person who'd have made him? Handsome Tom is cool.	4/26/05	0.00
ozwalled	Mr. Molecule Trapped in a Crystal	"Help!" Mr. Molecule is one of those enemies that just about anyone could draw, due to its simplicity. I wanted to draw him too, but do something different. I thought about trying to assemble a large, compound mollectule out of Mr. Mollecules but decided against it, figuring it'd be better suited at a 3D artist. So I decided on a regular formation of Mr. Mollecules, to form a magnified bit of crystal. I made the "atom" balls a bit on the blurry side to illustrate the "whirlingness" of their electrons. ;P	4/27/05	0.00
