This one's for the ladies

I know I just published a post about Aled Lewis (aka fatheed) on Friday, but I'm publishing another one today because I thought the ladies--and straight gents--who frequent this blog may get a kick out of the London-based designer's latest piece of pixel art:


According to Lewis, this image--of Street Fighter II's Chun Li and Super Street Fighter II's Cammy--was inspired by Tanya Chalkin's iconic Kiss photograph.

Yes, some of this artist's pieces would make great posters -- or t-shirts!

Oh damn this brings back memories. In high school I was friends with so many lesbians and the poster this pixel art is inspired by was ALWAYS in their rooms.

Honestly I'd love to get a print of this and hang it in my game rood. It'd be a great conversation piece :P.

Bryan Ochalla said...

Yes, Nuts, please do that!

Marcus: I have to admit I wasn't all that aware of the original 'Kiss' photo before Lewis pointed it out. Of course, I'm not exactly into girl-on-girl action :)

Anyway, I'm glad others are enjoying Lewis' stuff!

I've seen the original photo before, but I hadn't made the connection when I saw this on his site. I did think that it would make a great blog post over here, though, when I saw it. And here it is!

I still love it.

Bryan Ochalla said...

Ah, so you're keeping an eye on his site, too? That's great :) He definitely seems to update frequently, and I obviously love his stuff.

Now he needs to do an all-guy version -- maybe with Ken and Ryu? I kind of doubt that's going to happen, though :(

Viewtiful_Justin said...

Heck yes. Blanca and Zangheif. Dhalsam and Guile?

RetroKingSimon said...

Sweet! Cammy is awsome. Chun-Li is awesome. Cammy and Chun-Li doing stuff is too awesome for words! :P

Bryan Ochalla said...

Justin: I *really* don't want to imagine Dhalsam making out with anyone -- man or woman!

Bryan Ochalla said...

Ha ha! Why am I not surprised that this image caused quite a reaction?

No posts from the ladies, though. What's up with that?

Viewtiful_Justin said...

LOL I thought that'd get a rise out of someone...

Blanka vs. Dhalsim would be particularly "iffy" in my mind :)
