Title: 3D Pokedex
Date Completed: May 2013
Design: Lord Libyan
Video Game: Pokemon
This is something I’ve been throwing around for a while, and my previous 3D Pokemon character was a test bed for this project. I think the sizing is perfect.

Title: Building Our Future Retro Futuristic Poster
Date Completed: February 2013
Design: Lord Libidan
The first in a new folly into digital art, this retro futuristic poster was originally just a weekend project, however as time progressed it became a long term project.
Its a satirical take on the retro futurism of the 20th century with its various influences and themes.
The city scape and high rises are to show the grander of the period and hopes for becoming something great with theories that the space ship and blimp would still be in use in the future. Additionally the atom is to represent the drive for a science ‘miracle’ and the untapped world atomic energy could bring, but also a joke on an aspect often found in retro futuristic posters, that despite it not relating to the poster in anyway.

Title: Neptune The Ocean City Retro Futuristic Poster
Date Completed: April 2013
Design: Lord Libidan
This is the second in my satirical take on retro futurism using similar themes from the first, however focusing on a more oceanic setting which relates to the modern crowd and games such as Bioshock.

Title: Fallout 3 VATS Embroidery
Date Completed: March 2013
Design: Lord Libyan
Video Game: Fallout 3
When I gave embroidery a try last year, it was a bit too simple for my liking. However, I got inspiration to try again after seeing a piece in the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
This is based upon the iconic VATS system in Fallout 3 and New Vegas.

Title: 3D Pokemon Character
Date Completed: March 2013
Design: Lord Libyan
Video Game: Pokemon
This was actually a test I’ve had planned for just over a year. The sprite has been split into multiple levels and stitched on plastic canvas on top of each other, making the sprite look like its coming out of the page, and that the perspective it correct.
Whilst it does work, I think scaling up of this idea would not.
The sprite was a combination of Pokemon Red/Blue and Gold/Silver main characters.

After being in the Cross Stitcher last year, when they looked into the idea of doing a bookazine, they asked me to be one of the ‘to watch’ artists! Take that!

Title: Hello My Name Is Gary
Date Completed: March 2013
Design: Lord Libyan
Count: 14
Video Game: Fallout 3
This one was for another Sprite Stitch competition and was a welcome break to the epic project I’m currently working on.
The brief was originally minimalism, but it kind of got out of hand.
Its based upon a joke in Fallout 3 where a vault is filled with clones all named Gary.
