Artist's Comments

Before we begin, this, my friends, is NOT MewTwo from Pokemon. Nope, not even a little. Hell, I didn't even think it resembled him in the slightist until someone pointed it out. *shakes fist*

Educate yourself, foolish ugly Earth People. This is Giegue, an evil alien, destined to become the Universal Cosmic Destroyer known as Giygas.

He cannot be defeated by any weapon, any psychic power, any conventional means. He is, in essense, undefeatable... Except by music. haha

Anywho, a day or so ago, I decided that I needed to do some Mother 1 (Earthbound 0) art, since I really haven't done any. Giegue seemed like a good choice, and so I sketched out a few things. I liked this idea so much, I ran with it.

Whipped up the initial line drawing with my tablet, which I'm finally getting the feel for. Did some shading, then used a digital watercolour brush to get the background all... watery and awesome.

I'm very proud of this thing, actually. Sure, it's in black and white and some people skip over stuff like that, but I think it's one of my best works. Since I'm finally getting the essential hang of using the tablet properly, I'll be able to make drawings look a little more natural than they used to on the PC.

Any comments on stuff you see is wrong would be welcome. And so is praise and awe.

But remember children: This isn't MewTwo. Call him that and I will cry :(

You're missing his tale, and I'd like to see a more "alien" type of body anatomy. This one cuts it too close to human. There's not really too much more than that I can say for now. I myself am working on making a Giegue and I thinks it's quiet obvious that you've got it nearly perfect to the Earthbound art. Truly amazing. I'd really like a colored version but that's your call. Not much else that I can say on it right now. I really like how this one came out. So I hope that you can use what I said. Thought it not too much.... If you want any actually art talk then I'd say shade the tubes more, they're pretty dark and I'd love to see a different contrast between them and Giegue himself. Good Luck ;3

good lighting and shadowing... i'd love to see a colored version :)

Yup. It still looks awesome in BW. It's very expressive. I didn't know Giegue was also Gyigas. I never even got to Giegue, heck, I stayed stuck in those factories near that 2nd town you visit last time I played. I hope Mother 3 comes here to the US as Earthbound 2!!!!

Giegue is awesome. I've barely begun crawling through Mother 1 on Mother 1+2 whilst learning Japanese (I only understand the occasional phrase or word while talking to NPCs, though I can read and understand all of the PSI and most of the item names), but I've seen more than enough to make a decision, not to mention he's also Giygas (proven by Mother 2's tiny subtitle "Giigu no gyakushu," meaning "Giegue's Counter-Attack/Revenge"), so he would still get my awesomeness vote either way. I've rambled long enough, but keep up the good work!

I just posted a comment!

I won't say anything about Mewtwo - except that he would look foolish and harmless when compared to this guy. Nice job!

Sexy Giegue! Brings me back memories of when I cleared Mother for the first time.
:icondalten:
ugh, how can someone call him Mewtwo?!
Show respect for Giegue!Man, i should play earthbound again, it's been so long
:icondarkharry:
Yay! Giegue!
Don't know him very much cause I've never cleared Mother 1...
Anyways, he rocks!

i think mewtwo is sweet but i still know about Giygas, at least a little. i never heard of Giegue, i just know of Giygas, who ended up becoming so evil it/he couldn't control himself and Pokey was like using that evil against the robot heros.. whatever. this is a really cool picture and i am going to face it ^^

i love your work, and EB fanart is even more amazing

but off subject....what do you think about the mother 3 anouncement? I'm thinking they might release mother 1+2 over here a little before they release mother 3 so we can play them all in the states.

It has no feet! :o But, the weird feet-tentacles and back cords are really nifty... I like the design all together. :3 The background/capsule looks really awesome and blendy, too.
