So Retrogasm 2019 has kicked off and continuing the trend from last year I am doing another RPG heroine from childhood favorites. This time I am taking on Rena from Star Ocean: The Second Story. Slightly redesigning and modernizing while updating the style from pure anime to something more akin to FFXV or FFVII Remake…
Hey polycounters! So i'v started another thing. (I KNOW, I'M TERRIBLE.) But i just had to join in the Retrogasm 2018 contest. Sylvanas is on hold for now. So for anyone who doesn't know what Retrogasm is: you need to take an existing character from 6th generation of console or before. I chose to do Argilla from Digital…
Hi! Time for retrogasm! So i started like a week ago but thinking about creating a thread here on the forums. Now, here I am! Goal: Modelling Celes from Final Fantasy VI. Gathering reference. here is the original concept from Yoshitaka Amano, I love his style because he expresses forms with his own sketchy style. I want to…
Hi guys, I'm posting here my progress on my Retrogasm Art Competition entry. Basically I'm taking Zelda from Twilight Princess and slightly redesign her with a firekeeper (Dark Souls) mood.

I initially was going to keep it simple and make the beast version of the main character. But then, I thought that would be kind of boring, especially in…
Newest Update: Hi everyone! I realised I hadn't been posting my updates to my Retrogasm entry here, so I will make a thread to post my progress. I am creating the main character from the PS1 game, Digimon World. Brilliant game that 100% needs remaking! You can see how the original character looked in the images below. I…
Hey everyone! I will be creating a Viera NPC from Final Fantasy XII for Retrogasm 2018. The goal of the competition is to take an old (PS2 and back) character and get it up to today's standards. Style can range from handpainted to full realistic PBR. I chose to do a generic Viera NPC, to give myself some leeway to concept…
Hey! I've picked Epic MegaGames's Jill of the Jungle character for Retrogasm 2018. A memorable shareware DOS platformer I was lucky enough to play on XT and 286.
