If Bayonetta is, indeed, such a game, I'll really have to pick it up at some point.<br /><br />As for Planet Harriers: It's too bad Sega's never ported it to one of the consoles. Who knows, maybe they'll bring it to PSN or XBLA someday. If not, hopefully MAME catches up sooner rather than later.<br /><br />I also love the idea of a homemade Space Harrier homage, BTW. Oh, and I'm ALL for a female protagonist. I know I'm gay, so I probably should want to play as guys (or at least see and interact with them) all the the time, but I actually prefer female leads most of the time.Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-3113657821833034582012-01-22T22:40:34.035-08:002012-01-22T22:40:34.035-08:00I really need to pick up Bayonetta too - it's ...I really need to pick up Bayonetta too - it's such a SEGA love-letter. I've played it some, just never owned my own copy.<br /><br />But back to Space Harrier. One of my all-time favorites, because it just screams VIDEO GAMES to me. I'm desperate to play Planet Harriers, but I don't think I'll be able to do it outside of emulation, if that ever catches up. It just sits there in MAME, taunting me with the NON-WORKING tag.<br /><br />I've dabbled off and on with my own homages, but never been very serious. And my protagonist is usually female, sorry :D<br /><br />Also, your work is gorgeous, Darwin.coolpowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520235806041803430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-3192429344470667032012-01-22T00:34:04.715-08:002012-01-22T00:34:04.715-08:00Kaze: Oh, yes, I think I saw the Shadow of the Col...Kaze: Oh, yes, I think I saw the Shadow of the Colossus piece on Google+, or maybe on Darwin's Flickr photostream? Regardless, I agree that it's great.<br /><br />You don't need to worry about tempting me to buy Bayonetta: I've been feeling the temptation for some time now! I'll get it eventually, don't worry :)Bryan Ochallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256591698209804728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20740650.post-38575266273110445242012-01-22T00:13:43.186-08:002012-01-22T00:13:43.186-08:00YAYYYY Darwin!!

It's not exactly your typical pixel work, though, is it?
