Atariboy2600 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I got a commission to do a label box art for an upcoming Atari 2600 homebrew game title Mr. Yo-Yo and after I was done with the artwork I was think what if there was an classic 1980s TV animated style commercial all hand drawn from start to end like the the first scene you see Mr. Yo-Yo jump down a hole trying to save a music note where he's being attacked by some bad critters. Than the next scene I had to hand draw a close up view a the in game sprite as they would had done back than than you see some game play done by the programmer who made this game. And then the last seen you see my own Atari 2600 (Vader model) I use by taking a photo of it and hand drew Mr. Yo-Yo jumping down and saving the Note. 02.mp4 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecernosoft Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hilarious! (Although, it doesn't quite give me that 1980's Atari commercial feeling) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 AT first when I was doing the box art and model sheet for both the main characters I was think that no one ever did a retro 80s tv commercial on any homebrew games and I knew how to do animation on my Clip Studio paint Pro so I came up with this under a week from storyboard to pencil animation and a like 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy2600 Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Here's a retro VHS stile video image of the animation as if someone taped the tv ad from the 80s 01.mp4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Awesome! Or should I say Radical!? (To the Max)! I think you've captured an 80's vibe quite well, which is easier said than done sometimes... When it's over ya just have to imagine a voice saying, Now back to Battle of the Planets!* *or whichever Saturday morning 80's cartoon...I tried to choose one at random, from a long YouTube video with Every 80's cartoon intro, but kept clicking on lame ones, ones I didn't like, ones I didn't watch, afternoon or PBS cartoons, or just stuff I've never heard of... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
