Demakes of Contemporary Games

This is kind of super-awesome; a forum post with a bunch of “demakes” of video games created by this artist for a gaming mag. It’s like taking the iconic imagery of the last few years and boiling it down to a pixel art minimalist style.

Many of these were made quick and dirty (relatively speaking) in order to make deadlines, so they’re not all that pretty to look at. But I figured I should post them somewhere so they don’t just gather dust on my hard drive. Any feedback is of course appreciated.

This guy needs a blog where he posts these as he makes them. They’re amazing.
