Posted by Anthony in Cool Fan Stuff on May 12th, 2010
I’m going to be editing the Bullet Bill HAWP in a few days, and I’d love to have more art (as it stands I’ll probably have to cut the poem down). Much of the art you guys did when I asked for it before was really awesome; I kinda just want, you know. More. Cause it was awesome.
So, just as a reminder: please do feel free to post fan images of Bullet Bill that might go well with a Maya Angelou-esque poem about him.
Anthony and Ash Burch and Ashley Davis and Justin Yngelmo are writers and game critics who make surreal videos in their spare time (or adorable ones, in Ashley's case). The videos aren't that bad.
Anthony, former features editor for Destructoid and creator of the Rev Rants series (now defunct) currently works at Gearbox Software and co-stars in Anthony Saves the World on The Escapist.
Ash acts in other crap, like the feature-length film Must Come Down, and maintains the blog How Games Saved My Life.
Davis likes to draw Pokémon and under appreciated video game characters on nomarios. She used to do Once Upon a Pixel, which aired on Gametrailers.
Justin constantly shoots web video for everywhere. He's developing a personal website right now.

What, if I may be so bold to ask, is a Bullet Bill?
How’s this?
http://zlxq3000.deviantart.com/art/Mario-s-O-Face-163840696
I don’t know if it’ll work, but I’m willing to do more; I drew that up in about an hour-ish, maybe? I’m not sure how long it took, but it wasn’t a long time; I could definitely do more if necessary.
I can’t draw, so rely on copy and paste. In life, as in drawing.
“I was worthless and pathetic
Even Goombas can change course.”

Eurgh, that doesn’t even count as fanart*, does it? Ah well.
* or ‘good’.
Anthony: Are there any specific scenes you would like to see come to life? I might be able to draw a couple more with that time frame. I’d hate to see the amazing poem you guys came up with get shortened. Checklist perhaps?
For Bowser’s Kingdom!

Hope it’s ok
For ‘My anger boils within me’…

Okay, here’s another one.
For:
“I tried to turn around
To go make the smug one pay”

I want to draw more, but what’s left to draw?
Try and do what most people haven’t been doing and draw what actually pertains to the poem.
Parts of the poem I’m still without illustrations for:
“A “woo hoo!” marks his closeness
A “ya ha!” means it’s time
To free Great Bowser’s kingdom
Of this obese plumber slime
My slanted eyes do sharpen
As the fuse loses its length
And with one grand explosion
I let loose all my strength!
Life slows in that one instant
And I know why I exist”
“I was worthless and pathetic
Even Goombas can change course.”
I just finished my painting a moment ago. It’s the “My slanted eyes do sharpen” part where Bill zooms in on Mario.
I hope what I’ve done isn’t too sloppy. I once had a great idea in mind but I ended up with making something like that >,> Even though it doesn’t look like it I’ve spend a lot of time with this -.-

My lowly attempt for “As the fuse loses its length”:

If it happens to be used for the episode, could I be credited as Steven “Kad” Pagnoni.
Here are couple I did earlier
And I know why I exist”

here’s something i made:

(btw, poot = fart)
I’m not sure if it will fit for anything though :/
In my opinion you should ask Ashley Davis to draw lots of scenes and just complement it with the fanart, beacause at this rate this project will be never completed, tons of fanart is missing to complete just 50% of it.
Greets.
Here’s another from me (I noticed the last link stopped working. But, my hard drive also died the next day, so I haven’t been able to retrieve it.), I hope you guys like it.
It’s a bit overdramatic, but you know how it goes.

Hope that works. Any credit, if you use it, can be to bendrawslife. Hope it helps.
I’d like to say I have a new found respect for all artistic types, but I always respected you guys, and felt bad about that submission up there.
So I tried to do a ‘proper’ one. Except I can’t. Paint is naff, and I can’t draw. So if anyone wants to make a better version of this, go right ahead:

For “and I know why I exist”.
Two images here for the lines:
A “woo hoo!” marks his closeness
A “ya ha!” means it’s time
should be simple to figure out which one is which, and just credit

if there any lines that absolutely need drawings, post the remainders, I’d hate for you to have to cut down your poem. If i get time from work i’ll try to do some more.
Keep up the good work!
knocked out another one this morning for the line:
“Of this obese plumber slime”
Went for a bit of a knock off Basquiat style to show the grotesque nature of our manifest plumber.
http://thatdangguy.com/images/mario_slime_bas_01.jpg
same credit as before, just dan Gutierrez.
That one was fun, should I do another in that style or try to hit a few more looks?
… here is another one,
just use them/ arrange them as you like.
Cheers,
Mexer

I’ve lost track of the lines that are taken already.
Is there still something left?
AAARGH! How did i not know of this? I would have done sooooo much! Now i’m prepping for a convention coming up, so i doubt i’ll have time to get anything done u_u
… hmm,
one short appearance would’ve been great,
booooh!
