Evolution of Matt Like Swords

Share

Matt-Likes-Swords anniversary on Newgrounds is turning 11 in June 12 so I decided to illustrate a fan art for him based on the pixel art style of appearance in RPG from the Family Computer era to the Playstation era in order. Cats included (sorry no Kitty Krew allowed :) ).

Enjoy looking every sprite with this link that will suffice it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ptfyhBjXj8

WOW! I LIKE OF EVOLUTION OF THE VIDEOGAMES! 5 STARS FOR YOU! :D

ScepterDPinoy responds:

Why did I deserve 5 stars? Is it because I don't make rushed art?

This is how you know you are getting old. You talk about something that lies back more then 10 years and yet it happened after the millennium...
