Wacom 33: Osuka

[TomFulp]

Artist-Lost has used his new Wacom tablet to create an awesome collage of characters from NG!

The Pixelmas collab is almost done but apparently Mexifry895 is off-line and Emanhattan needs contributors to contact him with their parts!

Today's Wacom tablet winner is Osuka!

Up until now, Osuka has been drawing on paper, scanning it and mousing over it in Flash. For a quick overview, here's his demo reel:

Osuka has participated in a number of collabs over the past three years:

Beat up Sandbag, by QcStorm Type: Movie Rating: Everyone

Phoenix Wrong: Last Stand, by AshfordPride Type: Movie Rating: Ages 17+

Valentine '29, by AlmightyHans Type: Movie Rating: Ages 17+

While there are lots of sprite movies on that list, these solo submissions show off his drawing talent:

Osuka also has an interest in 3D:

Just this month, Osuka bought a crappy, small generic tablet so he could help HadoukenDude with the latest 4 Swords Misadventures:

Osuka was one of the winners of the Metal Gear collab and opted for NG store merch instead of cash. His order took TWO MONTHS to arrive to his local post office, in a bad part of town somewhere in Venezuela. Osuka shared some of his prizes with HadoukenDude, who lives nearby although they met on NG. Now he can share that small tablet he bought with someone, because he's getting a Wacom!

My only fear is the Wacom won't make it to Osuka in his hometown, so everyone close your eyes and say PLEASE LET THIS TABLET ARRIVE SAFELY TO OSUKA.

Last week we invited everyone to post their drawings of Keanu Reeves. The end result was this:

Last December, Esn decided he wanted to learn Flash and contribute something to Christmas 2008. Here is the result, his first ever submission after four years on NG!

Thanks! I'll admit, the most exciting thing about Christmas Day will be not preparing a Wacom post. :)

Except the postmen, they should probably keep their eyes open, otherwise Osuka definitely wont get his tablet.

[HungarianSupermarket]

I come for the congratulations, I stay for the Keanu.

[AllReligiousDrunk]

Hey Tam, give me a Wacom and I'll draw you the most jaw-dropping, sexy, perfect piece of art you could ever see with your eyes.

Also, I celebrate Christmas tomorrow - happy holidays!

[speeling]

Just one more...

Yeah, next year, just compile them all in a big flash and release it on Xmas, and be done with it, that way the users will watch the movie, and get to find out if they have a christmas present of winning a tablet.

Easier, and less hassle <3<3

Traveling for the holiday at all?

[Kenkaku]

Drawing, scanning, AND tracing? Ugh.

All the more reason to hope that Osuka gets his Wacom quickly and safely, eh?

[Whirlguy]

When I first saw Dream Thieves I was very impressed. Grats on your tablet Osuka!

[Spartan204]

Congrats Osuka, I loved you in all your collabs!

Instead of just taking multiple pictures. Try adding some videos.

Happy Holidays.
