Having now played both Bioshock and Bioshock 2 and loving the art style, I did a bit of research into it and decided to try my hand at a bit or Art Deco.  In keeping with the sort of cityscape themes of Bioshock, I decided to create a small poster for the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, the world's tallest structure.  It's made from a public domain vector graphic of the Burj Khalifa and combined with various other aspects of Art Deco, namely the colours and use of fonts and certain shapes (like the alternating sun-ray pattern). I also played through the rest of Dead Space recently and enjoyed that.  Alan Wake was also a very enjoyable experience, and

New Art!

Yay.  I was able to upload my new art which I did as the cover for a Web Magazine.  This qualifies as my only DevArt for the whole year of 2008, and it wasn't even posted in that year.  At least it's up now though.  It was nice to use my tablet again.

I should probably upload something new. I have a few ideas for some art that I have been meaning to get rolling, so maybe we'll see those soon. That's all for now! Xander

YO! I know you

You are one of the first creators of Custom Sprites in the mid-2000s

Hello. How much were you involved with Captainn.network? Were you friends with the owner?
Also, did you create this? tsgk.captainn.net/index.php?p=…
In that case, It's far late but I used it to make a character of my own and I did drop a permission everywhere I hoped you would have noticed but I'm just letting you so you know.
Yep, that's me.

I was involved with the site, yes, and I did know the owner.

Got a link to the character you made? I'd be delighted to see it. 
Hello.

I was always a secret admirer of Captainn.network and shy-guy kingdom. I didn't make myself known to any there cuz my english sucked badly way back then in early 00s.
I did get into sprite comics eventually, though.

About your spritesheet.
I needed a Hammer Bro. and yours was the perfect I needed, for any official nintendo's own sprite of a hammer bro was not good enough.
I did try to ask you permission every mail box that was designated to you in many websites but never got a reply so I decided that had to carry on without it for I really really wanted to use this sprite of yours.
I used this sprite for a certain hammer bro OC I made called Harry for an old comic I made maybe 10 years ago. I redid the comic some years ago.
Harry is a hammer bro who becomes a major villain to a group of renegade anti-bowser mario villains who form a group and go super-squad vigilante. In both version he tries to usurp Bowsers power with a power star but ends up becoming a cyborg-electro-terminator-lookalike and takes the title "Baron" for wanting to be royalty.

The redone version of my comic is here. I'll skip right to the part where your sprire comes in, but feel free to read the whole story if you want.

The old comic is here and contains lots of typos and fuzzines and you can see why update was in order.

Awesome! Sorry for the delayed reply. I don't check DA very often anymore. For the record, my current email address is davidjclarke@gmail.com :)

Glad you liked the site and sprites! Sprite comics were the original reason I started making sprites, Wario Comix, specifically, which doesn't exist anymore, sadly. It's always great to know someone found a use for the sprites I made all those years ago! I've even seen some used by College Humor in their Mario shorts -- I think they call that section Dorkly now.

Best of luck with all your future sprite endeavors!
I hope you haven't given up spriting, because :iconqwertyuiopasd1234567: and I love your sprites.
Very kind of you to say. :) I still make sprites, though usually for small projects that I am working on.
