Over a hundred faves now! W00!!!

Now on Equestria Daily's Drawfriend #617! I honestly don't know how you EqD guys found this, but I am extremely grateful for this swell feature, and all the comments and faves I got just all of a sudden because of that. So thank you, EqD...you rock my world!

It's 2049 and Equestria's cities, forests and icecaps are fouled with toxic sludge. Ponykind has escaped to the stars, leaving mechanical "orbots" to clean up.

One powerful orbot, Raster, oversees the clean-up through a planetwide ComNet. Tragedy strikes when Discord, coming back a third time, uses his chaos magic to scramble Raster's master control circuits.

"WarHead" is born, and he stands for tyranny, hatred and oppression. By WarHead's decree, Equestria is forged into an instrument of death for the returning ponies.

VectorMare lands her space barge after delivering a load of sludge to the sun. Unhindered by evil mind control or Discord's magic, she will not rest until WarHead is defeated and Equestria is again free.

Well that's what you get when you have someone like me who grew up a Sega kid during the early-mid 90s, owned both Vectorman games (though I didn't beat 2 until early 2000) and during his adulthood discovered MLP and became a brony. So I thought to combine one of my childhood interests with one of my current ones, and the result is what you see here.

Btw, I greatly appreciate the comment and fave coming from someone who can actually draw...I seem to be cursed with having a good portion or most of my commenters, favers and watchers having sparse galleries only containing either art created using a generator (like Pony Creator or Pimp My Gun) or worse yet, just pictures they didn't draw themselves and just found on Google Images, or completely empty galleries. It actually kinda feels like an insult, as the artists who can draw at my level, or above or slightly below my skill level never seem to talk to me. I seem to be a magnet for nobodies...*sigh*

You mean people who treat DA like if it was Photobucket? :P

Well it's a really great picture :)
Really impressive redesign and still totally screams of vectorman.

Now I can't help but to wonder how other classic game characters would look in pony form, like:
Dynamite Headdy, Ristar, Alien Soldier, Shatterhand, Strider, Metalstorm, etc :)

Yeah exactly...

Awesome, I'm glad I succeeded in recreating the Vectorman "look." I suppose this could be one of his morphs! That is, if Vectorman was a brony...

Oooh, Alien Soldier! I love that game! I was actually working on a modern redesign of Epsilon Eagle (the protagonist) back in December, it had nothing to do with ponies though. Now I may want to draw Epsilon as a pony, or perhaps a gryphon. Metal Storm was another great game, though I was never able to beat it.

Yeah metalstorm gets a bit tricky towards the end.
Really love the NES and Megadrive, they're the two main systems I collect for :)

They have so many platformers and run'n'gun games that you can collect :D
Power Blade was another goodie, loved the soundtrack throughout that one as much as Shatterhand.

The Megadrive (or Genesis here in the States) is one of my absolute favorite consoles ever made, and my definite favorite retro home console. I like it more than the SNES, a lot more, even if the SNES was more technically advanced. I happen to love the sound of FM synthesis, which is one of the main reasons I love the Genesis and its YM2612 sound chip. Also, its less-advanced graphics capabilities when compared to the SNES made it all the more impressive when a game came around that pushed the system's hardware to its absolute limits. Treasure was famous for doing this with Alien Soldier and Gunstar Heroes (two of my absolute favorite Genesis games,) which is why they are one of my favorite retro developers.

Well of course the Megadrive/Genesis is but one of my many favorite consoles...my favorite 3D consoles are the N64 and the Xbox 360 (though I wasn't a big fan of the original Xbox, Halo being the only series starting on original Xbox that I enjoyed back then, even if it IS my favorite modern game franchise and the main reason we're an Xbox household now,) but back to retro 2D platforms, I am also a big fan of the Amiga as well as old PCs with MS-DOS, Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. There were some great computer games back in the time period from the late-80s through the mid-90s.

Yeah the MD soundchip is just superb.
I often hear people complain about it having poor sound quality,
but they obviously haven't listened to Ristar's soundtrack and stuff like "Transparent Obstacles" from the Gauntlet 4 soundtrack.

I too wasn't a big fan of the SNES whatsoever, the sound quality is too muffled but it does suit well for more orchestral soundtracks,
while the MD/Genny is more fitted for rock'ish or techno/trance'ish soundtracks (Vectorman, Combat Cars, Batman and Robin, etc).

It's also good because the restricted amount of colors on screen at once made the developers use interesting color combinations.
The SNES didn't have as limited on-screen colors, so the graphics often became washed out and messy because there wasn't enough contrast.

Overall I find the SNES to be more of a console for RPG enthusiasts while MD is more for platformers and shooters (more to my liking).
I also have a Amiga A600 which I play some good ol' "Global Gladiators" and "Ruff 'n' Tumble" on now and then.
