2015 - GOLDEN AXE 2 by Vandrell on DeviantArt

For the simple love to the pixel, here is my second tribute to the golden axe series, particularly to Golden Axe 2, exclusive of the sega mega drive. A lot of experimentation in some terms, and the perfect canvas to put together some of the things that I've been practicing in all my last works. Long live to golden axe!

Gracias por regalarnos ante la vista otra gran pieza de tu magnifico trabajo con nada mas y nada menos que otro clásico del arcade de la old school.
Si viene en camino el cover del Golden Axe 3 (y espero que si se venga por que muero de ganas por verlo) lo voy a poner como fondo de pantalla en mi escritorio por lo menos un año entero.

Muchas gracias por tus palabras ^^ La verdad es que bocetos y ideas para otros muchos juegos de la época tengo, lo que me falta tiempo. Entre ellos como no, golden axe 3. Con lo que me gusta esta saga no te extrañe que algún día, lo termine pintando.

This reminds me of that one artist, i cant remember his name. He painted scenes like this .

Vandrell Featured By Owner Feb 13, 2016 Professional

There are so many artists that do that kind of compositions, but if it reminded any of them, for me it's a great thing. Thanks!!

Any chance of GA3?

Vandrell Featured By Owner Feb 13, 2016 Professional

Maybe. I'm a big fan of this saga, and sketches and ideas for a golden axe 3, are on my desk since longtime.

i can just hear the lamentation of the women from this picture.
great job man

Vandrell Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2015 Professional

Wow if you can hear the lamentation, means that I nailed it xD. Thanks!!

CaptainVigilante Featured By Owner Jun 16, 2015 Professional General Artist

Death Adder is...freakin awesome~!

Vandrell Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2015 Professional

Thanks xD, but this guy was Dark guld, an imitator of death adder, that takes the rol of the bad guy in golden axe 2. Although Death adder will be always cooler, I still likes this character, and in this illustration I try to do my best on him.

CaptainVigilante Featured By Owner Sep 9, 2015 Professional General Artist

Huh... wow I didn't even know that. Then again I'm not surprised considering how often the cast was changed in Golden Axe... but not really changed, just imitators of the original cast.

renslo689 Featured By Owner Jun 16, 2015 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

awesome work man. did you use Arnie for inspiration for Ax Battler?

Vandrell Featured By Owner Sep 7, 2015 Professional

Yes of course. In the first illustration that I did in 2013, I tried to give to ax battler that Arnie feeling, and for golden axe 2 I repeat again. Maybe if someday I paint one illustration of golden axe 3, I'll change the inspiration, and maybe Stern Blade will be more like the rock.
