UPDATE 2/28/13: Added my own version of the Battletoads logo to give it that "mock official" promo look for Palette Swap's anything goes month. Rusty's been wanting me to polish this one up for the blog for quite a while now. =P

Well, this was a fun composition to work on! Infinitely easier than the game itself, though still something of a workload.

Mimicked the overall color scheme of the original game box art (greens/earthen hues over warm purples) but really played up the 'Toads' stylistic similarities to the Ninja Turtles.

Besides, how much unique fanart do you really see of the Battletoads?

My favorites are Rash (in the shades and bandanna) and the charging Blag (fat, rat-possum thing in front of the Dark Queen) just because of how I posed them.
Made for printing at 11"x17"!

Battletoads and related characters are properties of… Rare? I think?

That game. That GAAAME. I think I may have beaten it all of once in my childhood. Anyway, this piece brought back those awesome times. Battletoads... I played that game so much. It's been too long. They should bring it back! At least on the DS...

Not to nitpick, but Zitz wears full-on gloves.

Other than that, Awesome work!

This makes me intensely happy. They never looked badder. Makes me break out into a joy rash. Or joy pimples. Or zits.

I decided a few years ago that I can't die until I beat that game.
