Hrngh, Cassette Beasts... Captain Judas from Cassette Beasts

It was a big part of my childhood too, and I still think it's one of the greatest things to ever exist. I'm really glad you enjoy these pieces! I do have more but the 4 image limit is a pain

Damn straight

I based my interpretation of young David on this PW illustration, just with the blue uniform of the in-game sprites

You, artist! Show me your Yoji Shinkawa inspired work!

Might as well give some pointers on how I figured this style out: You start with the idea or a reference, then make it high contrast. Then you add detail to the black with white. Use black and white to imply shapes and facial muscles, instead of drawing everything.

Yoji Shinkawa style tip: A standout detail in Shinkawa's art is the way he draws faces. The lines he draws appear to emphasize the shape of the skull, facial muscles and fat in a stylized manner.

Notice how with the portrait illustrations with a lot of broken silhouette, there are still the focal parts that have at least some parts of a clear outline.

Yoji Shinkawa style tip: Silhouettes help define the subject and make it readable. Shinkawa shows that you can break that silhouette in some places to give it more visual interest without affecting readability.
