It's been a bit over a month since I moved to Buenos Aires Argentina now. So far everything's going fine.
My thesis was properly defended, at least the 2/3 of it, still one more stage to finish it.

And I was surprised that the guys from Nintendo-FC chose my picture of Mike Jones as the winning entry to their Super Smash Bros. Newcomer contest.

And the winners are...

In the Judge's Section:

First Place:

with Newcomer Mike
*Diegichigo Really caught the judges' attention by bringing the oldie but goodie to life for our Smash Brothers contest. Mike Jones, star of the (once?) popular Star Tropics NES video game enters the brawl bringing with him many moves from the game. The artist has shown us visually several of his moves and even on his own stage. You just really knocked this one out of the ballpark - we ADORE this entry immensely. And, we were actually surprised to find not only this entry, but two other entries with Mike in them! Here's hoping he makes it into the next game. Here are the other two if you're interesting in this great character: [link] , [link]

Well there you have it. A picture made with pure effort was worth it in the end.

Which inspired me to finally start a little project I had a two months ago. It's already in the works, and it's Super Smash Bros. related of course. It'll be an animation. In fact, it'll be my most ambitious 2D animation project so far. I'm not sure I'll be able to leave it a SWF (flash) file, so if it ends up being a video, I'll post the link here instead.


On other projects, I made a couple of pics I'd love to color and upload, but I don't have a scanner over here yet, so I'll have to wait in the dark for a while until I get my hands on one.

StarTropics 0 is still being made, I want to have a good story, so I need to flesh it out more and more.
