Electro Swoosh




In doing a lot of drawing based on the EB characters and enemies, I spend a good deal of time looking through the original sprites for inspiration and reference. There are some though, that I figure I'll never get to, just because they're not as visually exciting as others.

The Electro Swoosh fit into the "not interesting enough to draw" category for me for a good, long time, before I decided to send a little love and affection its way. I tried to re-think it a bit, had some fun and come up with this, and I'm glad that I did.

Making drawings based on some of EB's small sprites can pose an interesting challenge, since some sprites don't have battle images or clay models to reference.

So part of that challenge lies in trying to figure out just what a pixel or two might or might not represent. And another element of dificulty can come from trying to get away from the "short and squat", nearly "superdeformed" kind of style that those sprites were presented in, in typical old-school Nintendo fashion.

A number of the Healer's visual elements were thus "made up" based on such pixel interpretation.
