Eighties Wide Screen Racing
Pixel art for today. Based on screenshot from videogame Knight Rider Special. For system Turbo Grafx. This is like some racing videogame with elements of action.
I have made this style of drawing by myself. And I want to tell about it. About idea, that is connected with drawing. Just now it is only a drawing. This is racing about eighties. Style of eighties. Of course, it is also about a music of eighties – it is Lian Ross, Fancy, Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi. And retrowave music, Johnny Ola, Nothern Lights, Night Habit, and many many others. Retrowave, there are lots of them. Music – is going very good to describe a style. So music- is very important. Game is in genre of racing. City racing, just like street racing. Night and day. This is 8 bit need for speed in my version. So, you are in a city, and it is a city traffic. Casual drivers. Casual drivers, they ride by theirs own way, while you are in a racing. So, be careful!
One more theme – wide screen picture format. I mean, this black lines top and down. For style. Just like widescreens movies of old times. So, I have seen these in a movies. This is element for style. So in terms of wide screen I mean only these black lines.
I think, that racing will be around the world. This is like globalization, internationalism. Racing will be in Japan, America, Europe, Soviet Union. So this is my 80s. Personally, I am very upset about collapse of Soviet Union. Eighties- it is also unique car style. And some cities, village landscape, nature, big cities.
So we have here a stylization for eighties here. So pink or dark blue texts. Of course, at now, I am not a master of programming, in order to give everything that I draw on format of videogames. But I wish that I will make this jump in intelligence, at one time, someday. Someday this will happen. So just now, I stay more as a drawing.
