N+ Design January 2012: Plants vs Zombies

, , ,

Happy New Year everybody! What better way to bring in the new year with a new banner for the site? This time... I decided to draw from one of my new recent favorite game... Plants vs Zombies! In this scene, Zombie Anton and guest star Karen are hungry for Crazy Dustin Wilson's brains! But Crazy Dustin has his defenses ready... the jayvee Squash, Wall-nut Mason, and Peashooter Meagan are ready to defend him from the Zombie attack!

Basically, my whole life I have been pretty good at drawing just regular cartoon characters. But, when it comes to realistic humans... I struggle a little bit. So tackling this project was really good learning experience for me. I really want to learn how to do more artwork thats outside my comfort zone. I think it turned out a lot better then I could ever have hoped for!

Thank you again everyone for letting me share my artwork with you multiple times a year! I hope you all have a fantastic 2012! bigsmile

September 2011 N+ Banner: Starfox 64

, , , ...

So this month, I decided to make the banner in honor of the release of Starfox 64 3DS. However, I decided to make it more in the style of the 64 version then the 3DS version. So I drew all the N+ moderators in 64 polygon style! We are all on a mission to stop the evil Andross (*coughDustinWilsoncough*) from taking over the Lylat System!

This months banner definately took the most time out of all the banners Ive done thus far. It was also quite the learning experience! I used a program called GIMP to draw this instead of Photoshop. For the most part it did the job fine... I just didn't like how it doesn't have the same shortcuts and hotkeys that Photoshop has. But for the most part it was a good program.

The wallpaper will be uploaded shortly, but here are all the moderator Starfox Portraits!

Justin / jayvee
Anton / Captain Seagull
Ed / .ed
Dustin Wilson
Karen / NerdyNerak

Special thanks to Anton, Dustin Wilson, and to my friend Meagan for all your help!

How to claim your Ambassador 3DS games

, , , ...

Wondering how to download your free 3DS Ambassador games? Nintendo has put up a step by step guide on how to do it:

From the Nintendo 3DS HOME menu, select the Nintendo eShop icon.

Scroll left and select "Settings / Other."

Scroll down and select "Your Downloads" to view a list of transactions.

The NES game will be listed here once it is available to download. Tap "Redownload," then "Download" to begin the download process.

Basically it treats the games as if they have already been purchased! I checked mine just now... and all the NES games are already there! If you need pictures to go with the steps above, click here!
