Snake got old. So what would it look like if other game characters aged as well? Check out our article and post your own renditions here!

The guy who did Pikachu is a genius. 10/10

Gaming wouldn't be the same. No one would play a game where he is a 90 y.o. IDKW. Not even grandpa. It's not fun...

If Lara wouldn't have been the way it is, less than half of the players would still play the game. Fat Lara Croft... Sounds sh*tty. Same thing applies to other games as well, even thou I would play Pokemon with an old Pikachu with a beer bottle in his hand and a cap.

I'm new at photoshop, but here ya go:

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us



Old Niko, covered in blood stains, barely standing the test of time, still does what he thinks is best. Armed with 100 pill rounds he can fire out of his cane, which doubles as a melee weapon, he cannot fail...

I have a few more ideas I might make and post if I have time, so any Photoshop tips would be greatly appreciated since I'll probably be needing them, thanks!

Lara wouldn't turn out QUITE that bad, I'm sure >_>

Ehhhh, Kratos one was 'meh'....

Awwww, poor Cloud can't lift up his wittle sword? So sad -_-

Link wouldn't turn like that >_> At least you'd hope not....The image looks more like a crotchety old hag >_>

Egads! Pickachu looks right poorly >_> Guess Ash shouldn't have asked him to fight so much >_>

Nice!

Some Photoshop Tutorials I found right now: http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/Photoshop/1

Mainly, get used to using lots of layers, and mess with the layer blending options and opacities. (Multiply, Soft Light, Hard Light, Overlay, etc.)

That was hilarious, Pikachu was my favorite. Zelda was good to. I liked the kill it with fire.


Also can you check out my PM, sorry I am being really impatient for a reply.

Well, here is mine

Bloodraynegr

Yes, she is a dhampir, and has all the advantages of being a vampire. This means she 'll never age, so her skin will always be smooth as velvet, everything on her will keep pointing up for ever blah blah.

After all, the first game takes place half a century after the first, but time hasn't left a single mark in Rayne's face...
