Video Game Puffs [you know you want to see what that means =)]

Hey GiantBomb forum-goers,

It's been a hobby of mine to draw caricatures of various video game characters (as well as other forms of media, like anime or cartoons) in a style reminiscent of The Powerpuff Girls.

Bear with me. I hope you're still reading. Because if nothing else, these Puffs will make you smile to yourself. I've been doing these off and on for a few years now, and I'm proud of them, so I thought I should share them with people who may get a little enjoyment out of them as well. I'll try to post a new one every day on my Tumblr account (puffpuffs.tumblr.com). On there you'll find characters from The Legend of Zelda, Phoenix Wright, Pokemon, and a lot more, including of course Persona 4 (and Persona 3). So if you like what you see, let me know. It's always nice to hear feedback. And if you happen to have a Tumblr, feel free to follow and/or reblog any Puffs you like.

EDIT: Now I have over 25 Puffs!

Thanks for reading,

Mike @ puffpuffs.tumblr.com

Aw, at first, I thought you were making a thread about the many videogame enemies named "Puff"s over the years.

My favorite, of course, would have to be the rare Pink Puffs from Final Fantasy IV(2 in US).

[Also, cute interpretations! I like Solid Snake.]

I have plans to upload/make characters from all sorts of games, including of course Persona 4. So if you like what you see, let me know. It's always nice to hear feedback. And if you happen to have a Tumblr, feel free to follow and/or reblog any Puffs you like.

Thats better.

Awesome job BTW. I especially like the Snake one.

They look pretty awesome! 
 
Though they'd look nicer in my opinion if you didn't have the jaggy pixel edges on everything. Up to you if its just a style thing you want though.
 

AAHHH a tumblr link!

MAKE IT GO AWAY

I thought this was going to be homophobic.

I am dissapointed

PowerPuffPuffPass.

I apologize for that.

Oh, you mean chibi.

Wouldn't that just mean giving Buttercup brown hair and calling her Chie? Or would they all be Nanako?

@Mike_Sandbag: If I'm not mistaken those are called "chibis". Yup, wikipedia agrees.

I've added a few more Puffs since I made this topic, so please check them out! :) Thanks to anyone and everyone that takes a look!

Thank you! And I see your point, but I only have MS Paint to work with, so the jagged lines are just part of the style I guess.

While you two may technically be right, the style's really more reminiscent of the old Cartoon Network show, The Powerpuff Girls. Though they were inherently "chibi" by definition of "big-eyed and small-bodied." So everyone wins. :)

Very adorable. Followed your Tumblr.

I like them, keep up the good work. Especially if you enjoy doing it. Also, thank you for making Katniss from The Hunger Games the right skin, eye and hair color. I know you read the book!

It's been about a week since this thread got a reply and that means at least 7 more Puffs to see. So please come check it out! There's some more Persona, Pokemon, Ace Attorney, not to mention a little Disney and Hotel Dusk. Yes, Hotel Dusk. :)

Awesome, thank you! :)

@Deathdealer108: Yep! Definitely read the book! And thanks for the compliment. :)

What, no Vinny?

@StealthRaptor: Haha, I've considered making Puffs of the Giant Bomb crew...

Also, it's been another week or so and I have new Puffs, including Chie! I just uploaded her today, so check her out!

Neat, but I thought this was going to be about cereal.

those are pretty cool, keep it up!

This are awesome! They get the approval of SexyToad. Actually you should do one of toad... Just an idea also what is your profile pic? Looks like naked anime... Not that I ever seen some.

Really like that Maya one. Cool stuff!

Yosuke Puff is my fav. Love the tiny headphones around his neck.

Hey, thanks for the comments! :) Glad Maya and Yosuke got some love. It's been about 3 weeks since I posted last, which means 21 new Puffs, including Yukiko and Kanji from Persona 4, more Ace Attorney characters, some Pokemon Gym Leaders, Tales of Symphonia people, and Marty McFly from Back to the Future and more!

Check them out! :)

Heh. I like how you included a B&W version of Kyle Hyde. :)

oh i thought htis thread said Video game Poofs ..

@Mike_Sandbag: Awww, so cute. I especially like the MGS one. Keep up the good work mein kollege!

I totally came in here expecting a Video Game branded Cereal.

Thought this would be about nips.

Pretty cool artwork man :)
