From the Mouths of Addicts: 2D Tuesday with a Twist

Hey Howdy Hey Tappers!

Welcome to another edition of From the Mouths of Addicts, where YOU get to sound off on anything and everything in the world of Tapped Out!  This week we’ve got a bonus From the Mouths of Addicts for you because it IS 2D Tuesday and we couldn’t wait to show you this awesome 2D artwork by Addicts Reader SaraMary3.  She’s one seriously talented Tapper and we love her designs she’s been posted all over our Flickr account that we had to share them with the Addicts Community!  So with out further ado here’s Sara’s artwork and a little explanation about what inspired each from her…enjoy!  

Sackboy
Sackboy from Little Big Planet was my first attempt at 2D design. I’m a huge LBP fan and have both PS3 games as well as the vita game. As a matter of fact I recently created a Simpsons costume and decoration level. Lol!

Maggie

I got the outline done with the snapdragons. That was pretty easy. I used a digital pic I found online. Coloring in her face was tough. The closest I had was the washers but I would have liked to have made something more yellow. The ice sculptures and blue stripped chairs worked out pretty good. I wanna make more Simpsons Characters. So this will be something I’ll come back to.

Mario and Luigi
From Super Mario Bros. I work at the local VFW Thrift Store and usually listen to a soundtrack of the first three games. (I call it classical music) I liked Mario all bouncy over the brick “pipe”. Not sure what Luigis doin’. He’s kinda spacing out. This was a costly build, but worth it! 

STAR WARS BFF’s

The logo was easier than the characters. The color pallet I have to choose from is limited. Makes me wish I hadn’t cleaned up all my garbage! But, I was inspired to make this after seeing Wookies post where he was making Vader. Hans is a tad pink. Lol. Without the logo and a vaguely familiar wookie outline, you’d never guess that was supposed to be Mr Solo. (Or a dude for that matter) but never the less I still like it. Make me chuckle.

P.S.  Sara has one more really awesome 2D design that she sent us, but she’s also submitted it for Shout Out so we’ve decided to save that one for one of our Monthly Shout Outs!  So stay tuned for more fantastic designs from Sara!
