Hello, and welcome to Let's Create!

This weeks theme: Retro Gamer!

What Is This?

Let's Create is a group activity for every type of artist. The goal here is to not only have fun, but gain practice to increase your skills through challenges.

What Do I Do?

Simple. I will give you a challenge starting at the beginning of the week (Monday), and you will have to Sunday to complete the challenge.
After you finish your piece, make a thread like normal in the Art Board, and post a link to the thread here in this one.

Challenges.

Each challenge will be broken into categories for each type of artist. Find your category and get started!

Rules.

There are only 3 rules.
- Do not use premade or old art.
- You may only do one category.

Reward?

Other than that, there will be no real winner, it's all in good fun.

Retro = old/nostalgic. Metal gear solid is old, but not that retro. Games such as mario, the legend of zelda, sonic, pacman, etc would be considered retro.

I brainstorm ideas during each week, i already have week 4 planned.

I guess it'd be okay for the head category, but i'd be nice to see a more widely know character for this week.

space invaders is retro.
metal gear solid is not. it is a "classic" game that does not fit into the retro game theme, part of the "modern" era of gaming and gameplay.
you could however, motivate it as a metal slug type character with metal gear influences.

just because a game is old and you can see the pixels, does not make it retro.
retro is a styling term, and in this case, retro games refer to games like mario, zelda, sonic etc. mythical and magical characters that do not fit in with the modern characters.
solid snake would not look out of place next to splinter cell, call of duty or battlefield. its classic, not retro.
Imitative of a style, fashion, or design from the recent past: "retro 60s fashions".
Clothes or music whose style or design is imitative of those of the recent past.

although no one is going to stop you from making a metal gear texture, and if its good enough, it would still be posted separately in the showcase
not as part of the "lets create" event though.
