For today's premiere of 8-BIT: A Film about Art & Video Games at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas, the Ain't It Cool News crew held a contest. The AICN Games guys solicited the best in 8-bit inspired art and got some pretty spectacular submissions.
For instance, the above pic is a teaser of Blain Hefner's Ms. Pac-Man tribute "One Call Does It All." He says of his inspiration:
I thought she was hot. Like, a Betty Rubble hot. In a polaroid taken at Pepperment Palace (a Chuck-E-Cheez-esque place that was Wichita Falls, TX looong ago), I can even be seen affectionately leaning up against the Misses, with her hubby none-the wiser next to me.Not only did Ms. Pac-Man kick ass munchin' on ghosts, she did it all wearing nothing but red shoes, gloves,a bow and a smile. Long before Lara Croft, Ms. Pac-Man was THE original video game sex goddess.
Insert pause here. The rest of the entries are far less sexually confusing, but show off similar talent, so check them out. I'm going to go take a shower now.
Monki has the winners of the 8-bit Art Contest!! [Ain't It Cool News]
