Previous game posters:
We've finally come to the first poster I made for this season of Gopher football, that for the Iowa game. Unlike other posters, this one isn't modeled on any particular game as much as a genre, specifically fighting games like Street Fighter and Tekken. Goldy and Herky face off on the field at Kinnick Stadium, with the lights shining down and the children's hospital in the background. Each mascot's health bar is in increments representing one win in the series history: 62 for Minnesota, 50 for Iowa. Floyd of Rosedale sits between each bar.
As I said in my original post for the Ohio State poster, I started working on this as something to share among a few friends. A couple of hours into my work, it became clear this was going to be a more expansive project, so I decided to use it for a different purpose and disseminate it to a wider audience. I'm quite proud of how it turned out. Though everything here is traced, doing so pixel-by-pixel to create something like this is a meticulous process. The pictures I found of Goldy and Herky I had to make into sprites. Each chairback in the stands I placed myself. I even made a pixelized Iowa flag to wave from the top of Kinnick's east stand. I put a tremendous amount of work into this, and I hope you find worth in it.
Next week, Goldy goes to Bloomington for Chandler's penultimate game poster of the regular season.
