Abe's Oddysee - Scrab Cakes recreation


A poster from Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, one of my favourite games from childhood!

I've always wanted one of these posters for personal amusement, and the only way to get one was to redraw it from a small reference picture found on Google Images (as far as I'm aware Oddworld nor any online game shops distribute them).


I started by drawing the black lines by hand, scanned it into Adobe Illustrator and the rest is coloured via openCanvas.

What's next? Paramite Pies? Meech Munchies? ...Mudokon Pops? :P



For any Abe's Oddysee fans: Feel free to download and print off a copy!

"Never Born, Never Died, Just Visiting"

Imaginative & Conceptual Illustration assignment based on the Happy Journey project-- choose an epitaph, base your coffin on it, and voila! I chose a famous Osho quote (post title) which, to me, reeked of outer-space and the Hindu religion.

90% complete!

To give the coffin a bit of 'oomph', I made most of it pop-out by placing squares of card of different thickness under the mandala and alien. And as a nice little break from doing everything on openCanvas, I coloured everything with Promarkers (courtesy of Ben! Thanks!)


A little inspiration also came in the form of this song by Cynic-- transition of an 'alien/spirit' from earth to outer space. I feel it fit the project perfectly--
"Box up my bones, I'm coming home" !

Parental Units

The lady who commissioned this has never had a photo of her parents together (father now deceased). One photo of her mother and two of her father were referenced, here's hoping she likes the finished result!
