Junkboy’s “Demakes” Nab Him Job With Minecraft Creator
Instead of re-envisioning old franchises with modern graphical capabilities, artist Junkboy specializes in “demakes.” What does that mean? Junkboy puts a unique twist on modern titles we’re familiar with by converting them into pixel art. Above you can see his tributes to Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Bayonetta, and Resident Evil 5. Check out his full gallery here.
Think Junkboy is pretty good? You're not the only one. Minecraft creator, Markus Persson, just brought Junkboy on as a fulltime artist at his newly created studio.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
