Earthbound 64
Lucas vs. Hade Hebi - by ozwalled

I forget the entire story behind this, but basically it's based on ideas and small tidbits of information gleaned from old Mother 3 (Nintendo 64 version) teaser images and articles.

There's some image that's forest or jungle-like that showed a snake-like thing, and there was text somewhere I read about some snake boss creature called Hade Hebi, so that's where that part of things comes from. As for Lucas's gaudy outfit, that's something I sort of made based on one of the old screenshots as well.

It wasn't until I was reading through the Player's Guide one day and read that it was "a lethal combination of energy and molten metal" that I was inspired to do this, one of my very favorite pieces of my EB art. In my mind, I pictured a pool of liquid metal (a la Terminator 2) running uphill and morphing up into the Electro Specter, electricity arcing from it as it solidified. I also envisionned vein-like tunnels of the liquid rushing up, not unlike lava tubes. I feel that I'd captured all of that pretty successfully. I also opted for axe-like and hammer-like "hands", to illustrate a "morphing" type ability.	4/27/05	8.58
