My custom SCOTT PILGRIM graffiti in Sega's JET SET RADIO FUTURE.
I've had an XBox 360 for almost two years, but only just recently acquired a hard drive for it, a hand-me-down 20GB hard drive from my brother (since he got a new one that's something like 120GB), which enabled me to finally install the backwards-compatability patch for the 360 that'll let you play selected XBox original titles.
So I've been buying used original XBox games super-cheap at EB Games and Microplay; mostly driving games, like the original Forza Motorsports, the first two Project Gotham Racing games ("first two" not counting the original Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast, of course), Sega's Out Run 2, and also Sega GT 2002, which was combined with another Sega game, Jet Set Radio Future into a 2-in-1 disk that was a pack-in disk with some specific XBox console packages.
Jet Set Radio Future is a game about some rollerblading kids in a super-stylized version of Tokyo in the future. The main thing you do at the beginning of most levels is spraypaint graffiti around the levels, to egg on evil gangs and fascist security guards alike. There's some default graffiti, but you can also create your own custom graffiti, so I decided to draw Canadian comic book artist Bryan Lee O'Malley's most famous character, Scott Pilgrim, currently being adapted by Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright into a major motion picture from Universal starring Michael Cera, because, what with all of the videogame references in the comic, I thought it would be neat to see Scott in an actual videogame, even if it's just on a wall.
The drawing is based on the picture on the cover of the fourth volume, Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together. It took me about two hours, since it's very, very hard to draw with the XBox 360 controller, especially when the graffiti paint application within the game doesn't have basic image editing software tools like lines and shapes.
