Description

Joka from Klonoa: Door to Phantomile on PSX for the Villain's Challenge at :icongame-art-hq:

Welcome to Phantomile, where the heroes are colorful and the bad guys look like they jumped out of a McDonald's Happy Meal box. Since I didn't play Phantomile when it came out, I don't have nostalgia for it like I do for Lunatea's Veil (love love LOVE that game), but I like it all the same since they're pretty much the same exact experience with minor changes here and there. My favorite stage from the game is the kingdom of Jugpot.

Although usually a bumbling idiot, Joka starts causing some major mayhem for Klonoa and Huepow later in the game. He morphs into a giant flying monster and you need to change him back by matching all the colored blocks in the ring-shaped pathway that surrounds him.

The focus of this challenge was on gaming villains, but I kinda wish I had gone for more of a combat scene that included Klonoa tossing a Moo at Joka. I didn't see much art of his beast form, and that made me want to include it in the piece.

Hah hah, I'm in the same boat as far as nostalgia for Klonoa goes. I didn't play Klonoa 1 until the Wii remake (with the Phantomile voices on of course, because the English dubbing was horrendous), have all of the nostalgia for Lunatea's Veil. I hope to one day play the PS1 version but at the price it's going for on eBay, that probably won't be for a while.

I really like this! Bright and colorful, yet oddly sinister. Very fitting for the character!
