Super N8 (Nate) - o - TRON's big big birthday happened recently. He's a game designer here at Disney and a long time friend. He created the character and designed the awesome video game DEAD HEAD FRED!!! Indeed his creative powers are formidable.
His wife contacted me for a commission... she had a great idea of N8 meeting all of the video game characters he's been involved with. Drawing all of them proved impossible 'cause N8 has had such a long and illustrious carer. So I chose what I hoped would be his top five.
After telling Becky "Your money is no good here." cause N8 is Nate... I proceeded to ink and watercolor piece the old fashioned way... with ink and watercolor. I finished it last night, found a frame and presented it to him today. I think he liked it :) Happy birthday friend!

This is an awesome painting. I love it. I should point out that I can't take 100% of the credit for characters like Dead Head Fred, as with any video game there is a talented and large group of people who equally contributed into the creation of characters and games. But it is definitely one of my favorite concepts and characters I had the opportunity to contribute to.
Thanks very much for the great birthday gift!
