About This File

This is a collection of incredible vector drawings graciously donated by Pineapple Graphics (Aka Snowway22)

These drawings take Snowway 10 to 15 hours each! I found this artist on Reddit accidentally and was instantly blown away by the quality of his work. Having a lot of experience in Adobe Illustrator myself, I was shocked to find that these were vector and not 3D models. His artwork showcases very clever techniques to sell the 3D effects including stunning imitations of various materials.  Snowway said, “I ended up really enjoying the process and just kept going. I work as a graphic designer so I can make stuff like this in between ‘real’ work stuff. Everything for my job is rush rush. So, it’s really nice to relax, listen to some music, take my time and get lost in the detail. “

I told Snowway about LaunchBox and how this kind of artwork would be a huge boon for the frontend community. He was willing to contribute and even asked for suggestions on more controllers to draw. I gave him a list and some references to help. He said that he’d get to most of them, but he doesn't want to be rushed. I said take your time!

 Snowway later said, “If you could in any way shout out or plug my Instagram however or to whoever… that would be amazing. I, of course, don’t make any money from that but it’s been a fun hobby and the validation is a good motivator.” Guys, show your appreciation to this artist and enjoy his awesome work!

 Most of the “favorite” platforms are represented here. Feel free to suggest things here but just know that these drawings take a lot of time. While I’ve made carefully chosen suggestions based on what systems I think are most important and that people actually play, Snowway is the one crafting the art. I will continue to post more as this project grows!

Hi, these are incredible work. Wanted to point out that all the Game Boy Colors are missing the Power LED.

Oh I see. You're exactly right! Many more accuracy improvements are to come. I am going through the collection carefully with multiple references and even creating little example mock ups of fixes and then bringing those to Snowway22 to work his magic. It's a lot of work just finding, describing and showing him the accuracy issues let alone him actually fixing the issues. He's been doing amazing work and I know there's more to come. Good catch!

Very nice! Now just need launchbox to have a "controller" image type for platforms! :D

Yes!  That would be cool to see the controller or handheld device icons show up somewhere

You can just use them as the platform banner image. That's one way. I don't foresee a controller image type coming but who knows

That's exactly what I did. Looks amazing with your hand-drawn platform logos too.

I reached out to snowway on reddit and commissioned a complete re-draw of an old 7up marquee from a vending machine I've had hanging on my wall for years.  snowway did a phenomenal job faithfully re-creating the sign digitally.  I'd highly recommend snowway for anything like that.  Amazing work!
