ITT, let's post as many links to official art as possible! (Not 56k friendly!)

Admittedly, finding official artwork of Shantae, or at least large quantities of it, (Especially at higher resolutions!) isn't easy. Maybe we could try to collect as many pieces of official Shantae art as we can gather up, so everyone can really appreciate it all from one place instead dozens? Fan art makers might find most of it handy for reference also. Don't be afraid to host a few bits on photobucket if you have to!

And to make this clear, this topic is for official artwork only, (Even rough sketches from the developers count as well.) so if you have any fan art to show off, please start a topic in the Fan Art section, we'd love to see it!

I'll start it off with a few bits :

Shantae and Risky Boots :









Sky and Wrench :



I'm having a little trouble finding larger sized versions of Bolo artwork, so that and a few others will have to wait.

I get a few emails now and then from one of WayForward's mailing lists (one for Shantae, I think?). Every now and then, they come with pictures.

This one is from Matt uploading a walkthrough-esque map of Risky's Revenge's overworld to his DeviantArt. Seems fitting.


This one was a little surprise for Halloween. Shantae is cosplaying as someone else...

Take a guess, then get ready to laugh:

BUMP!
Let me do my bit.

I've been meaning to post in this topic again for a while, but I haven't gotten around to finding more art lately. ;_; Anyway, that's a lot of nice official art that you've posted Paragon. I didn't know about half of those pieces, and I've been trying to find that fifth one without a Gamespot watermark over it!

That is both cute and hilarious! :3 I had no idea they included art with email letters like that. xD

It's indeed a little hard to find official art for Shantae.
At least for some pieces.

Especially the last one was really hard to find.
And I think it's one of my favs among official art.
She looks so cute there. :3

A lot of older pics and concept art can be found at these sites:

Here's a couple I found recently:

Whoa, Tinkerbats clinging on Shantae... o_O


Nice find there.

Same feelings here, it's cool to see some official art of Shantae's harpy form. ^^

Also, while looking for Shantae stuff on Google a few minutes ago, I stumbled across this and was wondering if anybody has spotted that bit of art to the right before. =P No luck so far on my end. XD

Now that I think of it, I haven't seen that particular pose outside of trailers and magazines.
Perhaps as a precaution due to how awesomely alluring it is?

A Shantae print I purchased a while back had various concept sketches in the background, such as these:


I like bubble-blowing Shantae in particular: seems like it'd make for an interesting magic technique

She looks older in the gbc artwork.

Doesn't she, though? Actually, as far as the art goes, she seems to be getting younger with each game.
