You Have to See These ‘Exploded’ Retro Console Designs

I’m a huge fan of video game art (whether that’s drawings, custom console designs, webcomics or just some cool Etsy gaming creations) and these two pieces by Pierre AKA Pear AKA Piore are really awesome.

First up is the PS1 exploded design:

PS1 exploded view. Started this a while back but wasn’t happy with it. Scrapped it and restarted it last week. #playstation #ps1 #ps1games #videogames #games #art #illustration #artistsoninstagram #artists #illustrator

You’ll note that Pear has added a ton of nods to video games released on the console, including Final Fantasy 7, Spyro, Pappa The Rapper, Tekken and Metal Gear Solid.

Next up is the exploded N64 design:

Again, this exploded design features a ton of N64-era titles, including Super Mario 64, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Banjo Kazooie and Mario Kart.

Oh, and of course, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time:

POSTER UPDATE: expecting them to get here late January. This has been a learning experience and I’ll be more ready in the future. Thanks for your patience to the people still waiting on them ?. Otherwise, working on the n64 poster. It’s probably no surprise that ocarina of time made it in. What’s your most memorable moment from the game? For myself getting epona and roaming around the huge(at the time) hyrule fields is something that stuck with me through the years. #nintendo #zelda #ocarinaoftime #zeldaoot #nintendo64 #videogames #art #gameart

Be sure to give kudos on Reddit and Instagram.  You can also buy prints on Etsy.

Which design is your favourite?  And, which design would you like Pear to work on next?
