8-Bit Game Character Model Sets Are So Neat You'll Wish They Were Real

Fake model sheets seem to be turning into something of an artform. Not too long ago we saw conspiracy model sets and now Ty Lettau is tackling the concept as well by creating model sheets of certain iconic video game characters. Each sheet includes the (almost naked) character, their standard clothing and typical equipment along with some more stylish outfits and devices I’m certainly not familiar with. Interesting concept, and I hope there are more to come, although Ty has mentioned on his Flickr page:

There’s no shortage of iconic characters, but in order for this idea to work, they need to have many cosmetic changes (suits, power-ups, etc.). I really want to do Mega Man and Final Fantasy, but there’s just so little visual change to those characters.

Hopefully he can figure something out. Read on below for Samus’ and Link’s sheets.
