Spanish Artists Pay Tribute To Konami

Spanish design company Ikari Studio has hosted a series of "Homage" efforts in the past several months with local artists creating works inspired by famous properties like Shin-Chan and Masters of the Universe. Last month's Homage was devoted to Capcom, but the latest collection pays tribute to Konami and its huge and varied list of franchises.

The artists, including some of Ikari's own talent, covered everything from Metal Gear Solid and Contra to Castlevania and King's Valley. Of course, I've included my favorites below, but you can see all eleven pieces at the firm's blog. Ikari is also looking for ideas on what property it should tackle next, so suggest away!

Metal Gear by Sergio Sandoval and Dani Vendrell:

Contra by Jonatan Cantero:

Castlevania by Iban:

Rumble Roses by Santi Casas:

Otomedius by Ninamo:
