Friday Video: Just go along with it

Okay, so this isn't a video so much as it is a series of still pictures. But we like to showcase visually interesting work in our Friday Video feature, and Jason Dunn's Rembrandt studies, "painted" in Colors! certainly qualify. We think that posting them in our normal video feature emphasizes how amazing they are to look at. It turns out that the DS screen is, apparently, quite well-suited to Impressionist-style brush work.

So, uh, if you're into painting in that style, and you don't mind doing so on a 3.5-inch surface, the DS might be a good investment! It also plays games and stuff. Check out another brilliant work after the break, and if you're really upset about it not being in motion, just move your head around as you look at it.

Find painting zen on the DS

Mercury Games is planning to release a series of Ertain's non-competitive DS games in the West as "Zen Games." The first game scheduled is something that recently popped up at the Renchi sale, in its Japanese incarnation as Kokoro wo Yasumeru Otona no Nurie DS. It'll be called Paint by DS here, and its user interface appears to have undergone a cosmetic makeover. Since it obviously has the same pictures, we assume that the minigames and puzzles are still there as well.

We were pretty interested in the Japanese version (as some of you seemed to be), so we're pleased to have the chance to check this out whenever it comes out in the US. It'll be out in Europe on the 24th of August.

Joy of Painting to be unleashed on the happy little DS

With all the excitement surrounding the announcement of an official Bob Ross Joy of Painting videogame for the Revolution, I completely overlooked the fact that the game is also slated to hit that handheld system with the canvas touch screen and the paintbrush stylus! Call it a "happy accident", if you will.

No, seriously. Bob Ross will presumably be teaching you how to paint devastatingly gorgeous masterpieces on your DS. Developed by the AGFRAG Entertainment Group, the game has every chance of doing for art what Elektroplankton did for music. It'll be weird, that's for sure, but who could possibly resist the charms of an inescapably cheery man with a head of hair that even dwarfs the mountains he so optimistically paints?

Now all we need is that Kirby / Bob Ross crossover platformer and we're set to unleash our inner artistes.
