I think this boss is actually called "Crabullus."

You know Kraken, now that I think about it, you're right. I completely forgot about the brain boss. This was Area 2. Thank you for the compliment by the way. I would have to say that I'm glad I chose the dark background, as it really popped the textures on this one.

Isn't this the Area 2 boss? The Area 1 boss was the big floating brain enemy that had orbiting spheres Jason needed to dodge to get close.

Great use of textures here, it is a treat to look at

Glad you like it JetZero. I like taking that memory lane trip myself sometimes. I love being an 80's kid.

Ohhhhh my Gaawwwwwd! 'Scuse me a sec please.

*Squeees*

AAhhhhhh! XD Blaster Master! This has got to be the first time I have ever seen (fan) art of it! Wow, this is a real treat. I never.... Gawsh. Words be failing me.

I am overjoyed. This game was a part of my childhood. I remember watching my older brother play this. He was never able to make it past the 5th boss. Damn that freaking bubble crab-thing! Even taking it on myself 20+ years later, I can't beat it either!

Anyway, this brings me back. Makes me want to plug in the old Nintendo and give Blaster Master another whirl. Thank you for taking me down memory lane.

Going to have to favorite this. Many thanks for sharing your work.

 Yes it was. I love doing these revamped pieces for the games I spent hours with as a kid.

 What a great compliment! I'm not sure if it's great, but I do like making art though. Other people's enjoyment of the art is really fulfilling.

 Thank you. This one is actually my fiancee's new favorite, and she knows nothing about the original source material.

You're welcome! It sure does stand on its own as art without any need to know the original source material, most likely the mark of a great artist!

Crabulus is actually the boss of Area 2, in case that wasn't a typo.

 You're probably right. It's been so long since I actually played the game. Great memories though.
