Videogame fanart

[Hagane]

Since there's a thread for official art and one for STG fanart, why not have one for general videogame fanart, too?

[ChainsawGuitarSP]

Not my best finds, just ones I have sitting around on my photobucket account.

Let's ruin this thread with some of my shit.

My girlfriend just finished this:

Foul plagiarism. Real men post their own art. That they made in MSPaint. Hells yeah seaking~

Guild Wars 2





I made this variant to submit to one of their holiday fan art contests. It did not get an honorable mention, because they are soulless bastards. FYI: one of the winning entries was copy pasta of their own art. Slightly photoshopped and put together in a composite. (No longer a cheerleader for Arena.net, but it was other douchey corporate things they did they made me unfan them.)


Hellgate London

These are all better than what the game deserved. :smugsnake: (The game was pretty ruthlessly grey btw; there's a reason why all these 9000 hour online things take place in a relaxing meadow.)





This is what MSPaints look like if you don't take painstaking minutes (hours) making them:





(For an unfinished game with no content, it's terrifying how much they cut, like these skull spiders.)


Achthander



This one was a real failure in an experiment with fore/background contrast. I'd use a lighter palette for the background if I ever felt like fixing it up.

A poster here suggested it should be equipped with a buster sword and have spikey blonde hair. After a decade of considering it, I agree that I was too strict to sticking to canon weapons. It is Einhander 8, for christ sake. Things would change, man.


DeathSmiles 3



If you can't tell from the image, this is the new muscley-old guy they're adding to the series. He uses meat magic and has a shoe familiar.


Lord of the Rings Online



Someone once asked me to do a drawing of their dwarf from the game, providing a screenshot for me to work from. This had to be one of the most painful MSPaints ever. Since the software doesn't provide a zoom out function, it's easy to screw up scale if things have to be off-screen. I ended up drawing too small of a head, and had to carefully cut it out, scale it bigger, and then paste it back in. 3 or 4 hours total man.

For the record if you're wondering, I added nothing extra to the picture. What was in the screenshot is what's in my scribble.


FATE



FYI: FATE is a Diablo clone where you stand around while your cat murders the hell out of everything. Especially oozes.


Diablo 3





The top one was an example of a Chaos Knight class. I like the shield with a skull and tentacles on it - it's a wonderful stock design you should use on all your shields.

The bottom one was a Crazy Cat Lady class I submitted for a "Design a class!" contest at Diablofans. Once again, I was snubbed because people are bastards.

(FYI - the sarcasm in the Cat Lady one is along the lines of "This is dumb. A class is just an archetype and a theme bolted together. There are only a handful of archetypes. Grr I hate life and everyone in it." (FYI - In Diablo clones I would go even more reductive - a class is just the type of screen coverage it can do with its attacks and its defense. Lines, cones, forks, circles...))

(The winner, if I recall correctly, was a Necromancer With Ghosts or something. It fit into the lineup about as well as the Cat Lady (which was the point), but still more respectable than Arena.net's abomination of a contest.)

(And if I'm proud of anything in my life, it's how cute that kitty in her fist looks. READY FOR LAUNCH. READY FOR COMBAT>)

Well, I think I found my favorite fan artist.

Only fanart mess I managed last year:

Let's ruin this thread with some of my shit.

Good. Now draw some moar Quite like your style

Fantastic work. So jealous of you whippersnappers who grew up with such a prominent manga influence, it really shows. There was such a lack of material (and no internet, can you believe it!) when I was a kid, it was a struggle to replicate the style.

More Kai, more!

[KAI]

I'm only 4 years younger than you :P. I remember copying the cover illustrations of every VHS I rented in the middle 90's.

Quite like your style

And I like yours. What about doing a collab? As you can see, I can't paint shit.

I expected more Radilgy.

[Ji-L87]

What about doing a collab?

Maybe would be a good idea, haven't done something like that in ages tho'

As you can see, I can't paint shit.

And I can't shade with a pen to save my life - how's that for a match up?

[Skykid]

I'm only 4 years younger than you

In that case you're just a much more talented artist.

I also love sketch work. More plz.

[KAI]

Thanks, I should draw more, the rest of my works are crap.

Put me on the manly men list.

Thanks, that will be haunting my dreams tonight. Amazing detail.

Help me out here.. I like this one a lot. And I'm guessing it's Gunstar Heroes? But what's his arm doing? I mean, it looks like he's swinging a knife.. or throwing a grenade? I remember it being more about guns and combining them, but I could be wrong of the source anyway.

Here are links to my fanart for two criminally overlooked shooters, Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and Ecco The Dolphin.

The chopper in the upper right corner also says its gunstar.
I think his hand is doing a knife sweep.

Whoa it's beautiful. You captured the tone of Masahiro Ito's official illustrations very nicely with that mouse and fifteen minutes.
