Once upon a time there was a forum member called Fev who did some damn fine shmup artwork. I can't remember her website, but I know it's out there somewhere.

EDIT: www.fevereon.com

There's a ton of shmup-related fanart on pixiv if you're willing to sign up there and look around.

I made a fan art image of Darius II. It was made in less than a hour in photoshop cs3 and yes I mostly traced screen caps. So don't bother flaming it. I said it already lol.

I've got

SF IV
Prince of persia old
Prince of Persia NEW
Mario etc
God of War
Okami
Zelda
Pikmin
Shadow of the collossus
Bubble Bobble
Gunstar Heroes
Jet Set Radio
Ico

Most are official, some are fan art. Although its all very high quality stuff. In fact some of the pictures are absolutely HUGE! You could easily make posters out of some.

Like this exception fanart:

Or this awesome Kagura from Hellsinker:

(artist is: http://zerogic.sakura.ne.jp/gallery/html/mono/mono.html)

And what was my wallpaper for months:

And whoever made that, never stopped to think that it would be about 1000 times better WITHOUT that random text scribbled on it.

My character from Phantasy Star Portable:

Yeah, that's right - it's a direct homage to Miria from The Guardian Legend in both appearance, name and, of course, those sexy headphones (or should I call them 'mechamimi'?) :mrgreen:

So the fact that I'm not the one who came up with this character makes it technically a fan art 8)

It's the epitaph from stage F-C in R-Type Final.

By the way, on Pixiv, what keywords or tags do the Japanese use to refer to shmups?

that last pic has gotta be my favorite atm although i do like that pic that looks like a screen shot of a vert, its something i thought more folk would do since all they need to do is touch up a screenshot. And it looks really good to boot aswell

Seems like most folk on that pixiv site just like to draw r-9 and thos half girl half spaceship pics (isnt there a special name from those sort of pictures?). Not that im eally knocking the site as there are allot of great picutes there aswell.

this is a good pic

bah sod it, dunno why but linking pics here never works for me here the link to the last pic which is a mock up of a screen shot

http://raz42.deviantart.com/art/Shmup-mock-85672824

and the 1st one at pixiv although im guessing ull need an account to view it
