Video Game fan art -- when it's better than the official thing

Oh, bitch bitch bitch.

The way the guy posted it was kinda asking for it. And this thread is about "better than the official thing" not about doing it for the love of it or whatever the heck. I don't think the artists working on MP are tracing over faces, but whatever. I still think it's a cool piece.

Well they ought to. The humans in MP3 looked like crap

Holy crap at the skills in here.

I remember some of you from the awesome annaul projects we have but this is just amazing.

Edit: I'd seriously buy t-shirts or posters of most of this art. I love it. :lol

Yeah, yeah. Photo reference. Blah blah blah. But what I really like about this one is its composition. The contrast between the peaceful rainy Cateria and the forboding magma filled chasm. It looks like any second now, Samus will say to herself "Whelp, time to get back to work", plop on her helmet and kick off the cliff, taking the Gravity Express all the way down to Norfair.

Oh I know you were being cute and not hurtful. That's the point of the word!

Anyway, I was taking the thread title literally, but leaving out the word "fan." Who hasn't wanted to play in a real, CG, 2D/3D Amano watercolor Final Fantasy?

"Better than the official thing" indeed.

He isn't taking the credit, it just seems he doesn't know what DA is really used for. :p He states in his descriptions that the works are by an unknown author.

oh good call, thanks for clearing that up :D




Fanart rocks, more artists should let the world know what franchise mythologies have stood the test of time. Artists using fanart as a tool can really push a game into pure culture. I like seeing all GAFs' artists posting their awesome art !! good tastes here :D

Here's some of my favs that i've done over the years:

Thats not fanart? I must have had it in the wrong folder then.

And I was referencing his tag, playfully

Yeah, that was done by Charlie When (wen?), the concept artist on GOW. You can see his signature in the lining of the beak, and on the wing (which is weird, signing your art twice?)

It was for a game informer cover a while back if I remember correctly.
