Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @[email protected] to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

Man, I wish W&W was as cool as the box art. It should show a skinny guy in armor jumping around platforms ๐Ÿ˜‚

The sequel sprang for Fabio to grace the box art. So they had that going for them.

Ironsword was awesome. If I played it now, would likely infuriate me, but it was one of those games my friend hated so he gave it to me. I played it for hours and finally beat it, was such a happy childhood moment.

Showed my friend that I beat it and he stopped talking to me.

I miss the days of hand-drawn box art like this. There were so many great game boxes in the 80s and 90s.
