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.
  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.

Tell me, and I'll try and track down some good pieces to post. Still have plenty in stock, but never too early to collect ideas for more. You are of course welcome to post pieces yourself, as well!

I'm particularly interested in a wide range of genres, and older games. The game medium has existed for a while now, and I'd love to appreciate some of the earlier efforts of game creators.

The Swapper. Hand crafted clay art scanned into a game. Gorgeous.

The Dishonored series has some incredible art. When playing through the games, I'll often stop and admire the in-game paintings. Here's one of Addermire Institute, one of the locations in Dishonored 2.

Not an old game but it's made with RPG Maker, so it fits into the retro aesthetic. Omori. The devs have really captured the isolating yourself in an ideal fantasy world situation. It's a literal masterpiece, both in story, gameplay, art, ost everything. Yeah I'm an Omori fan, how could you tell? XD
