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.

Looks more like Tears of the Kingdom to me.

It's BoTW. Or perhaps technically neither? :D

On Jess' website:

A personal project created from 2014-2016, designing concept art and environments of what I thought The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would look like. I painted these after the first trailer was released and before the full title announcement (it was called Zelda WiiU at the time).

An homage to one of my favourite video games.

Edit: Well fuck me for taking an artist for their word on a game I haven't played, I guess.

This reddit post by Jess seems to indicate this particular piece was drawn much later than the rest.

What? Link is literally wearing his Tears of the Kingdom outfit. And look at his arm. This person did not make this in 2014-2016.

You're welcome to look into it further.

Edit: I did so for you.

Someone at Nintendo saw this artwork and thought it was so cool they made a game of it

Idk if the dates match up for that but a flip flop can dream
