Video game fan art?

[VenomMacbeth]

Anybody on here do any kind of fan art for video games?  I've done a lot of small-ish paintings, mostly stuff from Transformers, Zoids, or Macross, but I started on another small project today & thought I'd show it off here:



It's the Silver Hawk battling it out with King Fossil from Darius.  I usually begin these paintings with a pencil sketch (this one is incomplete), which I then go over with ink before painting with acrylics.



I was particularly pleased with how the sketch of King Fossil was turning out, so I went ahead & started inking it.  As you can see, though, the Silver Hawk sketch has been erased because I was dissatisfied with it.  I will be posting my progress on here, assuming there will be more progress (I have a habit of starting these things & never finishing them.)

What do you think?  Care to show off some of your artwork?

Progress looks good so far, I'd love to see one with color!
I can't ink to save my live, I tried and the lines turns out all wobbly and not very nice. Blahgh! Now, digitally is another matter

This thread makes me remember that I have a DA account I haven't touched in in a year or so and...I don't want to log in and check my message center *shudder*.
I mostly did anime fanart but I remember like...3 or so game ones:

(Just a heads up, I've had that account since...like...2004 and I was alot younger back then and it shows. I act and spell like a prime time weeaboo....even more than now :!: Judge me with that in mind )
Old -----------------------------------> New



...and now I realize I haven't done anything art-related at all this year... Gotta start again or I'll loose it for real...

Edit: Just remembered this Mega Man meme from 2008. It looks okay, even today

Damn nice stuff guys!

Moar PCE/Turbob related art is needed though!

I was thinking about maybe doing something Soldier Blade related.

Some original art would be awesome!

What size is that canvas you are working on?

[RegalSin]

It is done it is great, it is good, but it is not original. It could be used for a cover, etc, etc, etc. or even poster. However it looks like you might have some difficult with the dimension of the ship vs the battleship. However in theater ( towards stage ) it looks decent.

Awesome pics!  I don't do fanart I do original music that's inspired by video game music.

Indeed you are right sir, which is why I have erased it & started over on the Silver Hawk.

Just did a sketch, we'll see if I finish it or give up



Too tired to point out faults, need to look again tomorrow

Finish it!

Using a tablet?

we've got a sick house around here, no break for art or gaming on my side.

Aw

Using a tablet?

Yeah, but it's got the wrong "aspect ratio". The work area matches a normal 4:3 display, so I've had to make it fit with a 16:9 display instead. Now 50% of the tablet isn't in use Feels a bit like a waste.

Edit:

Small update:


Been trying to fix some of the mistakes I could find and did battle with my arch nemesis, anatomy and his sidekicks hands.

Edit edit:
Some rough linework...

looking good your a talented artist, wish i could draw i want a gradius tattoo from just above my elbow to my wrist i know what i want but cant draw it.
goes like this

on my forearm i want the vic viper with the a few options flying over a line of Easter island heads  shooting some small ships down the the head going off into the distance towards my wrist, then i want a fire moon on my elbow with a fire dragon wrapping around it going down the back of my forearm with some of the enemy ships mixed in.

seems a good idea of a tattoo very different.

[Ji-L87]

Thanks  O:)

Slowly, very slowly moving forward with this.



I got stuck with the whole idea of it for a while but just got some momentum again. I'll try and finish this, dangit!    But I just seem to keep changing/adding stuff....
