The Fan Art Thread!

Wow, these are amazing!
I especially like the knight wallpaper.
But don't you think that porky (the ogre) is showing a bit too much skin?

Upload time!

Here's another one I've been working on for some time.
enjoy

Wow, I'm stunned.
It's beautiful.
Though the backpack does look a little modern...

I still see how it could be fantasy-medieval. One question though, how did you get the URL from these pictures? It doesn't seem to be in my right-click options... :/

Thank you!

Yeah I should have researched medieval backpacks before I did this (my bad)

I can get the URL by right clicking and choosing "copy image location". Maybe we have different web browsers though. (you can also find a link in my signature to the web page)

And thank you to everyone for the nice words

Surely with your skills you could do the research & then simply modify the image?

After some quick research it seems like there were no backpacks in the middle-ages

I'm just gonna call this a fantasy-pack

There are some mighty impressive backpacks in this picture though!

Yeah those would be the kind of packs you'd see in the middle-ages (according to my 15 min research

) , but those are mostly cloth wrapped around stuff, woven baskets, chests and small leather pouches, not really the kind of backpacks I was thinking of.

While good for carrying stuff, they don't look so cool on an adventurer.

The physics of SG would make mincemeat of even the most hardcore explorer, if they were wearing one of those packs!

Haha so true! I love the big chest to the left, imagine that in SG, the character would be like a turtle on it's back flailing it's arms and legs in the air.

Well, got inspired by videos and made this:

I suppose it counts as a fan art, right?

Fan-tastic art more like!

thomas gomez · Jan 19, 2013

Happy new year. This is meant to be the big guy i saw in the videos, what i understood of it though...

nox · Jan 19, 2013

That is bloody fantastic Thomas!

Infidel · Jan 19, 2013

Wow that looks great Thomas!

Rod_Lightning · Jan 19, 2013

hahah, wow! That's amazingly cool

the0thMonkey · Jan 21, 2013

That is totally awesome!

I love the attention to detail, you can see every plate on its armour! I get a different vibe from this creature than I do from Porky in the video, but this is definitely great as well!

The Urban Spaceman · Jan 21, 2013

Pure quality Thomas. Much respect. How long did that take to create? I think porky might have a little more body mass than yours portrays but very intimidating still!

I have one humble request from anyone creating for this thread. Could you please consider a more traditional full screen resolution so these epic works of art can be used as wallpaper or even cropped for use as a sig. That would be sweet.

thomas gomez · Jan 21, 2013

Thanks guys

I'd said something like 1 day i don't know, I worked on it from time to time, the colors took more time than the drawing, since I'm not really confident with colors.

I'll keep that in mind

I'm absolutely atrocious with numbers, what would that be equivalent to? I'm planning to draw something so might as well try to do it in requested size...

Most screen resolutions are 1920x1080, which is the standard for HD.

Cool thanks! I will start working on it then!
