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.

Is there more concept art available somewhere, artstation maybe?

You can find a bunch with a google search. But there's not a lot from this early on. I remember saving this one from a reddit post by the devs years ago.

I remember when Stray was first revealed. I was confused because it reminded me of a Tumblr art post of a cat in an alleyway with a similar game concept that I saw in the early 2010's. Lo and behold, it was early concept art for Stray, waaaaay before it was a legitimate project. This may have been one of the pictures they shared.
