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 @saucechan@ani.social 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.

fucking hell, 2/5? Do I even play the vidja?

In your defense all of the characters are over 25 years old and those you missed are kind of obscure now

I'm 37 and into obscure shit. My actual excuse is that I've been a PC guy during that era.

It was the golden age of PC gaming so it's a good reason

[–] Brokkr@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

I think it's Rinoa from FF8 which released earlier in 1999.

Rinoa, but it's easy to miss because it barely looks like her
