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.

I'm confused.

The source I found from 10 years ago is from Igor Artyomenko: Transistor fan art (by Igor Artyomenko - ArtStation)

But this post from 2 years ago credits Jen Zee: Transistor - Red on Bike - by Jen Zee (1920x1080) : wallpaper

This is official art used in covers and promos for the game, produced by the Art Director of the game, Jen Zee. However, there was never a tall portrait version of it...

I'm speculating, but looks like Igor Artyomenko expanded on the piece. So in this case, things are the other way around, this is not a crop of Igor's art, rather Igor's version is a derivative of Jen Zee's.

Edit: I might be wrong. Igor's post is from before the game came out, and now I can't find the piece from any supergiant source. The pieces style matches that of Jen so closely it might have gone unnoticed by most, including me, that it wasn't an official art asset.

Edit 2: Danbooru credits Igor as well. Good sleuthing Crul!

Thank you for the efforts!

Confused as well how. Either way it needed to be credited!
