Awesome Fan Art

It continues to weird me the hell out that my odd little whatever-age-I-was-when-Super-came-out fanfic "this is the only way they can keep making new Metroid games after that ending" is what they actually ran with, AND so many people want them to stop pulling punches with it.

Make Samus a monster girl you cowards!

I love that her hair takes the shape around her face of a Metroid's teeth. Nice touch.

A different take on one of my favorite Lovecraft creatures:


For reference, Lovecraft's original description:

They seemed to be enormous iridescent cones, about ten feet high and ten feet wide at the base, and made up of some ridgy, scaly, semi-elastic matter. From their apexes projected four flexible, cylindrical members, each a foot thick, and of a ridgy substance like that of the cones themselves. These members were sometimes contracted almost to nothing, and sometimes extended to any distance up to about ten feet. Terminating two of them were enormous claws or nippers. At the end of a third were four red, trumpet-like appendages. The fourth terminated in an irregular yellowish globe some two feet in diameter and having three great dark eyes ranged along its central circumference. Surmounting this head were four slender grey stalks bearing flower-like appendages, whilst from its nether side dangled eight greenish antennae or tentacles. The great base of the central cone was fringed with a rubbery, grey substance which moved the whole entity through expansion and contraction.

Our very own Ixo just drew me fanart of my dog, Bentley

It has immediately become my favourite piece of art

A few years ago, Kelly Turnbull, the artist of among other things the excellent (though sadly no longer updating) webcomic "Many Guys Doing Manly Things" drew some fairly lighthearted/sexy Pokémon fancomics based on the idea of a romantic relationship between Giovanni and Lt. Surge, apparently because she liked the shipping name "warcrimes":


Recently she drew a more serious story based on the same concept. It's got some really great art and apparently many geeky references to obscure Pokémon lore, but beware that it also features some pretty mature themes (PTSD, unhealthy relationships) and a VERY gory Pokémon battle. It's apparently partially based on the fan theory that there was some kind of war involving Pokémons before the events of the first game, and that Surge was a veteran from this war. She initially only made it available through Patreon and itch.io, but recently she finished posting all the pages for free on Twitter and Pixiv:

I recently comissioned a piece of art on Tumblr for the first time in my life. It's by the talented Faeymouse, and it's a picture of two characters from a TRON fanfiction I wrote a few years ago. Looking back at the fic, I'm not entirely happy about some of the writing, but I am very fond of the characters I came up with, and I'm very happy to have an actual image of them:

The lady on the left is named "Play" and the lady on the right is named "Anthem". For those unfamiliar with the TRON setting, they are personifications of computer programs/files. Play is a music player program, and Anthem is a music file. I gave the artist some specifications regarding their faces, but it was she who came up with the designs of their clothes, including the wonderful idea of giving Anthem music notes.

Some more fun facts: Their pose is based on this poster for the original TRON film. Anthem's appearance is based on none other than Wendy Carlos, since she's the digital personification of a particular song from Carlos' soundtrack for the film (one of the themes of TRON that I find fascinating is that digital creations have the same faces as the humans who created them).

After reading this comic, I've begun to imagine every single "silent protagonist" in video games communicating via sign language.
