oddspelling: May 31, 2009; Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment

We've had a strangest/worst fanart thread going for a while here in PYF that features some of the most twisted and cringe-worthy poo poo that human minds have ever produced. But fanart isn't intrinsically awful, and it's been bugging me that there hasn't been a thread to show off the legitimately good artwork that's been inspired by modern media.

As the title says, this is a thread for sharing the best stuff from Deviantart, GIS, Tumblr, and other online galleries. Feel free to post any sort of high quality fanart, digital artworks, drawings, ect. you like.

Just to clarify:
This is intended to be a general pro/am fan and contemporary art thread. Any medium (ie: Photoshop, pencil, sculpture, ect.) is acceptable, and I'm perfectly ok with cross-pollination from the other image threads. Also, feel free to post your own artwork here (just be sure to keep the existing content in mind as a quality standard).

E2: Please [timg] table-breaking images, thanks.

Do you think anyone would mind if I reposted the good stuff from the weird fanart thread? I'd credited who found what, but would that break any rules?

Go for it, duder.

Robots! And mechs!

Those are badass. They make me think of a realistic version of the Terminator.

This guy actually did work on Batman and other comics. Maybe it counts as fan art if he did it before working on Batman? Either way, I'm not complaining I love his art style.

It's actually an official comic cover from DC, but it still falls under the umbrella of digital paintings and such.

So, that almost-last one is Mass Effect, and the one before either WoW or Warhammer, but what are the others from? Particularly that first one? (Not the very last! Oh, hydrogen symbol, how fitting you are)

1, 2, and 4 are all original, 3 is Joanna Dark form Perfect Dark Zero.

By the way, what if we have made some fanart of our own? I sense it would be not-okay to share it here?

I have no problem with it. If you're ok with showing your work under the pitiless light of :goonsay:

Do you know what the source on this one is? The character looks like a cyborg rear end-Creed assassin.

Those legs are seriously long. It's just as long as Samus top half!

oddspelling posted:

I think these are two different interpretations of what Samus' armor is: the first one shows it as a powered exoskeleton that's considerably larger than her body, while the second one is just a straight up suit of armor.
