Fan Art Gallery
I must say I am flattered and honored to have been the subject of this fabulous fan art by one of our GG forum members, Touya. I always wondered what I would look like as a big furry werewolf guy and know I know! It's a really great piece and I I'm quite impressed with the addition of the tattoos. Excellent work, Touya! This will make a lovely addition to our Fan Art Gallery. I will also have this blown up and hung in the portrait gallery in the castle.
If any of you talented artists out there want to submit art for Fan Art Fridays, just send your imagin in an email to info@gaygamer.net with the subject line "Fan Art Friday Submission."
It seems like everything's coming up LEGO for me lately. I've been playing quite a little bit of LEGO Indiana Jones lately and I awoke this morning to find a missive in my mailbox from reader Scott C. pointing to a Flickr gallery containing some great LEGO art. What makes this particular LEGO art so special is that the artist has recreated scenes from various video games including Duck Hunt, Castlevania, Katamari and Shadow of the Colossus.
Now before some of you get your panties in a bunch, yes I realize that these pics are a couple years old. But, I certainly hadn't seem them before and I'm sure there are some of you out there who haven't seen them either. So for those of you who haven't seen them, click through to the gallery. For those of you who have, scroll down and I'm sure there will be something newer to tickle your fancy!
Well, I must say I am most flattered and honored. For a third time, our humble little website has had a piece of custom art made for it!
This piece, entitled "Tingle Gets A Faerie" was created by Eshto (AKA Ryan L.), a wonderful artist and GayGamer reader. It's an incredibly detailed piece with lots of little surprises and Zelda references packed in. The one to note however, is the Tingle Tuner on the floor at the bottom featuring the logo of GayGamer!
"Gay or not, Tingle, you live your life the way you want, and to hell with what other people think. And for that, my good sir, we salute you!" - Eshto
Thanks so much Eshto for this fabulous piece of art. We are extremely proud to have it featured here on the front page as well as a permanent piece in our Fan Art gallery.
You can check out the rest of Eshto's artwork here on his Deviant Art Gallery.
Artist Marcus Blättermann, a student at Germany's Burg Giebichenstein - University of Art and Design, decided that "the Hedgehog" part of Sonic the Hedgehog had been neglected far too long. As a result, he's offered up this version of Sega's speedster, hewing a little closer to the mascot's namesake animal.
In the end I decided to give him a color-pattern that resembles a West European Hedgehog but facial proportions that stick to Sonic himself. His white gloves and the red shoes he kept as another link to the original, but the shoes underwent a little redesign. In addition his body looks like that of a runner, making it more believable that he can run at such high speeds.
"Realistic" probably isn't the best word for the creation. "Absolutely terrifying" is closer. Still, it's better than the previous best effort. It also reminds me more than a little bit of this episode from Jim Henson's Storyteller, which absolutely destroyed me as a kid.
Blättermann is also responsible for the dino-fied Bowser from a few weeks back, and if you like these two pieces, make sure and check out his portfolio, although note that some sections of the site might be considered NSFW.

In honor of The World Ends With You releasing earlier this week, the Fan Art this lovely Friday Is a stunning wallpaper of Shiki and Neku along with Mr. Mew. I found this wallpaper on DeviantArt as I was browsing through their submissions for the contest they are having with the game. The creator is Mike Ineland you can download the full-sized version of this wallpaper here.
Well we have another lovely salute to Bioshock again this week; however, this time it comes in more of an wide-eyed and almost innocent anime style. The Little Sisters playing with the Big Daddy seem to give off an awe of joyful childhood exploration. To get your hands on a larger version of the drawing, head on over to konachan.
deviantARTist AnimeAmy is offering this adorable Master Chief-modeled My Little Pony for sale on eBay. According to the artist, "he is fully sculpted with Apoxie sculpt and armor completely glossed to make the armor look more 'metal like,'" and "The armor has been weathered, to give it an authentic battle look." You know, for realism. Apparently he took second place in the "Kentucky anime/gaming/comic custom contest," making him a perfect stud if you wanted to start breeding your own videogame show ponies. You might not be able to brush his hair and tail, but if the auction gets over $100, Amy promises to toss in a hand sculpted assault rifle, which will be invaluable when Rainbow Bright and Strawberry Shortcake decide to invade Paradise Estate.
Check out AnimeAmy's deviantART gallery to check out her entire collection of custom ponies, including Epona from The Legend of Zelda and a whole collection from the various Final Fantasy games. If you're interested in the auction, it ends April 7th so hit the link below and start bidding.

The Super Smash Bros. series has seen Mario and friends meet a few strange bedfellows, but this piece of fan art by Ismael Alvarez is a slightly more tender take on cross company relations. Mario and the extra-friendly neighborhood Spider-Man aren't exactly a couple I'd have pictured getting together, but here there are in a little over-the-mask action. What base is that, exactly?
I haven't followed the comics in a while, but I hear that Spidey's been having some girl trouble lately, and I guess it's been enough to drive him into the arms of a plumber with delicate eyelashes and a well groomed 'stache. Oh Mephisto, what hath you wrought?
Check out more of Ismael's artwork at his website, but note that sections could be considered NSFW.

I guess this one passed under my radar when our friend Dan Zucarelli posted this one on the bbps last month. He fished it up from the depths of 4chan and unfortunately, it's not credited. I really like the simple hand-drawn looking graphical style... it reminds me of an illustration from an old 50's kids book. Plus Big Daddy is skipping. That in and of itself make this full of awesome. If you would like a full sized version on it to call your very own, you can download it from the bbps here.
Patapon is a great looking game and, from the outside looking in, seems like it could be awesomely fun. One artist, canecodesign, has posted a pair of Patapon-inspired works on deviantART. They look fantastic and nail the style of the game on the head. You can see one right here called Shadow of the Patapon. Isn't it wonderful? Canecodesign posted another one a day or two ago that was inspired by 300. You can take a look at much larger copies of the artwork after the jump.

Normally I would save this for Fan Art Fridays, but there were so many interesting tidbits about this articular piece that I wanted to post it right away. This piece entitled "The Last Supper" was created by artist Misha for the 2006 I Am 8-Bit show. It was a very popular piece and no doubt you have seen it before.
Now here's where things get interesting... This piece is allegedly now hanging in Christina Aguilera's baby nursery! And if that isn't cool enough, I actually know Misha from New Orleans. And not only do I know her, but I have quite a bit of her amazing tattoo work on my body.
Well, now you can own a print of Misha's piece for your very own. Interested parties should inquire at the Gallery 1988 website. The prints are available for $75 and well worth the price if you ask me.
[Thanks, Petey!]
So naughty! How I love it! This is the barely safe work cut and side of this ass-tonishing piece of work over at The BBPS. As you can see, this tattoo features the characters of Super Mario Bros. The artwork is really well done and can hardly be the butt of any joke. Unless you were having relations and you had to stare at it. Anyways, I'm going to cut myself short now before I get too raunchy. Please, feel free to post your thoughts on this in the comments. Oh, by the way, there are some super NSFW pics after the jump. Enter it if you dare....
And girls who like girls who like rumble packs!
