Hardcore Gamer Quiz: How Hardcore Are You?

Saturday, April 24, 2010

375 video games and more than 425 characters beg the question -- how hardcore a gamer are you, really? It took eight months for DeviantARTist shadow502t to create what seems to be the ultimate challenge for any gamer who thinks they know their stuff better than anyone else. That includes all the time it took to cut out and place all of these guys on a custom 30 x 20" background [via Geekologie]:

Some characters appear more than once, some have been killed off in their respective franchises, and a couple of these games never saw the fluorescent light of a software store. This piece of art is available as a download from his page, or you can buy a print for just $4.95 -- perfect for any home, office, or geek's room.

While the image itself is gorgeous and well produced, some of the characters are way too small and difficult to make out. I'm confident I could get about 90% of the characters though, especially since loads are repeated (or appear in the same franchise)

It may have been a fun project and it is interesting to look at but it isn't his art so I don't see how he can sell it. I'd think he would need approval from every video game (and possibly comic book/toy/movie) company that owns the copyrights to each character. Maybe if he drew them all himself it would be ok, but this is just a lot of Photoshop work.
