Artists' Homages To Classic PS1 Games Are Stunning
Game Art HQ is home to a lot of artists and gamers, and those two loves intersect in the site’s PlayStation 20th Anniversary Tribute. Site members collaborated to produce a gallery of artwork based on more than 40 games released between 1995 and 2002.
Resident Evil, Crash Bandicoot, Kowloon’s Gate, Klonoa, and Final Fantasy are just a few of the games remembered by the 50 artists who contributed to the gallery. Each piece in the collection is accompanied by a word from the artist about their experience with their game of choice. Styles range from comical to realistic, with mediums from paint to pencil to digital.

Check out the whole gallery, including a papercraft-style Final Fantasy IX tribute (my personal favorite), at Game Art HQ's gallery. If game-inspired art bristles your brush, maybe you’ll enjoy some realistic Pokémon art to celebrate the releases of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Thanks to Reinhold Hoffman for the news tip!

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
