Video games can be a great source of design inspiration. Through the years, graphic artists have been borrowing elements from these video games and using them as inspiration for their art. With the help of their imagination, fans are able to transcend their favorite characters, placing them in pictures so wicked cool that even the creators of the game are impressed. These derivative but nonetheless brilliant works are called Fan Art.
