Game Art Online
The world of gaming is infamous for featuring protagonists who are overly boyish or outright feminine. This left the door wide open for these stars to be interpreted as burly, testosterone filled heroes worthy of starring in any mindless action movie.
The Many Faces of Mario
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Mario's first staring role, in Super Mario Bros., the latest installment of the characters of gaming art series is featuring works to honor gaming's favorite hero plumber. Mario has always been a man of many hats and abilities. Whether it be from the aid of fire-inducing flowers, leaves that cause raccoon tail growth, or simple yellow capes that allow the pudgey plumber to glide on the wind. Taking the notion that Mario is a hero of many faces, this art series delves into a look at how he would look if he took on the persona of other figures prominent in pop culture.
The World of Warcraft Meets The Mushroom Kingdom
In the latest video game-inspired art series, we focus on how an MMO might appear if it were set inside of Mario's vibrant world of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Take a look at what would happen if comic book characters were to invade the world of gaming and team up with best characters that video game lore has to offer. In this scenario Solid Snake would stalk the night alongside Batman. The Incredible Hulk battles Donkey Kong (perhaps over bananas). Spider-Man and Rico Rodriguez trade swinging tips while the two most iconic characters in their field, Mario and Superman, take to the skies in caped wonder.
Video Game Mash-ups
There have been a handful of crossovers within the world of video games,like those found in the Super Smash Bros. series for instance. What if the idea for crossovers was taken one step further and two popular game characters were combined together to make one single entity.
