Fan Art Thread

So advertising has existed even as far back as ancient rome. I'm sure the people in Guns of Icarus are familiar with it, but what would they advertise...

i'll never forgive lenzs for putting THAT drawing as the logo. . . but i have to admit i got a good laugh seeing it in this fan art. . . but seriously who puts a "evil lawyer cow" as a logo for beer *Shakes fist at lenz*. . .

I bring you: The finest in Cheap personalized aerial transport, The Saltston Mark 1.
The very first factory-line airship. Your saltston has in fact, never seen a shipyard!
Costs less than your average Kinforth apartment! No guarrantees, Ensurance not included.

[N-Sunderland]

Awesome aircraft. I especially like the air intake

[Nadrynne]

Just hold on tight when performing tight turns!

That looks great.

I never noticed it was a cow until I looked closely at the reference screenshot I took so I could redraw it. I'm curious as to the background behind the "brand" design. =P

pretty much the muse art team does 20 minute art exercises ranging from quick paintings in photoshop to zbrushing. usually we pick a random theme, in a random way. . . one month or so we ended up simply having 3 people shouting out words at random and then we'd do what ever we came from it. . . more or less the 3 words where cow, lawyer, and i believe destruction or evil? and to be honest, the cow was probably my worst worst drawing cause i started off drawing a phoenix wright cow, looked over at lenz screen and realized he was doing the same thing. . so changed it up half way. the full picture was alot more. . . umm. . violent lets say >>. . .  either way while lenz was making those bottles he needed a logo, and branded it after me. . . . and for what ever mysterious reason? he picked the cow. why? god knows . . .

doing dozens of 20 minute art exercises with random themes is a really really good way to practice. i consider those exercises as the source of how much better i am at doing art then when i started working at muse, and would love to see what comes out of people doing guns of icarus themed 20 minute fan arts ;p  (maybe something more specific though then just "guns of icarus". . .)

Perhaps a similar thing could be started on the gallery forum (if there is the interest) where once a week or more, a theme using is picked using some random words and then people have to make some quick fanart based on those words. It might even encourage people to draw who might otherwise not give it a try.

And I bet there would be some hilarious stuff too with the right mix of random words.

[Keon]

I'd try it.

So what do sky-whales eat?
Sky-shrimp.

[Captain Smollett]

Whoa creepy, wouldn't want to fly my airship into one of those.

[LordFunPants]

reminds me of the striders from morrowind o-o

[Moo]

And what do sky-shrimp eat?

[Nadrynne]

Well I guess in this case the flamethrower doubles as a cooking tool.

And vaguely of the striders from HL2. Vaguely.

[Lord Dick Tim]

That is horrifying.  Giant photo plankton next, my god.
