What is Game Art HQ?
Game-Art-HQ [link] is a Mix of a website for galleries and articles which are featuring artists and their game related fan art. The galleries are sorted by games and game characters. There are also interviews with artists , be they hobbyists or professional, drawing, rendering, photographers or cosplayers.

Forum, just made [link] (22.02.2013)

The other part of Game Art HQ is this group where art contests and art activities like tribute projects are organized. Every couple of months art contests are hold here, sometimes they are about fun and a specific game or game series, sometimes they are about a specific kind of art or an art style instead.

A relative unique highlight of Game Art HQ are the art projects we organized here.
From art tributes for anniversarys like the 20th Anniversary of the Kirby series or the 25th Anniversaries of Mega Man, Street Fighter and Final Fantasy in 2012 to "Link's Blacklist" a project about the many enemies and bosses of the Legend of Zelda games.

These art projects are also a feature of Game Art HQ.com additionally to the art, games and game characters are described there with screenshots, official art and of course descriptions in textform. Often they are accompanies with small interviews with the artists or their own descriptions of the images.

Game Art HQ was founded in June 2011 by Reinhold Hoffmann who is no artist and no webdesigner, but a guy with a lot ideas and a gamer since 1988. Like everyone he gains more and more experience and so the site as well as this group got bigger and better with the time. Currently (December 2012) GAHQ.com is getting around 2300 unique visitors per day. The first big art tribute, the Mortal Kombat tribute by 80 artists was seen by over 100000 visitors.

Articles about Projects like Link's Blacklist, and the Anniversary Tributes were published on websites like Kotaku, N4G, Chip.de, Eventhubs and a ton of Game Series related websites like Zeldadungeon or CavesOfNarshe.


GAHQ is a project to support Game related Art and show the world a beautiful part of Video Game History and Culture, illustrated by dedicated artists, gamers, people..however you want to name them.
Or at least me and over 80 of you who participated in Link's Blacklist last or this year are!


Destructoid just wrote about our Zelda Project here [link]



Lately a lot of sites wrote about us, some because i wrote tem about the project before, some because they heard about it elsewhere, ZeldaDungeon as example is featuring one artwork per day on their Facebook site which has over 100k views. Every time an artwork is featured there it should mean 500-1k visitors for the dA gallery of the artists which is pretty cool or? Like mentioned, we are working on something together with ZeldaDungeon soon as well to help them out with their Zelda Wiki.


Other websites which wrote about us lately are:

GoNintendo.com [link] (really small article though)
Nintendofans.de [link]
Gulli.com [link]
ZeldaInformer.com [link]
Journaldugamer.com [link]

I wonder which other sites are writing about Link's Blacklist in the next days and weeks and if our Virtual Worlds and Final Fantasy Tributes will raise some eyebrows as well!

Thanks for the invitation to become a contributor =) Course I still feel badly about the 2nd round of Link's Blacklist but I hope I can make up for that mistake and become a loyal and helpful member of this group. I'll just make sure not to make any promises I can't keep, I can be an awful procrastinator > o<

Anyways, thanks again ^ _^
