Back on the 30th May we started a different art collaboration than the usual ones, it was no tribute, not meant to be a challenge or even a contest.
Instead the focus was and is super simple, every group member can claim one video game character and create an artwork that is drawn or created with other methods, even cosplay would count. The only rules and limitations are that each game character can be claimed by only one group member.  The artists that claimed a character have 2 months to create and submit their artworks which are getting featured in journals like this one.

11 submissions were done in the first month, June 2015 but July saw a big increase which is the reason why this journal won't be the only one in August about the submissions. 23 super different game characters were illustrated by a mix of old and new Game-Art-HQ Community members.  And if you think this project sounds like an interesting idea, you are welcome to visit the journal about it and participate as well! The GA-HQ Community Art Project
YOU can choose a game character you want to illustrate for the group, every game character can be claimed by only one group member.
Only Game-Art-HQ members can participate in this art collaboration. The game characters can be drawn, 3d modelled, crafted, cosplayed, it is up to your creativity how you create a fan art.
Every artist can participate in the project for only one time so choose your character very well. Every game or game character can be claimed. Including enemies, vehicles, bosses, protagonists etc. If you like you can also ask for ideas or challenges, I am happy to give you some rarely drawn game characters to choose from.
Currently claimed characters
February (Deadline is the 1st April)
Bayonetta by Zeighous
Frisk from Undertale by brittninja
Grey Warden from Dragon Age Origins by TheRiki
Julia Chang from Tekken by girabyte225-jc-lover



Have fun having a look at the first 11 of the 23 submissions from July!

THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL POKEMON - MEWTWO by CHOBI-PHO
Mewtwo was the first submission in July and submitted on the 4th July by :iconchobi-pho: and also the first Pokemon claimed for the Project which means that over 750 more are available btw.
Toni Hoang Nguyen from Australia draws a lot Pokemon fan art in this style which looks very fitting to those characters I think!


The Evolution of Sweet Tooth by Playstation-Jedi
Just one day later we got the next finished submission. :iconplaystation-jedi: from the UK drew a really cool character that needs to return in a new Twisted Metal game if we will ever see one. Sweet Tooth is probably one of the craziest and scariest of all clowns in video games and Playstation-Jedi drew the guy in all his different designs he got over the around 20 years since the first Twisted Metal. Lets see if someone will claim Minion or Calypso as well.


Christie by SteveMillersArt
This is Christie from the Dead or Alive fighting games and :iconstevemillersart: drew her in June actually but well, I forgot to request the image and hmm did not feature it in the July journal. Sorry about that @ SteveMillersArt . Christie is an assassine in the DOA games and one of the few female antagonists there.


Mushroom Warriors- Daisy by wyvernsmasher
I guess everyone knows this one, Princess Daisy from the Super Mario series! She was drawn by :iconwyvernsmasher: from the UK who is a pretty new GA-HQ group member and thought about a Mario or Mushroom Warriors game which could be a similar experience than Hyrule Warriors and Princess Daisy could use a Baseball Bat as her weapon.
I like the idea, those "Warriors" games are always super fun. Am looking forward to the western releases of Pirate Warriors 3 and Dragonquest Warriors.


Eric Lecarde Poster by whittingtonrhett
Castlevania fucking rocks and I hope it will never completely die and Bloodstrained will be a worthy successor that will work as an inofficial Castlevania game.
:iconwhittingtonrhett:aka Rhett Whittington from the USA drew Eric Lecarde one of the protagonists from the relative unknown Castlevania: Bloodlines on the Sega Mega Drive.
Its one of the few Castlevania games I never played, and this fan art reminds me that I should finally do that someday.


Nyotengu-DOA by OneWingedAngel75
Nyotengu is the second Dead or Alive character that was claimed for the GA-HQ Project so far and she was drawn by :icononewingedangel75: from Greece, one of the first artists that participated in art collaborations organized by myself. Must admit that I played only the first version of DOA5 but Nyotengu looks interesting :-) Can she fly?


:bigthumb545243984:
I think that this submission is a great example for the - in my opinion - best feature of this project. You can really choose every kind of game character, be it from a totally new game or a game that is almost forgotten now..like  - sadly - MediEvil..an action adventure series on the first Playstation that had the potential to become Sony's alternative to the Legend of Zelda maybe. This funny guy there is Sir Daniel Fortesque the undead main protagonist of the games.
He was drawn by :iconcloudsdevourer: from Poland who participated previously in some of the art collaborations on FGE but it was her first submission for a project here on GA-HQ.


:bigthumb546499164:
Relative many fighting game characters were claimed in June and July, including one of the maybe coolest ones ever, Paul Phoenix from the Tekken series in his classic look from Tekken 3. If you ever played Tekken, you know this guy and hate his Phoenix Smasher Attack I bet :-)
He was drawn by :iconmajamcgowan: from Sweden who was invited by me just a couple days before in July after I saw this :thumb545603148: artwork by her.
Its awesome to see so new group members getting active already :-)


E X E C U T E by Llewxam888
Decapre from Ultra Street Fighter IV was a new character met with a lot criticism to Capcom last year because a new character was hyped for the game for over a half year and the players expected more than just a clone character of Cammy White. Decapre is really fun to play though, different enough from Cammy and personally I found it fun to see one of the "Shadaloo Dolls" again after Street Fighter Alpha 3.  She was drawn by :iconllewxam888: from the USA.


Orianna, the lady of clockwork by AdrianWolve by AdrianWolve
Enough fighting game characters now, its time for the first champion character of the popular League of Legends MOBA in the GA-HQ Project. Orianna, the lady of clockwork is a pretty interesting character design I think and :iconadrianwolve:  from Spain did draw her very well.


FFII Leon by blackorb00
:iconblackorb00: is a longtime group member and contributor who created a lot of damn epic Final Fantasy fan arts. His submission for our 20th Anniversary of the first FF is the maybe biggest and most epic FFI fan art Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary by blackorb00 ever made. He claimed a very unpopular Fnal Fantasy protagonist for the project with Leon from Final Fantasy II. Its always fun to see that not so known characters are the first that are taken by Game-Art-HQ contributors while the popular ones are often taken by new group members and it takes much longer until the more known guys are taken. Like in the case of Final Fantasy anyone from FFVII-FFXV.


We got pretty new characters lke Orianna and Nyotengu claimed as well as 20 year old guys like Sweet Tooth or Eric Lecarde, protagonists as well as villains, enemies or even vehicles like the Vic Viper can be claimed in this project. If it is continuing like now we have a very interesting gallery by the end of the year that shows a big variation of video game characters.
