Tell me, and I’ll try and track down some good pieces to post. Still have plenty in stock, but never too early to collect ideas for more. You are of course welcome to post pieces yourself, as well!

I’m particularly interested in a wide range of genres, and older games. The game medium has existed for a while now, and I’d love to appreciate some of the earlier efforts of game creators.

    I am new to this community and so glad I found a place dedicated to artwork. I am a huge fan of game art, official or otherwise. It was disappointing to find AI-generated artwork is allowed here though, considering it steals from artists and does not credit them. I’m sorry if this isn’t the right way to discuss this, or if I’m being the vocal minority.

      It’s honestly difficult to avoid. At its best, AI generation is used as a starting point by artists who know how to improve on the result to make it their own, and in these cases the fact that AI generation was used might only be evident in how fast the artist in question is able to produce their pieces.

      As for the issue of training data and how licensing should work around acquiring the datasets used to train the models, that’s a discussion that the community really isn’t for. Suffice to say, I think these models are standing upon the shoulders of artists past, and that should be taken into consideration in their creation and use, in way that currently isn’t happening.

      I’ll enact rules if someone starts spamming posts of straight unedited output, but until then I don’t mind posting the occasional curated piece that is a cut above the rest of the flood.
