Hi Ross! Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy, this is perfect! It just so happens, with my graduation nearing, I was looking for ways to give something back to the internet content providers that have kept me entertained ( and by extension sane ) throughout university. For free no less! And not only is this a great line of thinking for gift ideas which I'm totally going to steal, but we have very similar art tastes to boot! Not to mention I'll no doubt be walking away from this with a bunch of new art myself, which feels appropriate as my own birthday is but hours away itself. Now bear with me here, as some of what follows may be a tad overbearing. It's just that, given the purpose of the thread I'd rather show and tell too much than too little, you know? So... First of all, here's my current collection. Make sure to grab it while you can, I don't know how long these links remain functional. Secondly, here's some games which's official and unofficial art you might like. Guild wars 2 Homeworld: deserts of kharak No man's sky. And finally, here's some related tips and ideas I picked up over time. Google image search has a reverse image search function accessed by dragging an image into the search box. It'll usually not only tell you where the art came from, but also find comparable images. This is a nigh endless source of more art: reverse search your favourite piece, find similar ones, reverse search those, repeat at infintum. It of course has filters for image sizes too. Also works great for merely finding higher resolution versions of pieces you already have. Do not ignore pixiv as a source of art. Yes it's Japanese deviantart in all but name and therefore unreadable unless you speak moon runes. But it's got good stuff and is still pretty navigable as long as you have an image to your tastes to start with. Say, this one. From there all you need is the "works" link near the top for more works by the same artist and "recommended" section to the right for similar art by other artists. If you can stomach the occasional catgirl, there's works on there well worth the hassle of making the account they force you to. Given your plans on making posters, I figured you might be interested in these things called wall graphics, mural posters, or a variation thereof. They are posters so large, they serve as wallpaper. This greatly increases their immersiveness ( in so far as a still image can be immersive of course ), especially when they fill a wall corner to corner. Unfortunately pre-designed ones of fictional scenes are rare ( Though not non-existant. ), with designers favoring the safer nature scenes, beaches, city skylines, etc. But luckily many of the companies producing these also offer a design-your-own service: as long as you have the image you want in a high enough resolution and there's no copyright issues with it, you're golden. Obviously they're a lot pricier than a simple poster, but it's worth it in my opinion. A word of warning should you get one though: strongly consider having a professional hang it for you because they come in large sheets that need to be aligned perfectly or you'll see the seams. That's all I've got for now. Happy birthday and thank you for doing what you do! You've got great ideas, keep it up!
