Players Are Amazing - The Most Creative Gaming Fan Art

When passionate gaming doesn't quite cut it, and someone has a bit of talent and a lot of creativity, amazing things can happen. There are plenty of examples of some wild imagination that only we, gamers enjoy.

Game cuisine, higher-level cosplay, and all the rest

However, the world doesn't end with LEGO bricks, dioramas, and enclosures. Fans get creative in many categories, often in ones we deal with every day – and I mean, specifically... food. Here, two parties, in particular, can be singled out as the ones who have made cooking video game dishes the centerpiece of their hobby (and business). One of the most popular western food blogs is Pixelated Provisions. Victoria Rosenthal, who runs it, has official cookbooks based on the Destiny, Fallout, and Street Fighter brands in addition to countless recipes.

Its European counterpart is Nerd's Kitchen which also turned its hobby into a small business, cooperating with gaming companies. When you take a peek at this page, you'll find recipes for tofu stir fry from Cyberpunk 2077, tomato borscht from The Elder Scrolls Online, rice cakes from Destiny 2: Shadow Fortress, or fire stew from Gothic II: Night of the Raven.

Also noteworthy are the people who take advantage of available technology to enhance their gaming experience. This happens to be the case most often with fans of flight simulators. One of them put together an amazing gaming rig for Digital Combat Simulator World using virtual reality technology on an HP Reverb G2 headset, Thrustmaster T.16000M throttle with J-PEIN HOTAS grip, Thrustmaster MFD Cougar displays, and CH Pro USB pedals. All of this allows for complete immersion during the flight.

Interestingly, there are individuals who go one step further. John Davies devoted several years of his life and more than $30,000 to create a replica of the interior of a Boeing 747 aircraft. Of course, in order to get a better feel for the game while playing Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Staying with the expensive way of indulging in the hobby for a moment, it would be a sin not to mention cosplayers who invest their time and money to dress up as game characters. There are also people who take it even further and, beyond "just" dressing up, get into character like Chris Vernel did with his brother. Fascinated by medieval times, armor and white arms, they used For Honorto create combat demonstrations by preparing (with their bare hands) appropriate armor and weapons.

I could slowly wrap up the list, but it would be a sin not to mention a few more interesting fan-made things I got informed of by the editorial team while writing this. We'll start with. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and a game world map etched in wood by the When Geeks Craft team.

Patrick Priebe, who runs the LaserGadgets channel on YouTube, is known for creating working replicas of weapons from various video games. His credits include weapons in the Borderlands series, Destiny, Halo and Fortnite. He also created the katana from Cyberpunk 2077.

We also found a guy who plays the main theme from Skyrim on wine glasses. Due to the fact that I'm close to being tone-deaf, I will refrain from giving my review.

And do you guys have any favorites that should be included in this list, but may have been missed by us (well, the Internet is a vast place...)? Or do you create something yourself that you think is worth bragging about? I give you the comments section.

Started writing about games on the SquareZone website. Later, he wrote and managed the non-existent PSSite.com, and currently runs his own blog about games. He hasn't yet written a text that he would be 100% satisfied with. He started his adventure with games at the age of 3, when he managed to convince his father to buy a C64 computer. The love for electronic entertainment awakened by Flimbo's Quest blossomed during the first adventures with Heroes of Might & Magic, reaching its peak after purchasing the first PlayStation. As he grew older, he had more encounters with Nintendo portable consoles, and also returned to the PC as an additional gaming platform. He collects games and is a fan of emulation.
