Game-Art-HQ is a website that provides game related artworks which were released by game developers as well as detailed fan art and sometimes cosplay photos. Unique to this website are art projects and tributes organized about video games. These have been featured on many web portals like chip.de Eventhubs[1] and Shoryuken. One of them, the Street Fighter Anniversary Art Tribute, was organized in cooperation with Capcom[2] While fan art is mostly used for drawn art, Game Art HQ also considers cosplay, sculptures and crafts as artworks relevant for the site. Additionally, there are interviews with game producers,[3] artists and cosplay models[4] done from time to time. The website aims to promote art by video game companies as well as helping independent artists to get more exposure. While there are many communities supporting and showing fan art, there are strong guidelines and quality standards on Game Art HQ. Another difference with portals which show fan art to generate revenue is that Game Art HQ is publishing the artworks only with the clear permission by the creator(s).
