Making Artwork from Games

[TheFrugalGamer]

I've been experimenting with making liminal spaces in the Sims 4 lately, and thought I'd see if I could get some feedback on these. It's fun to see what images I can come up with using the objects in the game given how much freedom you get in build mode. Have you ever tried to make artwork out of game images?

















I think my favorite one is the pic showing the back of the fridge

Sims was always a great tool for creating rooms. I remember Sims movies being hyped in the early days of Youtube, probably for it being quite easy to use.
Nice light-and-shadow effects. Those room textures would make some decent backgrounds for RPGs for example. Better than... eh... taking photos of locations that would fit as a background scene.

Once, I made a comic out of screenshots of Super Smash Bros 1. The Pause button opened a camera menu with little freedom of movement, but nevertheless it kept some embarrasing moments for the characters still in the picture.

I loved that Super Smash Brothers feature! I used to collect silly screenshots of the characters in ridiculous poses, and I even turned some of them into 100x100 profile icons somehow. I can't remember if I did it via emulation, or just photographing the screen, but it was fun.

I had originally planned to use these screenshots as images in some kind of Twine game. I may still do that, but I don't have any story in mind yet. I think it'd be fun to draw characters on top of them or maybe make a point-and-click game based on them. Not sure atm, but it was fun trying things out!
