Fans recreate favorite characters in Scribblenauts style

by JC Fletcher { Jun 29th 2009 at 12:25PM }

Scribblenauts has inspired something wonderful over at NeoGAF: fan-created images of popular game characters and other pop-culture figures in the game's adorable, understated style. It's as if you could summon, say, Phoenix Wright in the game.

We've picked out some favorites from what has become two threads of Scribblenauts fanart. It's pretty hard for us not to just post every single piece of fanart from both threads! Trust us, there's plenty in both threads for you to discover, and since the artists have started taking requests from other GAFfers, there will continue to be more for a while.

Above: Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey, Tomba, and Kirby, by SpacePirate Ridley; Lost's John Locke by MrCheez; surfing Raichu, Travis Touchdown, Optimus Prime, and Manny Calavera by Divvy. Look at all the greatness that has already been brought into the world by Scribblenauts, by people who haven't even played it!

Something about that Scribblenaut Travis Touchdown makes it look like he's jackin his beam katana. It doesn't LOOK like it needs to be recharged, perhaps I'm wrong.

STRAWBERRY ON THE SHORTCAKE

so... this morning I read the forum at the other end of the source link, and the people in that thread seem like total douchebags. The thread was started by somebody who wasn't the one doing the artwork, and then people heaped on tons of requests like it was no big thing for an artist to just crank out these things by the fifty-fold.

It's that kind of stuff that makes me glad forums stopped being "cool" like ten years ago.

On a less judgmental note, the artwork is really nice. I'm sure by the time the game is released people will be expecting these characters to be hidden in the game somewhere.
