ITT: 2000s-Early 2010s era video game fanart
>>746986118Dude what if Mario was on LE DRUGS?
>>746986432Ok but what mario powerup would induce the best trip
>>746986617Wonder Seed or maybe one of those weird Mystery Mushrooms from Mario Maker 1
>>746986617Whatever he takes before the trippy parts of Super Mario Wonder.
>>746986118mario if he real
>>746986432>>746986118Mario is an allegory for communism!
>>746986931it's hip to fuck bees
>>746986939Didn't Matpat make a theory video on this back in the day
>>746986834I miss the edge, it was comfy. Everything is sarcastic now.
>>746986883why don't we ship characters anymore ;_;
>>746987135predictive programming
>>746986980this is unironically cool though
>>746986939I wanted to post this.Take a look at this ancient timestamp1259605455081.jpg
>>746987647this whole series owns
>>746986980Reminds me of Echo Night: Beyond in the most superficial way possible
>>746988147the internet needs more genuine weird shit like this
>>746987581This is how the power suit should be. I hate the hensin.
haha
>>746988045>tfw the emo girl i used to talk to looked like the peach here and thought the koopa had pretty eyelashes and called her koopytimes were so much better, man
>>746988284The world needs more genuinely weird shit in it. It's a good chunk of why life was so much more tolerable in the recent past. No need to go David Dees schizo about it (although that's fun in a funny way), but modern life being so sanitized has made all the current hard times we're facing that much worse.There's no edge, no counter-culture. Everything is just waves of the same boring shade of grey. Social media and smartphones really seems to have taken the humanity out of most people.
>>746988709absolutely putrid
>>746988709Metal looks like a cool fusion with his Neo form. What's the deal with the umbrella otters?
>>746988709>shadow is now literally just a weird human>Fatass tailsI atleast get some of these but huh? A lot of these aren't really referencing the character in question too, like rouge is a load of nothing and Silver is random bullshit go.Gotta be faithful to what Mephiles actually is tho. And not even give an example of his "mimicry" ability despite it being really well fit for this style.
>>746988951Probably OCs
>>746988951Looks more like Metal fused with Mecha from 3K.
>>746988795lol>>746988816I feel like nothing is genuine anymoreThese artworks are a window into the soul of the creator, but everything now is so irony poisoned that anything 'weird' or off-putting seems as if it is simply designed to be so in a 'meta' way, as if they were assembled by a focus group.I think the sh*rty is the best example of this, everything that comes out of that place excudes insincerity and insecurity masquerading as something else, and it reflects upon the attitudes held by the rest of the culture as a whole.
>>746986118>super_mario_DLSS5.png
>>746988709Amy and Rouge looks cute. I get the illness part for Maria but it doesn't work for a character you want to protect.
Anyone got that disturbing realistic B A B Y-scene Terranigma pic?
>>746989378wait, found it
>>746986939Why does Peach keep Mario around if he just ends up having the Mushroom Kingdom's generals purged constantly?
>>746986118>https://youtu.be/saAdrDkTFHsI just remembered this from newgrounds
>>746989127There's a lot of genuine, sincere art out there like that still, both in the present and the pieces from the past that still exist at the moment. It's just so much harder to find it in an age where insincere trash is not only tolerated but actively praised. I don't even think a lot of the art from the past was even that great, but it was human at the end of the day and a projection of the artists soul onto paper, a song or some other medium, which made them all the more valuable than whatever the fuck is going on now.Even 10 years ago, finding music, games, art and anything where you could feel the passion in them was a walk in the park compared to now, where it has to compete with fads that blow up virally and then fade almost instantly, retarded memes that make no sense and aren't supposed to and just bullshit that doesn't matter (and worse, everyone knows it doesn't matter).I'm not hopeful people will realize that they need to actually make worthwhile things in order to create something truly beautiful, but at the very least I'm comfortable standing apart from the hoi polloi and searching for true beauty in this ugly world of ours in the people that make it and their art.
>>746986118Looks like the original DLSS5 lol
>>746986118What happened to all those DALL E threads? Did it get banned from being posted on /v/? I only come to this board once in a while.

this one is an all-time classic
>>746990781It just works
>>746990734How is this early 2000-2010's, you fucking dunce? Also very fucking retarded and unfunny

This one is older than most anons posting here
>>746991412this will be Geodude in the year 2020
>>746991469This is the exact vibe that one Mushroom Kingdom stage in Brawl had
I've been here too long...
>>746989407Reasonable chuckle
>>746986980among us
>>746992291I remember seeing this on the TP Gamefaqs board. I was there there for 8.8, everyone was having a blast that day
>>746993032

>>746986980I thought this was the coolest shit when I was a wee lad
>>746986432Why he buying drugs at the butt plug factory?

>>746993373Would the world be better or worse if Hitler never got into politics?
>>746993647depends really, does the cold war still happen?because that nazi science sure did wonders for the USA during it, and no hitler=no nazisalso SMT2 doesnt get Shades!Hitler as a boss
Yo Fryman I'm freakin bonestormin over here
>>746993381I have the full resilution version right here
>>746986118if this was a new pic people would think it's AI sloppa
>>746993724that aged horribly
>>746993032>>746993724god do i feel vindicated having shat on the people who claimed "it's just an early version, it's going to look great!" and "they wouldn't announce all this stuff if they weren't certain!"
>>746986787Freeman, you handsome motherfucker!
>>746993807nevermind this is the un (less) compressed version
>>746993863i think OP's idea was to engagement-bait DLSS discussion
>>746991341Honestly I like the art style if the arms/hands were a little smaller/slimmer it'd be a solid piece, but the arms are straight up anchor arms
Pretty cool thread
>>746988584based sidhe poster
>>746993724Omfg go to the website. Casey Vasquez is now Cecilia VasquelezHoly BTFO lmao
>>746986980from the vidya-but-edgy fanart this is the best one
>>746993879Even a broken gaywad is right twice a day
>>746987647Peppinos grandpappy tardwrangling the ingredientsA family dispute over where to take the family business after grandpappy retired lead to Peppino Pizza creation while his brother Burgino continues to maintain the Burgino's Burgers n' Spahget joint
>>746988082to be fair if someone drew this in high school notebook i would think they were good at art
>>746986118When you see the very genuine nature of the internet in this time, it makes sense that everything became ironic now. I think the irony is even compounding in a way now that means it is returning to an almost genuine like state. Culture is just a reaction to the past.
>>746993741Germany was already a leading nation in chemistry and metallurgy dating back to the mid 19th century, without the pressures of war they might not have pioneered the metal forging techniques they used to produce hulls for airplanes quite as quickly which revolutionized the aerospace industry post war after the forges were brought to the United States and reverse-engineered.Much of the rocketry and space race stuff was already being researched by the likes of Robert Goddard and while the funding of the Nazi party to build the V2 expedited Von Braun's work it's likely we would have seen space exploration sooner rather than later.Without a shattered Europe the USSR might never have occupied as much land as they did and countries such as Poland and Czechoslovakia might have continued on being centers for industry and science, but then again no war might have let Stalin purge even more brilliant scientists and inventors within his own borders.However without the Nuremberg laws Jewish scientists specializing in nuclear physics might not have fled Germany so there wouldn't be a Manhattan project, and assuming the USSR doesn't get invaded there would be no lend lease so the Soviets and Communism would be much, much weaker and less capable over all.At any rate, the Swastika might have stayed fashionable instead of becoming a hate symbol, and I think that would be pretty cool.
>>746994708thank you osaka
>>746986834>made by xXxDarkSasuke420xXx
>>746987115We killed sincerity, everything is ironic now.
Slightly off topic but I miss the vidya memes of that era.
>>746986980This one is excellent.
Seriously, what the fuck went wrong in the mid-2010s?
>>746986432mariobros... our hero...
>>746994928Terrible, the helicopter should be in the upper left.
>>746999941zoomers got online
>>746999941Social media, profiling and datamining algorithms were weaponised to cause massive psychic damage within the population and traumatize several generations so we'd become useless and spend all our time bickering over things that don't matter.And all of it just so that a few techie dweebs can have an easier time gaming the stock market by making the world spiral into a behavioural sink hatefuck nightmare so that the market is more predictable, driving up the need for people like them so that silly things like world peace and happiness wouldn't obsolete their greed, which is the only thing keeping these empty miserable people from killing themselves.
>>746999941Basically social media, data collection, smart phones so everyone had internet. Really was a much more entertaining, purposeful place when it was somewhat more 'exclusive' and people were more sincere.
>>746999941pretty much what the other two anons said, but personally i'd also add gamergate and the improvements in mobile phone tech
>>746986980>6 PACKINO!
>>746988159>Basing their designs off sea turtles
>>746994004>ratbatsurely not the same one who drew a metric fuckton of dire machine porn, right?
>>746999941Phones.India got internet massively.
Has anybody got the one of Meryl laying near the MGS logo with her tits out? I'm guessing there's several of them, but it was somewhat tasteful and accurate to the OG game art
>>746999941SJW shitSocial JusticeAnitaZoePhil phishOther shit like that. Complete paradigm shift occurred 2014, swung back 2016, swung back harder after that. Idubbbz succubus chaining him up unironically created an even larger paradigm shift to where the mainstream was almost explicitly just different shades of ‘woke’ and conformity for the last 6/7 years or so
Back then, you could see a lot more "amateur" type of art online, hell, even in some official games, the concept art weren't always super detailed.Nowadays it feels like ti be seeing unless you are super lucky, you need to do actual professional level art TO START, same thing as for being recruited anywhere.It will sound strange but I miss how things used to be more simple and less strict with the talent of people.
>>746987186The 10's obsession with lesbians has to be studied.
>>747000324zoomers already were online. zoomers didn't started in 2005. they started in 1996. By the mid 2000s the early zoomers were already online.

>>746999941>government psyopping people into mindless left/right tribalism as a response to the increasing anger towards the wealthy elites due to the 2000s recession>self-loathing SA goons defense mechanism coalescing into irony culture and bleeding into the mainstream net>increasing amount of normies due to internet becoming easier to accessprobably also more I'm forgetting
>>747001582idunno about 2008 I noticed a shift in forums where faggy 13 year olds started polluting discussion. Habbo Hotel raids and gaiaonline are a testiment to that
does this count?>>747001552being gay was fun and cool until the powers that be invented new and unique ways of making it gross and hated again
>>746999941Everyone just got angrier

>>747001534Copyright hell didn't help, young people don't know but back when streaming live was new, you could play any game from emulators with no problem, no ads, you could add any music you wanted to. Then it slowly eroded creativity since you couldn't do anything you wanted.It's a shame really, I love copyrights when it protect the author, but when corpos got their hands on it they will use them to milk everything, if you want a recent example, iirc the company holding the rights for the Backrooms movie tried to copyright the color of the walls or some shit like that, Kane Pixel had to intervene.
>>746994004bottom left is kinda hot...
>>747002205watching low-view Twitch streamers who didn't care about copyright and let you request songs was quite fun.Now Twitch shadow bans your account arbitrarily if your IP gets flagged for whatever reason.
>>747001925I don't think it does because that art is fairly accurate to what happens in the book
>>747002412I also remember, before twitch was Justin.tv right? I remember when people weren't streaming, you could add a youtube playlist with whatever you wanted. It's a feature that I mis, now you have to be "online" to broadcast and it would only be your own VODs.
>>747001552some parts of the internet are still stuck in a lesbian obsession phase
>>747001534those people who made janky-looking promo art for games also did stuff like the 3D models, lighting, UI, writing, level design, etc.when studios have more staff members than actual tasks that need to be done, the focus shifts to specialists rather than generalists.
>>747001552I think this site's obsession with equating liking them with being a tranny needs to be studied instead.
>>747001552All the proto-trannies waiting for the mind virus to hit
>>746986980i used to have this on a graphic tee
>>747001949Yeah I’m pretty sure all three of those things did in fact exist on the internet back then
>>746999941This>>747000337>>747000507Also pic related, it's all about keeping people in a perpetual state of outrage.

>>746999941IT'S NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT'S ((WHO)) YOU KNOW
>>747003493We’re starting to get off-topic
This thread reminds me, I'm an Uma Musume fan and I wondered to myself "well there's plenty of fanart but does anyone make original characters in this setting?" It's ripe for it, or so I would think. So I looked around and realized not only could I not find any, I had no idea where to actually look. Deviantart is not what it used to be and finding stuff on xitter is fucking impossible unless it was posted in the last few days. If you told me 20 years ago I'd be nostalgic for shadow the edgehog nothing personnell OCs I would have slapped you, but here we are... it seems like that period of weird uncritical self expression might be a thing of the past.
>>746999941mid 2010s was the last time anyone genuinely thought things were meritocratic, and not nepotism driven. The last time people thought "I'm going to work very hard and become the next big thing. it's where "HIRE THIS MAN" came from.
>>746999941The full and final "SJW" push happened, the start of the never-ending culture war, and the destruction of any and all fandoms.
>>746986980Why didn't they base the dogshit pacman love death and robots short off this?

>>747004119fuck off
From a drawthread like 10+ years ago.
>>746988373Kek never noticed the masterball
>>747003583What we're seeing right now is a more refined version of whataboutism that focuses on tu quoque. Where a whataboutism could bring up a totally different topic to deflect, today, it's all about immediately deflecting to the 'other side' and flooding the zone with so much shit that the causal observer is overwhelmed and just assume both sides are equally bad.>>747003940Unfortunately it's gotten it's way into vidya and art as a whole. But, I see how it could attract unsavory people.So another reason is the consolidation of the internet where only a few companies control what you can see and the era of everyone having their own anglefire website to post their own art is long gone.Kinda horrifying that this image is over a decade old and it's only gotten much worse.
>>747003568Now that you told it somehow looks more a like a rat to me. Panthers are still black, jungle animals though.
>>747004005>I had no idea where to actually look.i think the best place would be pixiv probably?but yeah, funnily enough i pretty much dont know where to look for stuff like this either these days, aside from mayby newgrounds sometimes
>>746989127I agree but also retards SHOULD be embarrassed by their autistic artwork.
saved to my pc in 2007
>>746994708>At any rate, the Swastika might have stayed fashionable instead of becoming a hate symbol, and I think that would be pretty cool.Honestly it is difficult to fathom a world in which Nazis never existed in the context we remember them as from a pop culture point of view. So much of our fiction revolves around Nazi imagery as a bad guy shorthand. Even just things like Star Wars being unable to pull from them as inspiration, and therefore everything inspired by it being altered as well (assuming all this shit even exists). Almost every evil empire draws from them to some extent or by some level of abstraction.

>>746986118Interesting to think about how a lot of things in this thread were considered amateur quality back in the day. I guess it really speaks volumes about just how many FNF artstyle drawing tutorials are out there online now...
>>747006363I used to think they were corny but I could never really bring myself to hate them either.Now that I'm older I just love this kind of stuff.
>>747006363That's cute
>>746988709Always hated this.
>>746994708>>746993741>>746993647genocide and other eugenicist viewpoints were a commonly held viewpoint back in the day, it if weren't for the holocaust getting publicized and sensationalized the general public probably would've never turned against it. although that's not to say eugenicist viewpoints ever fully disappeared. i mean just look at the fucking website we're posting on right now lol

>>747005583Where is Dark Donald?
>>746999941people are really taking the opportunity to make this political or "it's the left/right's fault" when the simple truth is that it's just that the big corpos smelled money and started marketing shit and consolidating the internet and forums for the normalfagspretty much most media forms suffered for the sake of mass appeal, it's not really rocket scienceso if you really want one single villain to point fingers to you could say the problem is late stage capitalismbut OBVIOUSLY there movies/vidya/whatever still made with less than mass appeal in mind so we're good for some time

back when tf2 was good

>>746999941If you really wanna know its the way the internet shifted into even bigger shitfling fests. 2010s tumblr liberalism was only a part of the puzzle and its easy to use it as a scapegoat but its not all on them>further pushes by big corporations to take away expression to make everything more uniform>social media booms further gutted smaller platforms>late 2010s gave the death notice to Flash (before it was fully removed ofc)>more dividing culture wars>The start of the youtube algorithm slop brigade and basically shredding animation alive (as well as the initial bots that PERMABANNED you for copyright strikes)>unrest that truly never went away and only has gotten worse>2010s just came out of the 08 financal crisis which had everyone on edge and things got fueled more (Which we are still experiencing the effects from it today!)2010s was a turning point of the internet getting worse but we didn't really know how bad it was gonna get.

I feel like drawfags either did tf2 or pokemon
I despise FNF, it's fandom, the artists who try to replicate it's artstyle and everything it represents to the modern internet.I don't give a shit if it was a "le love letter to newgrounds (pico is the only cameo character)".
>>746999941Tumblr banned porn in 2018, leading up to the rise of twitter and while r34 it was always a thing, NSFW stuff became more normalized than ever in the following years.
>>746994305What do you mean to be fair? It’s an objectively good drawing.
>>746991121This would make a great Loss edit
>>747003493>filenameHang yourself, /pol/faggot. Your ilk are the whole reason why 2013 was the end of this website.
>>746993373Artist Hitler would have a long moustache since the only reason he kept it short was to fit inside the gas mask
>>746999941Internet to normalfags, moralist going "we must be BETTER", due to retarded factors, those retarded factors getting worse because people larping as moral lamps. It kinda derailed stuff into a point of no return, that probably wouldn't had happened if one of those two factors weren't so big.

>>747023073Calm down kid, if you want to bemoan why OC on 4chan died, this is the chief reason.
>>747024112I liked /r9k/'s INBT threads back then. Late 2010's sometime I went and checked it out again and it was a horrifying trashfire.
>>747000337was not expecting to read a truthbomb like this here
>>747024112Has 4chan lost popularity in recent times. I know it exploded pretty hard in like 2014-2016. I still feel like a newfag for being from ONLY 2011.
>>746991121>ah geez I'm drawn by an amateur!
>>747003235mehercle, this is fucking awesome
>>746991121
>>747007796She was so popular when she came out.
>>746986980Sometimes SA makes some good shit.Does this count as fanart?
>>746987889This looks like it'd be on the cover of some gaymur magazine celebrating Pac-Man's XXth anniversary.kino.
>>747005572
>>746986118Anyone else remember when this used to be called "alt art"? Had a lot of threads titled that way on /wg/ back when that board was still alive.
>>746986118You can just say "vidya fan art, no ai" anon.
>>747025754It got sharted on so hard a lot of people didn't come back. I thought about it but what the fuck else is there, Twitter? Christ.
A reminder that you are always here, forever and ever.>"B-b-but I left!"Yet you still thought of this shithole and came back.
>>746999941Just going through my old liked playlist I can see when the changes happen around 2013. GG happened. There was a coordinated push on all sides to muddy shit up. You can point fingers but around that time people's anger just overflowed into a total shitshow that is still being noticed today.It didn't help that at that point everyone 'had a voice' with a smartphone and social media and could just blast their own uninformed opinions out into the ether.
>>747027376Fuck that fucking doujin for turning into a fucking NTR in the sequel.
>>746989859people probably got burnt out or enough of them got kicked to /b/
>>746986617>>746986712
>>747025754It's crazy to realize there are still newfags to this day.
>>747027559>unc from 2003 thinks he coolLMAO
>>747027559and the other one I have saved.
>>747001552You know, once upon a time you'd see lesbians and everyone's first thought would be "wow I really want to stick my dick in between those two".
If you're 40 or older, how was early 4chan like?
>>747027559>>747027647why the fuck would you ever tell someone you've been coming to this horrible site for 20y
>>747027698Dust off your old thinking, unc. No one cares if you're old and still online. Reddit destroyed that social disgrace and, especially after social media became popular.
>>747027647is there any place I can see old archives from like 2005?
>>747027798Have you tried Updog?
>>747027693I'm 32 and came here around 2006 or so. There was still some shitposting but it was usually relegated to a few posters and fewer threads. There was porn but not as fetishistic, yeah anons liked their little anime girls but stuff that gets posted nowadays like the barashit or furfaggotry and brapposting would've gotten you laughed at or your thread guro-spammed.When it came to games there honestly was no better taste than the anons on /v/. Games like Killing Floor, Demon's Souls, and Stalker made their names thanks to /v/ and the general discussions that were had here were very indepth and well-thought out. And with a crass sense of humor that would get you banned in most other places.
>>7470277984chan archives have a funny thing of shitting the bed over the years so you're gonna have to bounce between different ones depending on the board you want to check out and the timeframe.For /v/, the best I got is the 4chan museum.https://4museum-v.neocities.org/?board=vHas threads going back to about 2006 or so. Sadly not even thumbnails or filenames are saved so it's really only text you'll be able to enjoy.
>>746986787>wrote a thesis about just a theory >no actual real world results from it>job is labor rather than observation >always late to workWhy was he supposed to be favored by the science team again?
>>746987889The most amusing part is seeing what characters were considered important enough back then to be featured in something like this.
>>747028256That animation is you posted is fucking amazing. I wonder if that person is still animating today.Don't get why they went to jail though.
>>747027798old.sage.moe, 2008 iirc, no pictures.
>>747028359>Sadly not even thumbnails or filenames are saved so it's really only text you'll be able to enjoy.Rather pointless. You need images for an archive to make sense.People forget though how much $$$ it was to store things and such back in the day. 20 years ago. Some archives voted threads in by popularity, it wasn't every single one. But then those places shit themselves.I'd give anything for full searchable archives with images from 2006-2016 for many boards. But its lost to time sadly.
>>747027698As a 2004 oldfag, you don't. Only time I publicly showed it was for one of moots 4chan panels. Back when he was a cool guy, at least before we found out he made /pol/ for epstein. >>747028359I feel like archives are a bad thing for 4chan since the whole point was 'you had to be there' mindset. And if something was really legendary, people would just screencap it and if everyone agreed it was good, people would save it themselves. AlsoThe more things change, the more they stay the same.
>>747030061>Some archives voted threads in by popularity, it wasn't every single one.Yeah 4chanarchive, I 'member. Honestly that should've been the way to go for the future archives that took it's place. Not every shit thread needed to be saved but there's countless gems that anons could've voted to preserve.I feel like if I delve too deep into those old threads I'll go crazy tho lol. Like when you're trying to type up a reply but forget the thread's already 404'd.
>>746986432You say that as a joke but back then that gag had a whole generation rofling
>>746987581>>746988483>>747018729Nah bullshit, I've always hated this picture, it splits the difference between suit and mech in the stupidest way imaginable and makes Samus look like some sort of bow-legged stilt clown.
>>746999941i have this weird feeling that the world did indeed end or started to end on the 21th of december of 2012, because after that everything just feels like shit.
>>746987889they should be worshipping a fucking pong paddle
>>746986118yes, supply that pedo sister raping jew scam altman with training data untainted by AI output so it doesnt cause model collapse, yes
>>746986939there was a really cool animation someone made on Newgrounds about this back around 2006, wish I could remember the name
