A Persona 4/Mother 3 mash-up, found on Danbooru (sorry, I have no idea who the original artist is, though I’d definitely love to know and give proper credit). Like JC and Eric, I adore fan art, and because I’ve been asked to pass along a taste of my usual stomping grounds during my tenure, here are a few recent favorites!

Hope no one minds more Persona, which happens to be like my all-time favorite JRPG, btw. Like this lovely, and massive, piece (be sure to click the image for the full-sized version)  by “Celery” that features every major character from Personas 1-4. I have no idea why everyone’s holding a household appliance; I’m assuming it’s a meme that I have zero familiarity with:

Via some random Japanese image board comes a ton of anime/game character mash-ups, including Yukiko and Chie from P4 as Morrigan and Hsien-Ko from Darkstalkers:

Though my absolute favorite costume swap would have to be Peach and Samus:

Speaking of princesses, Peach gets plenty of attention, whereas Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy gets hardly any (well, she is new after-all). Expect for the following, and it somewhat confirms many people’s suspicions since day one:

As for the Mushroom Kingdom’s greatest champion, check out “Mario, Patron Saint of Brooklyn” by Butt Johnson:

Sticking with Nintendo, and back to Pixiv once again, a pretty neat-o Pokemon piece from Tomioka Nirou that’s also a bit different from the norm:

Time for more Darkstalkers and yet another random Japanese image board. Most are from Udon’s Darkstalkers Tribute book, though I’m not entirely sure about this one (Update: readers are saying it’s by Alex Ahad —jc):

Finally, here we have a bunch of Street Fighters setting aside their differences and lending a helping hand. Some will find the following endearing, some almost offensive. Hence why I find it rather fascinating:

BTW, I should mention that in addition to my own site, I also try to curate the best in video game fandom and artistry over at the Life Meter Comics blog!
