If ever you were going to get a man to do the paintings that would cover the house of your dreams, artist Dave Rapoza is your man.
In the gallery above you’ll see a selection of his best works, covering subjects like Dark Souls, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Akira, He-Man and other things people aged 25-40 grew up with thinking was totally awesome.
You can see even more stuff at his personal site, linked below.
To see the larger pics in all their glory (or so you can save them as wallpaper), right-click on the “expand” icon on the main image above and select “open in new tab”.
Fine Art is a celebration of the work of video game artists. If you’re in the business and have some concept, environment or character art you’d like to share, drop us a line!

Seems he only does limited runs of prints though. Shame really, because I’d buy a fair bit from him.
