Fan Art! Or How I Stopped Caring and Hated deviantArt

Fan tributes are an interesting thing. They can range from normal to “HELP HELP CALL THE COPS!” We’ll be looking at one of the sanest methods of tribute… most of the time. Fnn art! Fan art exists for everything. The more popular and well-liked a movie/show/game is the better the actual art. Even small time internet shows can get some excellent art. Just look around and you’ll find it. The Irate Gamer on the other hand… hoo boy. We’re aware he’s not well-liked or popular. Well, he’s popular for all the wrong reasons. Point is he has a fan art section at his site and it suuuuuucks. So I’m going to go through each picture and tell you why his fans are possibly brain-damaged. This article is a remake of an older one that I deleted. I’m redoing it because there’s some new pictures and… just wow. Prepare for a world of bad photoshops and awful sketches. Follow along with me: http://www.theirategamer.com/fanart.htm

UPDATE: Bores add "fan remixes" of his theme and shuffled some of the pictures. Picture 1: This one is given to us from Giovanni Costa. Mr. Costa here took the image of Bores behind a large pile of NES games, added some filters, and placed some over-sized NES carts behind him. I should warn you, this is the good stuff. Picture 2: Sam Miskovic takes the cover art to Super Mario USA (the Japanese release of the US Super Mario Bros. 2) and replaces Mario with Bores. Tracing was obviously used here. Picture 3: An ugly piece with Bores flipping off the audience with an expression of … confusion? With Devil Bores and Ronnie standing behind him (Ronnie giving him bunny ears) and Cousin Joey in the corner yelping “I like games”. Bores is also wearing a that says “Shit Burgers”. Did someone out there really find that line funny enough to consider it “shirt-worthy”? Get used to this image. Picture 4: A bizarre picture with a Liefeld-proportioned IG stepping (?) on… what is that? A bunch of gaming related images mashed-up into a creature? Ow, my brain already hurts. Picture 5: Seth Hay of OrangesDesigns provides us with a standard image of a filtered IG photo (the one used on the DVD cover) surrounded by a ton of grey and some video game sprites. Just dull. Picture 6: It’s Picture 3 re-colored so IG and Joey are now zombies, Devil Bores and Ronnie are just heads because the black background makes their clothes disappear, IG’s shirt now says “I H8 ET” (wow, clever) and the words “HAPPY HALLOWEEN” are pasted across it. Laaaame. Picture 7: Eric “The Wise Sage” Allen shows off his EPIC photoshop skills taking various shots of IG and placing them over a fire background. So you want your friend to burn in hell? Oh wait, it’s meant to be anger. Picture 8: Bores’ title card artist “DatBoiDrew” provided a simple picture of a smiling IG holding a controller. I have nothing against Drew, he’s a great artist. He just needs to get away from Bores. I think he has, he hasn’t done any work for him in a LONG time. My guess is Drew did this for commissions but wouldn’t do it for free like Marobot or MasterTheCreator. Picture 9: Here, SmirkStudios.com (no credit from Bores, just going by the name on the pic) took IG’s TMNT title card and recolored each Bores to be green with a bandanna. This picture was already lame, this makes it worse. Picture 10: An ultra-ugly crayon drawing from John Ceron with IG stepping on ROB with his name floating next to him. Chris Simpson Bores? Oh, from that one joke in The Simpsons Game video… gross. Picture 11: Another picture from Mr. Ceron, this time it’s a crayon recreation of the title card for IG’s Q*bert video. Something he could have easily traced but instead made this ugly-ass crap. Picture 12: Mmmm, MS Paint from a Mr. Dan Good. We see Bores with a major “derp” face getting eaten by the shark from Jaws. “In cinimas july 17” Typos and MS Paint, this guy just didn’t care. Either that or this is deliberate hate art that Bores didn’t see through. I’m thinking the latter. Picture 13: Here’s something I‘m fairly sure wasn‘t submitted to him but rather he stole.. This picture was taken from the brentalfloss video “Internet People 2”. You can view it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0iouXTB32M I do like how he added an annotation that says “I’m a plagiarist and generally suck balls”. The artwork was done by a user called “SharkeyeJones” on YouTube Picture 14: Man that’s blurry *checks to see if contacts are in* Nope, the picture’s just badly made. We’ve got an assortment of various IG related crap with Bores and Wise Sage in the center, Wilson standing next to them, an upside-down Jaws (didn’t know he could swim in the sky), ROB in the back, and a giant floating Predator head. That Predator didn’t want to hunt so they turned him into a head that can’t do anything. Picture 15: A surprisingly decent photoshop of IG as Link with the Zelda logo edited as “The Legend of Irate Gamer”. Something that shows effort. That’s not going to last. For some reason I can only right-click and view image to see it, if I click it normally it goes to a 404 page. Strange. Onto page 2! Picture 16: A boring parody of the Alien vs. Predator poster with “Gamer vs. Predator” and the tagline “Whoever wins…. Well wins”. Wow how long did that take you to think up? Here’s a better one “Whoever wins… oh who are we kidding? The Predator would eviscerate this moron” In a case of awful site design, I’m unable to click the rest of the images on this page. Just right-click and “view image” to see it. Picture 17: Another photoshop, this time Bores placed in front of sprites from Godzilla: Monster of Monsters on the NES. I’d say this would be a title card for a possible Godzilla episode, but this has too much effort put into it. Picture 18: What the? What the hell is going on here? Let me introduce you to Karbia Yuan, known on YouTube as “Cyclopsis” and on deviantArt as “Chotetsumaru” Basically he’s a fanfic writer but with pictures instead of words. He’s an AVGN and Channel Awesome fan, but sadly he’s also an Irate Gamer fan. Showing just how little taste this weeaboo has (oh yeah, he’s a major weeaboo). If his real name looks familiar, he’s the guy that provided the recolored Mega Man sprites for IG’s Aladdin video. Mr. Yuan’s specialty is fanfic drawing, taking completely unrelated characters and putting them together. This gets ultra-creepy with pictures like AVGN and Princess Elise from Sonic 06 kissing (dude, he’s a married man), Kevin from Home Alone getting a harem (dude, he’s like 10), and *shudders* Irate Gamer kissing video game characters and getting his own harem. *holds back vomit* But when he isn’t creeping us out, he just makes random pictures of video reviewers with characters unrelated to them. Like Picture 19 here. We see Crono, Strider Hiryu, Willow, Rash from Battletoads, Guyver, and Bores attacking the skull ship from Super C. Other than the ship itself, what do any of these characters have to do with IG? I don’t know, Mr. Yuan is insane. You can view more of his insanity here:

http://chotetsumaru.deviantart.com/ UPDATE: Turns out that's not Rash, that's Zitz. He wrote the wrong name in the description. Thanks to starofjustice for pointing this out. Picture 19: More shit from Mr. Yuan. We’ve got Pimple from Battletoads, Sakura from Naruto, Bomberman, Dale Doback from the movie Step Brothers and Bores… eating breakfast. I just came to a horrible realization, he spent time on this picture. He put time into a picture of random characters eating breakfast. You see why I don’t like deviantArt? Picture 20: We move on from weeaboo crap to just regular crap. These are the “Irate Gamer Game Ratings”, which is just a bunch of black & white shots of Bores from various videos. I guess they’re supposed to be his emotions? Picture 21: A deformed picture with a giant Mario, a tiny Donkey Kong, and giant IG just… standing there. Bores is giving the “Reggie Not My Problem” look. No, it is your problem. You put this awful picture up on the site. Then again, PJA can’t use photoshop properly so… who knows? Picture 22: An awful photoshop of the original Godzilla movie poster. Bores is plastered in the front and the tagline says “King of the Monsters meets the King of the Reviewers” Bores, did you make this? Picture 23: A poor God of War photoshop with IG’s face deformed onto Kratos’ body. This immediately dives into uncanny valley. Picture 24: Speaking of uncanny valley, skcusremagetari really got Bores’ bizarre red-faced expressions in this one. Though this might be traced. Also, Advent Children poster? UPDATE: Turns out one of my readers made this. There's two secret messages. First, read "skcusremagetari" backwards. Then, read the letters covered with blood on the posters. Great work h.k.m for doing this. UPDATE 2: Well that was fast. Instead of deleting the image, he edited it. The blood has been replaced with red-lines and they now spell out "Irate Lives", and the name changed to "reverofegasesiw" which is backwards for "wisesageforever". Does this mean Bores actually reads this waste of space? Or did one of his fans tell him? Something to ponder. But you truly are a fool Bores. When I learned of the secret message, I immediately saved the image. To the people that missed out, scroll to the end of the post to see it. Picture 25: We’ve got a Yu-Gi-Oh card! “Chris Bores and R.O.B.” with infinite attack and defense points. Funny thing is there used to be two Yu-Gi-Oh cards here, but I guess the other one was dumped because it didn’t give him infinite power. Picture 26: OH GOOD GOD NO! This is what you call art vomit. What the fuck is wrong with this guy? *ahem* So from what I can see there’s Shy Guys, Link, a Bob-Omb, the Nintendo Power logo, Captain N, the Japanese boxarts to Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario USA merged with the word “Copy” over them, and a constipated looking Bores. This is all filtered in a … ugggh disgusting. Picture 27: Ha ha, you lost your undeserving game collection. It’s that same picture of Bores standing behind the large pile of games, but they’ve been set on fire. He says “Aw crap that was $5,000 go to waste”. I don’t think this is fan art either, destroying his collection, making fun of his poor grammar, did Bores really not see this is hate-art? Picture 28: PJA returns with another lame photoshop, this time Bores is placed on Old Snake’s face from a promotional picture of Metal Gear Solid 4. Why is everything green? Picture 29: An odd sketch of Bores raising his hand. You’re not in school why are you doing that? Oh wait, he’s supposed to be throwing his controller. Now he just looks like a spaz. There’s also lame references to his videos, including a shelf with word “Tetris” and a Piranha Plant in the background. Weeeeeeak. Picture 30: Ow, this one hurts. It’s a bunch of IG’s titles cards, or “posters” as he calls them, squished together into one ugly piece of fan art.

Picture 31: Oh dear… Looks like a 10 year old just discovered MS Paint. We’ve got IG wearing sunglasses, holding a shotgun having just killed a woman (I don’t know if that’s supposed to be someone). Apparently this is a Back to the Future parody with the DeLorean replaced by a Hummer. Say, do you remember the scene in Back to the Future where Marty killed a woman with a 12-gague? Must’ve slipped my mind.

The last picture on page 2 is broken, my guess it that was probably another bad photoshop. We’re almost done people, onto page 3! We can actually click the images now. Picture 32: Not that we would want to… here’s an MS Paint made movie poster with IG wearing a fake mustache and badly-drawn Mario hat. “From director Ben Henderson. Chris Bores as Super Mario” This might actually be worse than the real Super Mario Bros movie. Picture 33: The return of Karbia! This time we have IG ripping a man in half… yikes. Don’t ask me who he’s ripping in half, Mr. Yuan doesn’t say who it is. Picture 34: Seriously? *sighs* A badly-edited Contra 4 box art with the characters heads replaced by IG nad Q*bert. Why Q*bert? He’s not badass! Picture 35: Wow we’ve REALLY gotten into “not even trying” territory here. Come on, he hasn’t even released Season 2 but the fans are already planning the cover art for Season 3? It’s a bad edit of the Super Mario Bros. 3 boxart (oh, that’s why it’s Season 3) with Bores’ head over Mario’s. It probably would’ve helped if you removed the Nintendo logos all over it… just saying. Picture 36: I’m at a lost of words with this one. It’s just Bores standing there giving one of his “I’m so much better than you” looks while a bunch of cartoon characters look at him. The only one I recognize is Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. I… I really don’t get it.

Update: The guys standing next to Doofenshmirtz are Chris McLean and Chef from Total Drama Island. The animals in the top-left corner are from an Argentine film about Noah's Arc. This only makes the picture more confusing.

Update: 2600theatari/Charlie claims he made this. A while back he posted a video that says "My IG fanart (not made by me)" That title is a major contradiction. Picture 37: Another Karbia creation, he really does creep me out. In the foreground we have Bores standing next to Jill Valentine (in her Resident Evil 3 clothes), in the background is… who the fuck is SuperYoungLegend? Oh, one of his dA friends. He’s standing next to… MarzGurl? Oh jeez. What is wrong with this guy? The picture is called “Double Dating 2”. Okay, I can’t hold it in anymore *runs to toilet* Picture 38: A sketch recreation of IG’s James Bond photo, it’s bad let’s move on. Picture 39: Argggh! More Karbia Yuan! Thankfully it’s the last one. Here we have Bores and Tifa from Final Fantasy VII doing the Caramelldansen… WHY?! Apparently other than creepy-as-hell fanfics, another specialty of his is having random characters do the Caramelldansen. Going by his page he’s done this 43 times. *sighs* We’re almost done we’re almost done. I should mention that clicking the image on IG’s site leads to a 404, once again “right-click and view image”. Picture 40: Here’s The Irate Jedi. Which is just a derp-faced Bores photoshopped on Starkiller’s body. Moving on… Picture 41: Last image of page 3! Oh God it’s dick-neck! No, it’s just a horrible photoshop of Bores placed over Snake Plissken’s head. The words “Irate Gamer Kicks Ass” floating next to him. You can tell it’s lazy because the “Kicks Ass” part is poorly scribbled. UPDATE: Turns out that was not Snake Plissken, that was The Comedian from Watchmen. Huh... Thanks Shaolin Dave for telling me this. There! That’s the last piece of IG fan-art! … Sort of. The reason I redid this article was something I heard from Gatuca who heard it through TheArchfiend. IG put up a picture that had a secret message. However I didn’t get to see it by the time I heard about it. Thankfully some good people on YouTube uploaded the image, and proof that it was indeed on IG’s website. See them here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wskyoWuuaUU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZbaLz8UNe4 That’s hilarious how he didn’t catch that. Goes to show how far he’ll go to get fanart, even if one of the pictures involves someone from Channel Awesome (an associate of Cinemassacre). Woo! That’s all the IG fanart on his site. What have we learned? The only people willing to make fanart have zero motor skills, never used photoshop, or 12 years old. Yay? And to Karbia Yuan, STOP BEING SO CREEPY! You’re all the deviantArt stereotypes rolled into one. That’s all for now. Take care. UPDATE! Here's the original image that Bores altered.
