Art Attack Friday is your weekly look at videogame fan art created by a talented artist.
Typically, Art Attack Friday is all about very detailed artwork. This time though, we’re taking a minimalistic approach to videogame art. Flickr user Infinite Continues was inspired by these minimalist movie posters and made some minimalist videogame characters pieces. The pieces are all extremely simple, but if you live and breathe videogames, then you can recognize every character from his work:
It’s a testament to the details of these character designs that they can be recognised when reduced to a few simple shapes and colours.
Indeed it is. Be sure to check out his Flickr page for more of his minimalist videogame pieces.

Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.
