Olly Moss is a genius. Some of his film posters (that, like Resistance 3, are heavily orange) are amazing, particularly There Will Be Blood and Robocop. I looked through everything on his website recently and it's such a good collection of artwork.
EDIT: Just seen the Blade Runner set. His version of Pris might be my favourite thing. Ever.

Those are pretty cool. I checked the full gallery and it's certainly worth looking at just for the facepalming when you finally figure out who it is. Some are hard especially the real people with generic hair. I'm still not sure who a few are.

I saw this on Tumblr about a week ago (since I follow Olly Moss on there) I'm still just impressed by it as I was then.

Although my ultimate favourite is Polygonal Cloud from FFVII.

Pac-Man and Mrs Pac-Man
Pyramid Head
Guybrush Threepwood
A grim reaper of some sort, from Grim Fandango by the looks of it
Um...EDIT: Oh wait, no, it's Link, I totally see that now
The Heavy
The Engineer
Carmen Sandiago (nice use of maps)
Gordon Freeman
The Soldier
No freaking clue
Princess Peach
Snake (Snake? Snaaaaaaaaaaake!)
Some Mario villain I think is called a Shy Guy
Chun-Li
The Brothers Mario
Uh...is this the guy from Kingdom Hearts?
No idea who the last one is either
The one before Peach is Guile from Street Fighter, and I'm fairly certain the last two are both Cloud from FF7(the first one being his character look from Advent Children and stuff, and the second one actually being from the original PS1 game)

Is it a bad thing I almost knew who was everyone instantly? (only needed to look at the full size version of Carmen Sandiago to realize it was her, the maps confirmed it and for the Clouds, the final one made it clearer for the previous one).

Nonetheless, these are pretty much awesome.

I thought the next to last one was either Tidus or Squall. Been quite a while since I played either of those, but they're the first two that popped to mind.

My first thought was Tidus. But yeah, the silhouette for Squall, Cloud, Vaan, and most any of the recent main male characters all look the same.

are you sure? the second to last looked like Tidus from FF10
Its the earring that gives it away. Tidus' isn't shaped that way.
Spiky hair. It's always the spiky hair.

This is why the Team Fortress 2 character design is utterly brilliant from a multiplayer point of view.

That is amazing :D Who said videogames can't be art? *Hint Hint* I recognized at least 90% of them. I got hung up on a few, but that is pretty cool. It's all well done/

That was damn well worth my time. I want to buy them ><
I was calling out the names as I scrolled down haha. I laughed at the old Cloud sprite, then the modern Cloud from Advent Children.
