Artist Transforms Classic Video Games Into Romance Novel Covers

[Auron225]

I don't understand why this exists.

Exactly what I was thinking; but for some reason I like the Pac-Man one a lot Maybe cus rather than illustrated fan-fic which is always a bit obvious; it took me a second to realize what that one was.

Got to love how visual porn is very pro on girl on girl, and written porn is very pro men on men, you can shout about equality all you want, but in some thing we are just really not the same.

Check any given tumblr for refutation of that hypothesis.

Ah, now I have this stuck in my head:

Though, the Link/Zelda one is kinda hot...

I love the way Luigi's watching Mario and Peach in the background.

They should take that idea and make a movie out of it just so they can use this song:

I agree that Link could use some Fabio in that portrait. On the other hand, the Duck Hunt cover is incredible.

I love how in the Zelda one Link is trying to be chaste but Zelda is clearly going for the tongue.

If you assume that this is going by Ocarina of time it makes sense, after all that Link spent like 10 years sealed in the sacred realm, he still probably has the mind of a child. He probably doesn't know that kissing with an open mouth is a thing that people do.

Oh my gods.

BEST THREAD EVAR!!!

No seriously, I love these pictures. The best one was the Pac-romance one. ^^

Although, I gotta say, the most "romance novel-esque" is the Zelda cover. That one just nailed the style perfectly.

^^ This made my morning. Thanks OP!

I'm kidding, the protagonist in the Legend of Zelda games is Mario.

Who exactly is the romance between in the Duck Hunt one? Dog and Duck? Dog and Hunter? What the hell?

And it looks like Mario got what he desired alright... he's left it all over Peach's arm.

"Trashy" is definitely the word I would have used. Coupled with the captions, they're all so terrible I can't help but love it.

Needs more bare 6-pack chests and floaty veils

That said I liked the Street Fighter one.

And Unpantsed men too apparently. The first one especially looks somebody's going to end up with a pearl necklace if you get my meaning
