Video Game Characters For Minimalists

Riffing off of Gary Clarke's "Movie Posters for Minimalists" set, illustrator InfiniteContinues creates his own series of images exploring how you can pick out familiar video game characters from a few basic forms.

"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," explains InfiniteContinues, who currently works as an artist for SCE Europe.

I picked out five favorite pieces and pasted the below. You can see the rest of the artist's series on his Flickr set.
