Here at Save Game, we love artists.  There are a lot of great artists out there who have been so moved by some games that they’ve been inspired to create really great pieces.  We wanted to recognize some of those artists.  Fan art is truly a labor of love.  The subjects don’t belong to the artist, and they can never actually make profit off of any copyrighted material, but they still do it and they still share with others.  For our first fan art feature, we talked to Roxanne Meares and learned a little about what she loves and why.

scribblenautslogo

Scribblenauts Remix for iOS lets you play as Maxwell, whose notepad will create any object you can think of.  Well most objects anyway, you can’t produce trademarked objects or anything that couldn’t be shown on pre-primetime television (sorry phalliphiles).  Maxwell uses these objects to complete objectives and to collect Starites, which serve as the goal object in every stage.   The scenarios are pretty creative and they vary from filling an aquarium with five different ocean animals to creating an extinction event to kill off the dinosaurs.
