Fan art is usually one of the easiest ways a community can show off their love for a specific fandom. Being one of the best games in the Final Fantasy series, Square Enix's Final Fantasy 7 has a very lively fanbase that consistently shares and creates new artwork about the video game. Recently, one FF7 fan combined the RPG with the 1990s animated series Hey Arnold!, re-creating Final Fantasy 7's main party members in the show's distinctive art style.
It is quite common for gaming and geekery community members to combine their fandoms together, especially when both categories provide a huge amount of source material such as different plot lines, lovable characters, and distinct settings. Some like to combine popular video game titles Final Fantasy and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, while others like to take inspiration from pop culture references, films, and well-known animated series.
