Hang on, I’ve got to tell you about this weirdly awesome thing someone (I mean, some super fan) did for The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered. You know how there’s no physical edition? Well, one fan didn’t get the memo and crafted a game case… from African Rosewood, of all things. Seriously. Why African Rosewood? Who knows. Maybe it just looked cool sitting there, begging to be turned into something nerdy and fantastic, like a wooden game case. It’s got room to hold a disc and everything—totally legit.
So, this whole jazz started on April 22 when the remastered version sneakily dropped for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Nintendo Switch 2 might get lucky too, but shhh—don’t quote me on rumors. Whether it’s on the grapevine or just hopeful dreaming is anyone’s guess.
Now, jump forward: since then, folks have been unleashing their inner artists because, face it, gaming inspires the wildest creations. Like, one dude recreated John Wick in the game, leading to movie quote explosions in comment sections. Then there was this other gamer, who went old-school historical and cooked up an Abraham Lincoln-inspired character. Naturally, because this is the internet, someone chimed in, “Hey, he should totally be a vampire hunter!” Classic.
Oh, Reddit. That’s where Stick-In-The-Mud shows up. He (or she?) shared this image of their handiwork, bragging about their African Rosewood creation. No official release? No problem, right? It’s high time custom fan art got its spotlight. Made two cases, offered one to a fellow fan. Because sharing is caring—or just cool.
But wait, there’s more to this loony fandom creativity saga. Another fan went rogue with bleach on a black shirt! Trust me; it’s not a fashion disaster—turns out, they recreated the game’s promotional art. Genius, or madness? Possibly both. The shirt’s either a total hit or incredibly misunderstood. Can’t decide.
And let’s not forget this oil painting mastermind. Spent 25 hours capturing THE moment you step out of the sewer into that glorious game world. Twenty-five. Hours. I can barely scribble a doodle that quick. Yet here’s this person crafting masterpieces while I can’t even organize the apps on my phone.
Oblivion’s got this whole world spinning around it, and these fans are just… living it, breathing it, and sometimes, painting or wood carving it. There’s a vibrant community out there, and sure, maybe their conversations are mostly virtual—but their creativity, that’s as real as it gets.
