Welcome to this week’s Fan Art feature! Tim from the Team Epic Gamers here, to feature an awesome artist from the Epic Gamers group on deviantART.

Say hello to GaryStorkamp, who has a gallery full of fun. Varied with both digital 2D and 3D work, and of course, Gears of War fan art, he’s no doubt one of the well-known Epic Gamer Artists in the community. One of his most popular pieces, titled “Gears of Fun”, features Damon Baird taking a break from killing grubs. Even COG Soldiers need some time off from work!

If you want to see some more of of his work, definitely check GaryStorkamp’s page out on deviantART. If you have something you’d like to show us, be sure to visit the Epic Gamers group on deviantART or post it on the Epic Gamers forum.
