Stephen King is known as the King of Horror for a reason: For years and years, he has been creating scary stories that spook fans in the best ways possible. His books and movies have featured a variety of monsters, from the supernatural ones to the everyday fears that everyone has.
Due to his success and popularity, tons of pieces of artwork have been made and shown off online, as a way to honor this man, his characters, and his tales. Down below, 10 different fan art examples are listed out, and they are all one-of-a-kind celebrations and true masterpieces.
King Country
An artist named Jordan Monsell produced this print, which is first up here today. Titled, King Country, it puts more than 170 characters and Easter eggs, all from Stephen King, into one detailed and whimsical place.
Everyone will surely recognize, say, a certain dog and a specific clown, but see if the other references can be guessed, too! And then gather up all the answers via firewireblog.com.
Carrie Gets A Disney Makeover
One of Stephen King’s most well-known heroines would be Carrie White. On fanpop.com, Princess_pie posted a mashup of Carrie and Cinderella, one of Disney’s most notable princesses. Both of these characters had not-so-nice mothers/stepmothers, so this piece of art, made with Pixlr, was a clever and cool idea.
Worlds Collide
A lot of Stephen King-inspired fan art puts several stories on display, all at one time. Just look at this one from AmandaPainter25 on Twitter, for example: As a lifetime fan, she made this for other fans to enjoy, and it has characters from The Shining, It, Pet Sematary and Cujo!
Yes, those twins, Pennywise, Gage, and that dog were already pretty creepy. Altogether, they become even more menacing.
Man’s Best Friend
Speaking of Cujo… Many of the monsters in Stephen King’s books and movies are flat-out evil, and all they want to do is cause despair and destruction. That was not the case with this titular character, though; he was just a normal dog who got sick and who became something else. It was super sad.
And all of this is seen in artwork done by Mon10 and shared on Deviant Art, called Cujo's reflection.
The State Of Maine
True fans of this author know that several locations are reused and referenced in his works, such as Derry and Castle Rock. On Reddit, dienaked posted a map of Stephen King's Maine, and it shows towns, along with accompanying and frightening images.
Not only does this look neat, but it can also help those who are wondering how far certain characters live from one another!
The Hole
Some may forget that The Shawshank Redemption is from Stephen King, as well; it is not as horror-filled as some of the others mentioned on this list, but it is a fan favorite film.
One fan is Misaky, who created this artwork, which is based on a favorite scene from a movie and which can be found on Deviant Art.
Gang’s All Here
A Redditor, artur6mets, was surprised with this drawing by their girl, who is clearly an artist. A bloody book, a red balloon, a field of corn, a tricycle... There are some recognizable graphics here, all meshed together for a true work of art.
The Losers Club
Next up is another piece from Deviant Art, and this one is credited to BoscoloAndrea. Georgie is seen in his raincoat, with his paper boat and without an arm. Henry Bowers is shown holding a knife and getting hit in the head with a rock. Bev is running with a sink full of blood. Pennywise is chasing all of them.
There's lots going on here, and it is all a wonderful nod to It.
A Story Within A Story
Who all has ever seen a photo of Stephen King made up of Stephen King characters? Well, that is what is next on the list! Created by bennetthaselton and shared to Reddit, this features all the big names in the King of Horror’s universes. And when they are all put next to one another, they show off his iconic face. This is the perfect thing for those who can't get enough of this writer and his works.
Shining Sugar Cookies
Let’s end on a sweet note… Fan art does not have to be a painting, a drawing, or a graphic made on the computer. A perfect example of how diverse and different and darling art can be would be these cookies!
Shared on Imgur by verbal327, these sugar sweets have scenes and objects from The Shining all over them, and they almost look too good to eat. Almost.
