Fan art or fanart is artwork that is based on a character, costume, item, or story that was created by someone other than the artist.

Except none of the elements in this were actually created by him. Much less impressive. Good effect, I'm not denying that, but I just came in here expecting an original artwork :(

Define original please? He had an idea and he used the tools and resources he had to bring it to life. Sure the individual parts are not original but he never claimed they were. The idea behind a piece of art is just as important as the individual elements.

Well we are all entitled to our opinions and the fact that you have one and that this elicited a feeling of dissatisfaction in my mind proves it is indeed art. Some may argue that art is MORE about ideas than execution.
