Stained glass is typically seen in cathedrals or castles, sending cascades of colors into the elaborate interior. Images are usually biblical or inspired by the Renaissance and were made centuries ago. But what about modern stained glass art inspired by current trends and events? That’s where Martian Glasswork steps in, creating beautiful glass artwork with a video game twist.
Rick Daniels is the master craftsman behind Martian Glasswork. He’s a self-taught artist who started working with glass in June of 2011.

Let’s take a closer look at a few of his stained glass panels:
▼ Zelda Hylian Shield design (measuring nearly 6 square feet!)
▼ Portal Companion Cube
▼ Metroid‘s Samus Aran
▼ Mega Man
▼ Master Chief from Halo
▼ Warhammer Space Marine
▼ Half Life Logo
▼ Poké Ball
▼ Fire Flower
▼ Boba Fett 
After witnessing the beauty of his finished pieces, it’s surprising to remember that Rick’s only been at it for a little over two years. You can view his complete gallery here and purchase your own stained glass marvel at his etsy shop.
