An anime convention held at Kalahari Waterpark in Sandusky Ohio? Yup. It’s Colossalcon and it has been going for years. The cosplay is a challenge there. If you plan to jump into the pool you need to have a costume that’ll survive the splash. You certainly want to avoid the baking heat of dressing up […]
Wait? Wut? Sexy C-3PO body paint?
We’ve featured Kay Pike before with her incredible Deadpool. I think it’s because of her that the term ‘cospaint’ is gaining traction along with ‘cosplay’. It’s wrong on so many levels to say ‘sexy’ and ‘C-3PO’ in the same sentence. Kay is performing art here and some incredible art at that! Mind you, cospaint involves […]
Are Destiny’s Exo the most underrated race?
In Destiny 1 there are three PC races – humans and the awakened (who were once human) and the robots who became sentient know as Exo. Disclosure – my spiky purple pineapple of a Titan is an Exo but I can’t put help notice the race isn’t that common. Is that because they lack flesh? […]
The Mask dance cosplay
Have you seen the Mask movie? It has Cameron Diaz and Jim Carry in it and follows the first slice of action from the comics. I have and really enjoyed it. In particular I enjoyed the dancing scenes between the two. Skip forward to Monteal ComicCon 2016 and you can check out Simon Fontaine and […]
LEGO egg bursts into a Facehugger
Daniel Stoeffler’s Facehugger and egg is a LEGO masterpiece. The Facehugger itself is a meter long while the egg is some 50cm high. That feels like about the right size to me. Deadly LEGO. We’ve featured LEGO Facehuggers before on Geek Native like this one from Carlos Valero but hats off in a messy bloody […]
11 illustrations that mock skimpy female armour
Is there a time and a place in RPGs or fantasy novels for chainmail bikinis? It’s a debate. We’re (should be) beyond objectification but if someone wants to dress their character in skimpy armour why shouldn’t they? Wherever there’s a heated debate there’s humour. The following eleven artists have all chipped in and helped contribute […]
Snipe a famous Kickstarter: Amazing Horse, Badger and Narwhal
You’ve probably encountered the Narwhal song, Badger Badger Badger and the Amazing Horse. The band behind those geek legends have a Kickstarter out to make models for each. At the time of writing there’s 70 hours on the clock and £3,000 to go. There’s every chance this Kickstarter will come in over the line and […]
Adorable tiny dragons for your garden!
These are terribly cute and hopefully not all that dangerous at all. These little dragons are designed to sit in your garden, window box or chunky pot plant and keep it safe. Mini Dragon [Show me this one] Mini Dragon Roaring [Maybe this one] Red Mini Dragon [This one!] Mini Dragon Playing with Labybird [Mooar!] […]
Yondu’s Father’s Day card
Michael Rooker, the actor who plays Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy, has shared this fan art. It’s perfect for Father’s Day. The nod to Rocket Raccoon works exceptionally well, I think. Does anyone recognise the artist signature?
Looking for geeky iron on patches?
Iron on patches (or sew if you’ve got the skill) are a great way to take a ruined pair of jeans or an old jacket and turn them into something geeky. I was researching iron on patches looking for something to decorate some fabric shelf storage boxes bought to stash bits and pieces in the […]
