I always really like it when talent at Deviant Art (or any similar site; Etsy, for example) scores the limelight. This is certainly true for Mads Peitersen who’s had their artwork highlighted by the mighty Kotau. Mads has drawn some fine – but every so slightly creep – bio tech systems. I mean “biology” meets […]
The Birth of a Jedi
The Birth of a Jedi is an oil on canvas painting, 10ft by 7ft, by Robert Burden. Burden describes his paintings as “epic portraits” of the action figures he had as a boy (looks like he’s still got a few too). The Birth of a Jedi showcases a number of iconic Star Wars toys. The […]
Super Mario pavement animation
This is pretty cool – and I’m not even sure how they did it; let’s just say ‘cgi’ and speculate no further. Surfap has animated the first level of Super Mario Bros in, well, a guttery 3D effect. There seems to be a bit of a Mario rush in recent weeks. Can we get enough […]
Edward Scissorhands versus… The Thing
Who would win in a fight? The troubled Edward Scissorhands or Ben Grimm from the Fantasty Four? What’s this you say? We can’t pitch those two together in a bloody duel? Okay; what about making The Thing (aka Mr Grimm) struggle against our gothic Scissorhanded hero in a titanic battle of ‘Scissors, Paper and Stone’? […]
Aliens are here – beaten up by kids
I’ve no idea who produced these photo manipulations – they come to us via a LiveJournal community not known for remembering to credit artists. If you know; please leave a comment. Of course; these might not be photo manipulations. They look pretty real to me. Furthermore, if aliens ever did land, then I’m pretty sure […]
Evil Yoshi hungers for Mario’s blood
Is Yoshi cute? I know plenty of people who think so. I know people who think Yoshi is cute even while he’s beating them up in Super Mario Smash Brothers. But what happens as Yoshi gets older? Does he mature? Does he become evil? Just imagine what it would look like if that happened…
Will the Yeti make a return for the Doctor Who Christmas special?
Peter McKinstry is an artist and concept designer who’s worked on Doctor Who since new Who series 2, Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures. On his website he’s published a new concept art image. It looks rather impressive. What’s more – the concept art has sparked speculation. Could this be a Yeti? The Yeti were […]
Fantasy skull wallpapers for the iPhone 4
This will make me sound like a stalker – but one of the artists I like to follow closely on the web is Keith Noordzy. Keith has the knack of getting that blend of fantasy into images that would otherwise have a familiar feeling. For example, he’s published this pair of skull wallpapers for the […]
Victorian Star Wars portraits
Greg Peltz will surely get more than 15 minutes of fame for this smashing idea. He’s started to put together some fantastic Star Wars portraits – with the twist of having a Victorian air. They work so wonderfully well! Make sure you visit his blog and leave a comment.
Doctor Hoo – Who is cute as an owl? #doctorwho
The fine talent at DeviantArt are on to a new thing – Doctor Who as an owl. Turns out by drawing the Doctor as an owl you can really get across the quirks of the various incarinations. I’ve selected a few examples below. Please to visit the artists galleries and make sure they get the […]
