Artist Michael Whelan is calling out the Etsy store The Geek Find for shameless copyright abuse. A month ago Whelan’s Tumblr helped highlight that the Etsy store for apparently re-printing and selling other artist’s work – including chopping the signature off the print. Whelan’s account noted that Etsy required the original owners to step forward with […]

Superhero Week: Mechanical moving Spider-man mask
When Spider-man or Venom’s mask eyes narrow is that a trick only comic book illustrators and special effects wizards can make? No, small UK company No Limit Designs have a cosplay set up that creates the same effect. No Limits want to produce the highest quality specialist costumes and are looking to extend their relationship […]

Anime fidget spinners
Are you in on the fidget spinner craze? They’re surprisingly addictive and live up to their name. Any extra energy? Spin the crazy little device and see how long it distracts you for. Light In the Box might be best known as one of the biggest companies to sell cosplay costumes and accessories but it […]
The cosplay pool party that is Colossalcon
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 […]
