Nour Saleh is a hijab wearing Canadian. Last year she took up a Tumblr challenge to draw herself as different fictional characters. I love how Nour responded to that challenge. Not only did she imagine herself as various superheroes, she kept the hijab in all of the illustrations. I think the results work well and […]

Superhero Week: Artist reimagines superheroines with practical costumes
Geek Native once called this “drawing the impossible” back when we looked at Michael Lee Lunsford’s fully dressed superheroines. I like these additional designs from Lord Ingvard. He’s an illustrator who was experimenting with alternatives… but has found out that not everyone on the internet appreciates it. Amazingly, he’s been forced to offer apologies for […]
Superhero Week: We’re not bored of superhero movies yet
Are you getting fed up of superhero movies? Geek Native asked the question to readers and competition players. 300 responses later and analysis shows that interest in superheroes remain strong; good news for the Ant-Man movie, Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice a host of others due on the big screen over the next few […]
Superhero Week: Wonder Woman’s trousers
This new command from the always amazing Wonder Woman is brought to you by Superhero Week and Imgur where it was left without comment. I think the illustration speaks for itself. I’m slightly concerned the Green Lantern isn’t wearing anything, the dress is just a creation of will and once his ring runs out of […]
Superhero Week: How to be a Supervillain
This post is not just part of Superhero Week. It’s also part of Geek Native’s Short Film series. This charming short project sprang from the mind of Alkanoids. 7 illustrators and 7 animators had just 2 days to get the job done. That’s why each of the segments had their own style. Despite how different […]
Superhero Week: Wolverine Snow White
It’s Superhero Week here on Geek Native as June turns over to July. As Max Fradet’s Borderlands’ Boba Fett was a hit it with readers it’s possible his mashup of the classic Snow White with the equally classic Wolverine might also appeal! Check out more of Max’s work over at Deviant Art. This is a […]

This week contains the 1st of July and that means it’s the return of Superhero Week here on Geek Native! You’d expect some cosplay on day one and you’d be right! Here we’ve some great mashup cosplay; a steampunk twist to Rogue and Phoenix. One question though; would you have been able to tell which […]
Short film: The Rush
A tribute to StarCraft from Freddie Wong and Rocket Jump. The name of the piece comes from “Zerg Rush”. Google it. The Rush is often an effective tactic in Starcraft and I suspect that’s true of how it’s deployed here as well. Rush over to this teleport link and swarm your way to a random […]
Incredible LEGO construct is an 8 foot 9 Tower of Orthanc
Wizard hats off to LEGO master Brendan M (aka LegoRyu) for this 95,000 block tower. You can see the full gallery here on Flickr and you really should take a look. Brendan spent a year building the 8 foot 9 inch Orthanc; that’s some 75,000 in the Orthanc itself and about 20,000 in the landscaping […]
