Boba does Borderlands; R2 is Claptrap
This excellent mashup is the work of French artist Max Fradet. I think he captures all four characters wonderfully. You can tell at a glance you’ll looking at Boba Fett and R2-D2. You also know you’re looking into Borderlands and at Claptrap too. It’s well worth checking out his Deviant Art profile.
The Victorians that Weren’t
“The Victorians that Weren’t” is a guest post from Gail Z. Martin the co-author of Solaris Publishing’s forthcoming Iron and Blood steampunk adventure. How true do characters in alternative history–including Steampunk–need to remain to the beliefs, mores and biases of their time? It’s a thorny question, as our ancestors–hell, our parents–held beliefs about the world, […]

Okay, this particular Chain Chomp isn’t your traditional Mario enemy. This Chain Chomp is a custom made bed by Catastrophic Creations. Oh yes, Catastrophic […]
A Mostly Accurate Norse God Family Tree [infographic]
I rather like this infographic of norse mythology and gods from Korwin Briggs at the Veritable Hokum. You don’t often find family trees that feature magic cows and people with nine different mothers. (Via Geek Art Gallery)

Star Wars: The evolution of the stormtroopers [infographic]
When did you first encounter a stormtrooper? For me it was watching A New Hope, the first Star Wars film and episode IV. Other people – younger folk – might first have seen a stormtrooper on TV as part of the Clone Wars cartoon or perhaps even with one of the prequel movies. It’s only […]
Short film: Elegy
One girl in a battle against the elements. She clutches a strange coin as she approaches a mysterious door. It’s not clear until the last minute whether she’ll make it through and what the price might be for the attempt. Elegy is a film from SVAD Productions, a creative agency in Tennessee, and stars Rachel […]
