Did you watch Guardians of the Galaxy again over Christmas? JK Denim from Koalipops walks us through the Groot cupcake process. The good news is that there are plenty of shortcuts. Buy the cupcakes, for a start. Groot’s one of those characters who can smash ten baddies at a time and then give a flower […]

Citadel of Flame Heavy Armour cosplay for charity

Poster: Death and Life-in-Death
This poster is a collaboration between Brian Luong and Twin Serpents that pays tribute to Gustave Doré. The design is a visit to a cursed mariner and a whole crew of sailors who are being guided by an albatross. The foolish mariner kills the albatross and so Death and Life-in-Death visit the ship and gamble […]
Geeky shoes – Last Laugh
For sale over at Teefury’s ShoeFury. Designed by Arson these are Joker-inspired shoes. That familiar, evil, clown face presented in the Batman symbol. The Canadian born artist and illustrator has a number of designs available on TeeFury which you can check out here. The t-shirt version of this design is in the system but (currently) […]
Marvel actually did this: Ant-sized trailer for Ant-Man
I don’t really know what to make of this teaser trailer. Does it tell us anything about the film? Not really. Effectively, this is a marketing push to announce that the Ant-Man trailer is coming on the 6th of January. It also does a pretty good job of reminding us that Marvel’s Agent Carter is […]

Short film: Musical Recordings From the Realm of the Dead
This clever animation from Troy Morgan shows how four individuals accidentally become collaborators in a musical composition that seems to be coming from the realm of the dead. This mix of animation and stop motion is wonderfully effective. It’s hard not to watch this and not think of Call of Cthulhu or Trail of Cthulhu […]

Dark Elf cosplay
This stunning cosplay makeup was put together by Reddit user /u/nickeilgenesis. She used Mehron’s Paradise Makeup AQ palette, mixing black and white together to get dark grey, but notes that face paint from almost any Halloween store might work. Cosplay seems to go from strength to strength. Sites like EZcosplay now have more than half […]
Short film: Renegade
Holy cow. I bet you didn’t expect to watch a short film like this. This is a short film and a great example of brevity. We start off with, um, there’s Dr. Monocole and some cultists leading some slaves through the wild with the help of some quads. There’s romance and one of the slaves […]
