8 of the best: Marvel Civil War breaking out across the web

January 19, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The next Captain America film will be called Civil War. Now, comic book fans will know what happened in the Mark Millar series but that doesn’t mean the movie will go the same way. The internet has been having fun over the last few days with alternative suggestions as to why the row kicked off. […]

Sit back and enjoy every X-Man ever!

January 19, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A well written piece from Scott Collura and IGN takes us on a ten minute tour of the X-Men. Featured here is every X-Men member there’s ever been. At least; I can’t think of any that they’ve missed out – and you can use the comments below if you can think of one. I suppose […]

Impressive art takes paper Mordor under a glass dome

January 18, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This papercraft creation is the work of Jackie Huang. You can read about the work and how Lord of the Rings was an important inspiration at Jackie’s blog. Also, rather nicely, you can buy the piece from Gallery Nucleus too.

High fantasy steampunk: A review of Girl Genius – Agatha H and the Voice of the Castle

January 18, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Girl Genius – Agatha H and the Voice of the Castle is the third in the Girl Genius series by Phil and Kaja Foglio and at just about 600 pages long the fattest book yet. I really enjoyed the first two books. We still joke about minmoths here. I’m aware of the original Girl Genius […]

Mauri Helme’s 8-Bit Star Wars: The Force Awakens

January 18, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Mauri Helme is a Brazilian animator who’s turned his attention to remaking the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer; 8-bit style! You can follow Mauri on his blog or Twitter account @MauriHelme. Just think; only 11 more months until Star Wars re-awakens. In the meantime I’ll be watching sites like the Disney Store Star Wars […]

If the Zodiac were sinister occult monsters

January 18, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

Artist Damien Hellabrand enjoyed these fantastic Zodiac creations going super nova among the geek blogs this weekend. What a great collection and so much imagination on display. No wonder people are suggesting he’s channelling Guillermo Del Toro or the best of McFarlane. I’m reminded of old RPGs like Chill and Kult. You can see more […]

Rule 63 Bilbo Baggins

January 18, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 2 Comments

Look at those feet! This is cosplayer and deviant artist Aishafee and about 3 months worth of work. According to the artist the most challening aspect of the cosplay was Sting. It took months to find the right sort of sword. I’m impressed.

What would Disney meets DOTA look like?

January 18, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This is a clever series of illustrations from Igor Artyomenko. It’s well worth checking out the Kazakhstani’s Deviant Art page, especially the print store where you can buy his stuff. There’s something remarkable about Defense of the Ancients that lures artistic talent to it. In this case we see a mashup of Disney’s Frozen.

An Eye Tyrant’s day planner

January 17, 2015 by Andrew Girdwood 7 Comments

An Eye Tyrant is a fierce magical monster. Any given Eye Tyrant is hugely intelligent, intolerant of any other Eye Tyrant and a master of magic. Eye Tyrants are so powerful that strange magical effects are sometimes detected in the countryside around their lairs. Brave adventurers are sometimes tempted to raid these lairs and search […]
