Dino Pets; blurring the line between plants and animals

August 24, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

[Back this Campaign] This isn’t a Kickstarter you normally see on Geek Native. It’s art. It’s biology. It’s not a game, anyway, but it’s certainly geeky and I think it passes the test of “would a gamer be interested in this?” I can imagine a little dinosaur pet glowing away when the lights dim for […]

June 28, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What do you drink when you game? I’ve gone through drinking litres of fizz, to booze and now onto tea. I’m British, it’s natural.

This rather awesome creation is the work of the deviant artist Undead Geologist. The Geologist clearly has many talents and crafting fire breathing dragons is one of them.
