I’ll admit to having a lot of love for Billy Joel’s Piano Man. That’s the easy part. What about Gregor Clegane fro a Song of Ice and Fire? Yup; we’re talking about Game of Thrones’ The Mountain. Not so much love. This tribute mashup from Grombar Smash tells the story of the Bannerman. If you […]
Lady Tron as a Grim Reaper
This illustration by Russian artist Nikonov Aleksandr is striking. It’s a three-way mashup; with Tron, the grim reaper and a gender change thrown in there for good measure.
David Peterson’s Muppet fairy tales
David Peterson is the artist behind the highly acclaimed Mouse Guard comic book series and Mouse Guard RPG. An old Buzzfeed post from 2012 also show he has a far wider talent for the whimsical and is capable of some clever mashups. I think Miss Piggy makes an excellent Maleficent. My favourite might well be […]
Phanto of the Mushroom Kingdom
There’s a lot of geek cred in Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera and I don’t mind admitting that I like Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical version. I’m clearly not the only geek who feels this way as Random Encounters have been inspired. After Princess Peach manages to musically destroy much of the Mushroom Kingdom […]
Pikachu chooses Space Marine armour
This is some curveball cosplay from Australian Supanova Pop Culture Expo. We’ve Pikachu, the zappy Pokemon, as an inspiration for what looks like Warhammer 40K Space Marine armour. No wonder she’s won so many badges.
Three clever Mass Effect / Star Wars mashups
Created by Zarnala, an Vietnamese speaking American artist, is this set of three mashups. We’ve Mass Effect races blended with Star Wars roles. Kinda. The Stormtrooper is decked out in N7 branded armour, the Asari has gone Sith and the Salarian Jedi.
Steampunk Snow White
Not the usual mashup, I think, despite both steampunk and Disney princesses being popular choices. The cosplayer is Marta / Enjoy This and she’s wearing a design based on NoFlutter’s design for the Steampunk Fairy Tale Group Art project. The photographer is Alexander Nikolis.
The Game of Thrones medley
It’s a mashup of some recent pop songs and Game of Thrones. Very little in the way of spoilers and enough costume to engage your cosplay circuits. The video is the work of The Warp Zone, released just a few days ago is going viral as it approaches half a million views.
If Disney characters had to survive the Walking Dead
This mashup is the work of French artist Kasami Sensei. His work takes familiar Disney characters and drops them into a world of zombie. This is a blend of The Walking Dead and a host of Disney designs. Which is your favourite?
Cosplay: A Happy Parody
This is good. Even this geek has heard Pharrell Williams’ Happy. This a parody sung by Charmie Sweets and I think she does really well. On top of that we’ve a whole bunch of cosplayers having fun in front of the camera and dancing along for us.
