Short film: C

April 28, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

C is a brave short sci-fi film. This is the story of Lieutenant Commander Malleck and her mutiny during an interplanetary cold war.

The cyborg’s skull

April 19, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This remarkable cyborg skull was created by American based Darko DarkSyde Designs. The deviant art collection isn’t always safe to browse from work and it is easy to imagine non-gamers getting a little freaked out over this skull. Me? I think it belongs on a shelf in the corner of the room.
