Have you watched a speed draw on YouTube yet? I find them mesmerising and a reminder of how little (read: none) artistic skill I have. I love to watch them, though, whether we’re watching a Photoshop pro user speed through the controls to bring a hero to life or someone with inks in their hands […]

Superhero Week: Superhero cospaint!
Cosplay is going strong… and cospaint is picking up interest. One of the things cospaint has going for it is that it makes for dramatic YouTube montages and long running Twitch streams. The queen of superhero cospaint is Kay Pike. We’ve featured her work on Geek Native before but since it’s Superhero Week let’s share […]
What if superheroes had part time jobs?
Artist Chow Hon Lam has a great series of illustrations exploring funny part time jobs for superheroes and geek culture figures. There’s a sample below and you can see the rest over at the official collection. I also recommend checking out the store at Flying Mouse 365 where you can pick up many of these […]

His series Heroic Words of Wisdom is designed to try and bring some of iconic superhero dialogue out from the pages of comic books and to a wider audience. In my mind, one of the most famous pieces of comics dialogue is the oath sworn […]
Superhero Week: Mike Mahle’s Justice League Series

The images below are part of his Justice League series. He manages to make them look far more interesting than some of the official covers […]
Superhero Week: Behind the scenes at The Flash pilot episode
This is almost painful to post. I’m still waiting for Arrow season 2 to appear on Amazon Instant Video or Netflix in the UK. It’s Arrow which introduces Flash. Meanwhile, there’s no news as to whether The CW has signed a license deal to take The Flash to the UK. That’s painful because this featurette […]
A quick five minutes: The Flash extended trailer
I had mixed feelings about Don’t Blink the Flash teaser with Arrow in it. This five minute show promo from CW does a much better job of winning me around. I think we can see a little bit more of Barry Allen’s personality, there’s at least some token science behind the weird costume and it’s […]
Short film: Girl of Steel
A fan from from Vincent Tran based on DC’s Supergirl. A rebellious teenager has a tough choice to make; deal with a dangerous alien colonization threat or stay the heck out of shady government business.
