Tim Burton Style Avengers

Tim Burton gave us such classics as Edward Scissorhands, the 1989 Batman movie, Beetlejuice and many more, but have you ever wondered what he could have done with The Avengers? These sketches from artist Xenia Rassolova give us a pretty good idea. They all look spot on if you ask me. That’s totally Tim Burton style.

As much as I like some of Burton’s classic movies, I’m glad he didn’t touch The Avengers. This is still a cool concept though. It’s always nice to see a new take on familiar characters that we know.

VFX For Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes featured some amazing visual effects. Those monkeys were so realistic it was scary. But that doesn’t happen by magic. There are scores of talented people behind the scenes making it a reality.

Weta Digital has created this amazing behind-the-scenes featurette that highlights all of the CGI work that went into making it feel so natural and real. Andy Serkis is a big factor in why this worked so well too. When you have great CGI with such great acting, you have something really special.

Marvel And DC Comics Characters Mashed Together

Artist Eric Guzman did a fantastic job with this series. What would happen if you merged the characters from DC Comics and Marvel together? Well, what you get is a new universe filled with brand new yet familiar characters like The Joking Goblin, Deadshot the Hunter, Darewing, MysteRiddle, Banenom, Dr. Octofreeze, Poison Scorpion, Captain Krypton, and The Scavenger. I am really digging these new characters.

It’s too bad this could never happen in the pages of either company’s comic books. I would love to see more.

Doctor Who Female Sixth Doctor Costume

If you want to cosplay as the 6th Doctor as a female, or just dress up as him as a her this Halloween, I have the perfect costume for you. This beautifully made 6th Doctor Costume has been perfectly created for her rather than him. It comes from Etsy seller Frockasaurus. I think any lady is going to look wonderful in this costume.

It’s a pretty stunning recreation when you think about how detailed Colin Bakers patchwork coat was. Right down to the cat brooch.

Poison Ivy Mad Scientist Cosplay

This fantastic series of photos shows us Poison Ivy as we have never seen her before. The talented and beautiful Rei-Doll is Poison Ivy. The photographer is Soldatov Vladimir. I’m not sure which I love more, the photography and decor or Rei-Doll.

She’s an organic mad scientist among a background of cogs and machines. There’s something about that juxtaposition that I really love. I am surprised that the plants have not completely choked all of those clockwork parts. This is a nice look at Ivy at work in her chemistry lab.

The Muppets As Comic Book Characters

These images should please Muppet fans and Superhero fans alike. This fun art series features several of our favorite Muppet characters as comic book superheroes and villains. These drawings were done by Roger Langridge and they are sure to make you smile.

I never thought I would see a Silver Swedish Surfer Chef. Or a Bizarro Beaker. Now if only we could make this a reality, it would be a hilarious movie. It would probably make a ton of money too. Someone get on that.

Adorable Fionna & Cake Cosplay

Around here we love Adventure Time and this Fionna and Cake cosplay from Larina is both adorable and creative. Even mathematical! Larina looks super cute posing with that Cake plush toy. She really captured the adventuring spirit of the show and the character.

When you combine her obvious love of the show with quality photography from EleventhPhotograph, M1Photo and Santrizos Photography, you have a winning combination.
