Mike Seymour of FX Guide and Wired takes a look at the special effects used in director Justin Lin‘s Star Trek Beyond. He covers everything from the digital construction of the Starship Enterprise, to the extraterrestrials themselves. This movie had some amazing effects, so this is a fun watch. They certainly put a lot of work into this one.
C-3PO may not be as sexy as Maria, but he totally works in this parody art based on Fritz Lang’s Metropolis poster. Maybe this was a George “Fritz” Lucas production. It is fittingly called Droidopolis.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Troopers. Troopers in a half shell! These are the mutant troopers of the First Order. This fun art that combines Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Star Wars is from Isiah Pintac. Splinter, Snoke? What’s the difference? These troopers just want to chill in the sewers and eat pizza.
If you are a fan of the original Terminator movies, you’ll love what Sideshow has done with this Terminator Endoskeleton Maquette. This highly detailed recreation of the T-800 features polystone and premium grade ABS plastic elements to get those amazing details that you would expect to find in a machine created by other machines. This maquette is made up of over 100 pieces and even comes with a nameplate for more display options. You look at this T-800 and you can practically hear the theme music.
If you have been spending all of your time playing Pokemon Go, I bet you never saw any Pokemon that look like this. If you do see a gang of Pokemon like this, you better just run. This fun Pokemon Suicide Squad art takes your favorite pocket monsters and turns them into Suicide Squad characters. This series made me laugh out loud. I think they chose exactly the right Pokemon to represent each DC character.
Wonder Woman is making a huge comeback, thanks in part to the new movie. It is also her 75th anniversary, which is why the U.S. Postal Service is celebrating with a set of good looking commemorative stamps. If you still use snail mail, you’ll want to send a letter with one of these stamps attached. These stamps debuted at Comic Con in San Diego over the weekend. There are four different images of Wonder Woman from her Gold Age, Silver Age, Bronze Age and Modern.
Now this is a campaign I can get behind. Let’s make America apes again. As in Planet of the Apes. This fun Trump/Planet of the Apes mashup is from Hal Hefner. We’ve covered his work in the past. This one is another classic.
This fun fan-made poster is an edgy take on Batman vs. Superman where the two are morphed together. I love the intensity.
Inspired by the movie Batman vs. Superman, I decided to create a poster that says:There is no winner or loser. There are two heroes, who fight for justice. And they must unite their powers against villains.
This fun cosplay from Dario Estelrich proves that you are never too old to cosplay. This is Granny Harley Quinn Cosplay. I assume that it is Dario’s grandmother. She rocks that outfit like a pro and obviously loves a good cup of tea.
The new Star Trek series now has a name. Star Trek: Discovery. That is also the name of the ship. Designation NCC-1031. I love that it is based on concept art that the legendary Ralph McQuarrie did for the first Trek motion picture. I’m not sure how I feel about this design yet though. Kinda love it, kinda hate it. The back section is reminiscent of an old Klingon ship. I like parts of the design. Like the red bits in front of the nacelles. The saucer is okay. The rest is… I just can’t see how they justify that this design would fit into Star Trek. The more I see it, the more I realize that that back end is pretty awful. Maybe it’s not the final design. Right? Maybe it’s a Klingon/Federation crew? It’s the only way this makes sense. I can get behind this, but it has to make sense.
