Star Wars Characters On Earth

Star Wars took place a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, but what if it took place in the here and now? Photographer Thomas Dagg shows us in these fun black and white photographs. These images have superimposed AT-ATs, the Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighters, and Star Wars characters in everyday settings. You’ll have to look closely at some of them to find the bit of Star Wars within. Like spotting Han Solo’s carbonite block by the trash.

Others are more obvious, like Jar Jar Binks laying in a dark alley. Someone finally got to him. These images are a fun look at what might have been if two worlds had collided. Hit the link above to see more at his website.

Classic Comic Book Covers, Recreated In LEGO

Recently in Los Angeles, Designer Con hosted a group of Lego builders who recreated classic comic book covers as 3D lego displays. These covers rock! Or should I say brick? I should, because the series is called Comic Bricks.

It is fascinating to see these comic book covers come to life in a new medium. It literally makes the scenes come to life and ups the action. It’s also fun to see which pieces the creators used to reproduce various effects. This might be my new favorite LEGO art form.

Bat Time: Adventure Time Cast Turned Into 3D Batman Characters

Behance artist Volatile Vertex created these amazing 3D Adventure Time characters dressed up like Batman characters. I hope he is still working on more, because I want to see what else this digital artist comes up with. These are all fantastic, but Gunter as the Penguin is just priceless. I love all of the little details, like BMO as Alfred presenting a joystick on a tray. Or how Bubblegum Bat Princess is standing on a piece of peppermint.

I would totally buy these if they were toys. It’s Bat Time!

Fantastic Fur: Marvel Characters As Cats

October 29th was National Cat Day, but if you own cats then everyday is cat day and you already know how awesome they are. Cat day was founded in 2005 by Colleen Paige to raise awareness about animal adoption and to help raise money for groups like the ASPCA. It is a noble way to help our furry friends.

This year Marvel Comics is getting into the Cat Day action by sharing some kitty superhero art created by Jenny Parks. Your favorite Marvel heros have been cat-napped and replaced with felines.

Concept Art For Paramount London’s Star Trek Attraction

Paramount is working on several attractions around the world, and many will include Star Trek elements. Paramount London is in a consultation phase right now before work starts in full force, with a target of a 2020 opening. We have some intriguing new concept art for the park, including a Star Trek themed Starfleet Command zone that looks pretty stunning.

The Starfleet Command zone will be joined by Adventure Isle, Land of Legends, Cartoon Circus, Action Square, Port Paramount, and Entertainment City. Obviously the best attraction will be the Starfleet Command Zone and the concept art for it certainly looks bold.

Marvel Teletubbies

Grab some Tubby custard and sit back and enjoy these Marvel Superheroes. In Teletubby form. Captain Winky, Hulksy, Lalarine, and Spiderpo are ready for action. These fun mash-ups come from John Paolo Santos, an artist in Malolos, the Philippines.

These four heroes may just be a new team of Teletubby Avengers. And even though their costumes are instantly recognizable, I bet you still can’t figure out what the heck they are saying. I picture them rubbing their tummies before battle and then dragging the bodies of their foes back to their Tubby-lair. I bet that’s how the custard is made.

Adventure Time: The Art of Ooo Book

Adventure Time: The Art of Ooo is an art book written and designed by artist Chris McDonnell that documents the creative process behind the television series Adventure Time. That process is completely fascinating to me. As fans know, it is so much more than a simple cartoon. It is so very layered with detailed and has a fairly epic scope.

The land of Ooo is simply amazing and wondrous. This hardcover book will take you deeper into the rabbit hole. It even features an introduction by Guillermo del Toro.

Iron Man Gets Mashed Up With Other Iconic Characters

Can’t get enough of Iron Man? Are you so crazy about him that you want to see him merged with Superman, using his heat vision? What about Iron Man as the Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader? Melbourne-based graphic designer Kode Logic has created a series of illustrations called “Iron MaSH!” that shows Iron Man mashed-up with other iconic heroes and villains. The results are spectacular.

It’s as if we are watching Iron Man assimilate other characters with some Borg-like technology so that he can be the ultimate weapon.

Famous Chunkies

Alex Solis’ Famous Chunkies series is a good reminder to eat healthy. It shows what some of our favorite superheroes, sci-fi characters and other icons would look like if they were obese over-eaters.

Being rotund and craving cheeseburgers, these guys and gals are not having any adventures, unless you consider diabetes to be an epic adventure. Great work Alex. It’s a good reminder to us all to take care of ourselves.

Star Trek Into Darkness Red Planet , Spacesuits And Klingon Concept Art

Check out these pieces of concept art from Star Trek Into Darkness. The first few are of the red planet in the Nibiru system from concept artist Andrea Dopaso, which are simply stunning and look much better than what we saw on screen. The rest are production sketches from concept artists Keith Christensen, Constantine Sekeris and Neville Page.

The Klingon suit designs are especially interesting and there’s a concept design of the Klingon planet and some different versions of the Starfleet space suits.
