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.
Illustrator and cartoonist Ed Harrington has a great sense of humor. He created a funny and clever collection of IKEA assembly instructions that don’t make cabinets, but instead tell you how to make classic movie monsters like a Xenomorph from the Alien movies, Pinhead from Hellraiser and more.
You can find more on his Harrington’s Tumblr blog. Awesome stuff.
This is a fun series of fan art that features several sci-fi and horror movie characters re-imagined as manga characters. These iconic characters are all cute and adorable, but can still lay the smack down if they need to. These fine illustrations were done by Matsuda Yuusuke.
I would love to see a cartoon series based on these. Especially the Robocop one. Also featured are Terminator, Alien, Predator, Pinhead, and Hellboy. On a side note, I don’t think I have ever seen the Terminator portrayed with boobs before.
DugMcUglyArt made these super cool matchbook paintings with some of our favorite geek pop culture characters. Below are just some of his miniature masterpieces. The art is fantastic, but the artist also manages to inject some humor into these paintings.
One of my favorites is “The Hound” with the matches appropriately burned. Another is Jack Nicholson’s joker from Tim Burton’s Batman movie. I would love to display all of these together. Awesome work.

These are some really nice behind the scenes photos that show off different alien makeup designs created for Guardians of the Galaxy. You have to love the retro look and feel of this movie and admire all of the practical effects that were used to pull it off. These designs have so much detail!
Dave White, the special effects makeup designer helped to create the designs for Gamora, Drax, Nebula, Yondu, Korath, and other aliens. They are all done practically and are free from modern alien design influences. The end results in the film were simply amazing. You’ll find more at the link.

People love the men in Black movies because of the amazing creature design. The aliens that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones encounter are truly out of this world and are truly alien. Remember the little alien creature that lived inside the head of Ambassador Rosenberg? Well, look at the amazing replica that the sculptors at Elite Creature Collectibles are working on.
To say that this is super detailed is the understatement of the year. It really is a breathtaking replica that is a work of art. The prototype sculpt was shown off at this year’s SDCC, but Elite Creature has not set a release date yet. Or a price. I’ll be saving my pennies and waiting eagerly.

We can thank Imgur member Valaquen for these lovely behind-the-scenes photos from Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi/horror film Alien. Valaquen recently uploaded over 253 images, with more to come. These images provide an interesting look at the making of the classic film.
We’ve got rare concept art, newspaper/magazine clippings, vehicle models, cast and crew pics, pics of H.R. Giger himself, costume designs and so much more. You can easily lose yourself for hours looking through all of them. Trust me, I’ve done it. These images make me appreciate the movie on a whole other level. I can only imagine what a thrill it was to work on this movie and help put it all together. To walk in these alien sets. Just amazing.
If you haven’t seen Edge of Tomorrow, what are you waiting for? The concept art is every bit as good as the movie. We know this because concept artist Kevin Jenkins just released a whole mess of Edge of Tomorrow concept art.
It shows off the many ways that the mimics could have looked, gives us a bunch of platoon shots, mech suits and more. These images will give you a whole new appreciation of the movie. You can check out more on Kevin’s website.
