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.

Magnificent Mandalorian Cosplay

Kimette and Jef do a great job cosplaying as a magnificent Mandalorian duo. I wouldn’t want to run into this pair in a dark alley somewhere on the edge of the Empire with no back up. I can see these two having their own show, where they get into trouble every week.

Love that armor! And that ponytail protruding from the helmet too. The photographer really created an amazing atmosphere too. Love it!

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.

Star Wars Imperial Propaganda Posters

The Empire wants you to join the fight and crush the rebel resistance. So naturally they are using propaganda to recruit new soldiers. These posters come from the beautiful Star Wars: Imperial Handbook Deluxe Edition, which is on sale now.

Here’s the official description:

The Empire has taken hold of the galaxy. Soon, with the completion of the Death Star, its control will be absolute. In preparation for this Imperial expansion, high-ranking officials from each branch of the Imperial military have set down tactical guidelines and procedures as well as collected mission reports and classified documents for all newly ascending commanders. In the wake of the Battle of Endor, members of the Rebel Alliance intercepted this top-secret instructional manual and have circulated it among their own commanders, who have added notes and commentary in the margins.

Charming Doctor Who GIFs

These charming and whimsical Doctor Who GIFs from all 12 Doctors(Sorry once again War Doctor, but you have been left out) come from Beijing, China based artist Mengying Wang.

They are simple and adorable. Scrolling through them all is almost like seeing these versions have mini existences and watching them regenerate one after the other. On a side note, please give love to the War Doctor people! He is every bit as important as the others.

Sci-Fi And Horror Movie Icons Re-imagined As Manga Characters

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.
