The Great Sandworm Race: We Have Wormsign

Now here is an epic mash-up that you don’t see everyday. Artist and illustrator Stephen Andrade painted this awesome masterpiece showing the giant worms from Tremors, Beetlejuice and Dune all taking part in The Great Sandworm Race. My money is on the Dune worm. It will just eat the rest of them. It is a worm eat worm world my friends.

And if that isn’t amazing enough, there’s more. He also created a digital version that looks like a vintage pulp book cover, making me wish I could read that issue. All hail Shai-Hulud.

A Collection Of Famous Robot Heads

Daniel Nyari put together these awesome illustrations of famous robot heads. How many can you identify? If you are on this site and reading, I am expecting some good scores. You should be able to identity at least 90% of these if you are a true Sci-Fi geek.

Even the Woody Allen robot from Sleeper makes an appearance. If robots really are taking over the world(And we know that they are), we could use more illustrations like this to keep them identified. These heads look great. I would love to see the rest of the robots done in the same style.

Polygon Art: Superhero Cars And Other Famous Vehicles

As cool as most Superheroes are, sometimes their vehicles come off as one-dimensional. That isn’t the case with Josh Ln’s polygonal art. Josh has created famous polygonal cars (and other vehicles) that look absolutely out of this world.

Any Superhero would be proud to drive one of his creations. Here we see the Batmobile, the Turtle Van, even the Millennium Falcon and Back To The Future’s DeLorean, all created out of polygons. The end result are amazing rides that equal more than the sum of their parts.
