Visual effects artist Doug Drexler recently uploaded this cool demo reel from BSG: Blood and Chrome, showing off the before and after of the CG ship interiors. What strikes me most is just how little the actors had to work with on set. Most of the shots shown here are almost entirely green screen with very few real world objects. It all came together impressively in the end.
Gaius Baltar would love this Cylon Centurion ring from PaulMichaelDesign. These awesome rings are available in Sterillium sterling silver, 14K white gold, palladium and platinum. You can even get an 18K yellow gold command centurion. Each has a natural diamond cut ruby for the eye.
This is one frakkin’ beautiful ring!
This Custom Built Light Up Battlestar Galactica is frakkin’ awesome. It was created by OtherWorldModels and is a custom built and painted new-series Moebius Models Battlestar Galactica model kit. However, he put in some amazing upgrades.
Like full hull plating decals, detailed and lit hanger bays, other photo-etched detail pieces, and upgraded guns. Because Galactica needs her guns. I love how those engines glow. You would be proud to have this ship on your desk.
Megan Lara’s series Ladies of Battlestar Galactica (For Quantum Mechanix) shows the women from the show in the style of various classic works of art. For instance Starbuck is drawn in the style of Polish Art Deco painter Tamara de Lempicka. Sharon “Athena” Agathon is in the Art Nouveau style of Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt.
They all look amazing and dare I say it? It paints them all in a new light. It is the perfect combination of geeky and classy.
We’ve seen remastered versions of Star Trek, Star Wars(Thanks George, but it wasn’t necessary.) and other vintage sci-fi properties, but what about Battlestar Galactica? Have you ever wondered what the original Batttlestar Galactica series would look like if it was remastered and re-released? It would look a lot like this.
This amazing reel of a restored and remastered original BSG was created by Adam “Mojo” Lebowitz. This video is a demo to get us all excited about how frakkin’ awesome it looks. I fully support this as long as we also get a remastered Babylon 5 too.
