This Batmobile Concept Design Is A Winner

This Batmobile Concept Design Is A Winner
Wow. Just wow. We’ve seen many Batmobiles over the years, and each are special in their own way, but this Batmobile concept design is simply stunning. The front even looks like a bat face. This batmobile is sleek and low to the ground. Clearly made for speed, yet I’m sure it still has plenty of room for gadgets. And how about those brake lights? I’d love to see this one on film. It was created by Encho Enchev, a senior 3D artist and designer at Ubisoft. I really really wish I get a toy version of this car. It is quite a departure from current gen Batmobiles on film.

Ikea Style Star Wars Lamps

Ikea Style Star Wars Lamps
If Ikea sold Star wars inspired lighting, these are the amazing lamps that we could buy. They have a fantastic minimal design and are striking in the home. They all have that unmistakable Scandinavian style and are presented as pages in a Swedish catalog. The names are reminders of the origin of that particular lamp.

“Maul” is probably my favorite. As usual, I just wish I could buy these for real. Still, it’s nice to see what they are buying in alternate realitys. They come from the mind of Eyal Rosenthal.

Doctor Who: Interesting Alternative Cyberman Designs

Doctor Who Interesting Alternative Cyberman Designs
The Cybermen in New Who are okay, but I think their design is a bit boring. I much prefer the old Earthshock Cybermen from Peter Davison’s era. I’m still hoping that one day the modern Cybermen will get a decent makeover. Hopefully something like these designs that I recently came across.

The first design is a bit plain much like modern Cybermen, but I really like the extra black details, as if the human parts beneath are in some kind of wet suit. If you combine that with the darker design below, I think you have a winner. Something that will have kids hiding under their beds when a Cyberman episode comes on. Those eyes!

Glamorous Gamora Hair

gamora hair
I’ve seen a lot of women with beautiful hair, but I have to say this Gamora inspired hair is really lovely. I’m not sure you can just walk into a salon and say, “Give me the Gamora!”, but however you ladies do it, I’d like to see more of this. At least you know that Samantha Richards will do it for you. She is a geek who does beautiful work.

Awesome Doctor Who Beer Labels

Awesome Doctor Who Beer Labels
Dean Balangcod shared this project where he created a themed beer label for Beau’s beer. I could definitely get behind a Doctor Who branded beer. These designs are pretty awesome and include a case that looks like the TARDIS with a cutaway so you can see the labels on the beer within.

There are also glasses with the label, but those only show a tractor. The other labels are much cooler and show Zygons, Weeping Angels, a Dalek and a Cyberman. I would love to see some beer with these labels on it.

Concept Art For Rejected Power Rangers Film Actually Looks Awesome

Concept Art For Rejected Power Rangers Film Actually Looks Awesome
Power Rangers fans should already know that Lionsgate has been developing a new Power Rangers movie with Saban Entertainment. It will be directed by Dean Israelite. One of the other directors who didn’t get the green light worked with conceptual artists Alex Ruiz and Gregory Semkow. This is some of what they came up with. It is unique and not at all what you might expect. These images are phenomenal. There are images of The Control Room, Alpha, T-Rex Zord, Zordon, and Rita Repulsa.

Ruiz says:

“This is some concept art I made for a director who was pitching his film version of Power Rangers. If you guys remember someone made an amazing PR fan film this year, which lit the fire under many asses to get a full on Hollywood film made. So, many a director jumped at the opportunity. Unfortunately our guy didn’t get it, it went to another director. Such is the nature of the film business.”

How much do you want to bet that the movie we get is not nearly as cool as this concept art. Sad, but it will probably be true.

James Gunn Shows Off Early Star-Lord Helmet Design for Guardians Of The Galaxy

James Gunn Shows Off Early Star-Lord Helmet Design for Guardians Of The Galaxy
Director James Gunn recently shared a behind-the-scenes photo from Guardians of the Galaxy that shows a very early design for Star-Lord’s helmet. This is what he had to say:

“#fbf Very early version of the Star-Lord mask. I wanted the eyes to be big, as if he was perpetually surprised, not your regular hero. We might have overdone it a bit here. #GotG#flashbackfriday”

It’s always fun to see the evolution of things like this. Below is a piece of concept art that this helmet design was based on. It’s not bad, but I’m glad they made all of the minor improvements that they did. The final version really works well.

This Diamond Studded Gold BB-8 Is Worth $135,000

This Diamond Studded Gold BB-8 Is Worth $135,000
I guess we know what the BB stands for in BB-8. It must mean Bling Bling. That is one shiny droid. Definitely the one I’m looking for. No Jedi mind trick can sway me. However, the price certainly puts a damper on my enthusiasm. Disney Consumer Products and Kay Jewelers have teamed up to create a stunning new interpretation of the new droid in gold and diamonds.

It took 600 hours to create and it has been valued at $135,000. This luxury version of the droid is just 4.25″ high and weighs just over 1.5 lbs. Made from 18-carat yellow gold, this piece has around 860 diamonds which amounts to 18 carats. This little and expensive droid will be displayed at the Force 4 Fashion exhibit in New York and auctioned off for charity later this month. Even R2-D2 wasn’t this valuable when he had the Death Star plans.
