Check out these Sci-Fi faces done up in 80’s Style artwork. This set comes from Murcia, Spain-based artist StudioM6.
Featured are Darth Vader, The Terminator, Rocket Punch and Big daddy from Bioshock. These would look great as T-Shirts. I love these retro designs. I just wish this collection was larger so we could see more.
Etsy seller TheRetroInc wants you to decorate your home with images from a galaxy far, far away. These cool pillowcases come with just about any Star Wars character you could want on them, created with polygon art.
They will cost you about $34., but they look so cool that they are totally worth it. It’s a good way to geek up your home and add some Star Wars style. They would look great anywhere. On the bed, on your sofa or wherever you want. I would love to collect them all.
Boba Fett didn’t originally start out with that design we know and love from Empire and Jedi. The original designs show a bounty hunter that looks closer to a Stormtrooper. Boba Fett’s design evolved during the design phase and eventually became the Mandalorian we know.
You can see the evolution below. It was still cool looking, but less defined. Not as unique. It definitely lacked character and presence. I’m glad it kept evolving, because the instant I saw Fett on screen, I knew this guy was not to be messed with. THIS was a bounty hunter that inspired fear.

Here we are in 2015 so it is definitely a good time to take a look at the 2015 glimpsed in Back to the Future II. It could have been even weirder. Some vintage concept art from the production has surfaced and these pieces show many designs that didn’t make the cut.
Tim Flattery, a veteran concept artist who helped create this then-future world, talked with Newsweek about the experience.
They certainly came up with a lot of wacky ideas. Had they left all of this in it probably would have been overwhelming. But it is awesome to get to see this stuff.

This handy infographic will tell you everything you need to know about how to kill alien Xenomorphs. Remember, the Colonial Marines had a bunch of training. You? Not so much.
It details the guns you can use, weak spots and more. Study it. It just might save your life. This poster was designed by Ryan Brinkerhoff. We should all be prepared to face them.
This Alien-inspired motorcycle is beautifully designed, although I doubt very much that any future movies would call for the use of such a cool Alien bike. It was created by industrial designer Tamás Jakus. It is a customized black-on-black Yamaha SR with design cues inspired by H.R. Giger’s aliens.
I love all of the detail, which isn’t overdone. Everything is just perfect. The fuel tank is shaped like a Xenomorphs head and has a Weyland Corporation logo. Too bad it doesn’t exist in real life. Ripley could make good use of this sweet ride.

Neill Blomkamp working on an Alien movie? I like that idea. Can you even imagine what such a movie would look like? Well, just check out these images. The other day he posted some concept art from an Alien project that he was working on.
Apparently he was not working on this for the studio officially, but just for kicks. Now I just want to see this movie come to life. It would have been a wild ride, that’s for sure. Excuse me while I stare at these images for a few hours and dream of what could have been.

If you are a fan of the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, you can get this print by David Wildish from Society 6. It shows the Doctor’s favorite gadget in the order they were used in the show.
I think the main thing to learn from this cool print is that over time the sonic has become more complicated in design and if you go by the show, it also does more these days and is certainly used more often. Good old Peter Davison used it maybe once before his got fried, because he didn’t want his Doctor to overuse it.
What I find most interesting about artist Jeff Victor’s illustrated Evolution of Catwoman from movies and TV is that in the 2000’s she was wearing a lot less clothes. I never really noticed since I have tried hard to forget Halle Berry’s version of the classic character.
These illustrations are absolutely adorable though and give us a look at how Selina Kyle has changed over the years. It’s not nearly as drastic as some other heroes. For the most part they haven’t changed her all that much.
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.
