Tie-X is Jason Battersby’s personal TIE Fighter design project. It took 4 months to create. His goal was to design a ship that fits into the Star Wars galaxy while also having his own design influences. I say job well done. This ship looks stunning. You can see many shots of it in action, chasing the Millennium Falcon, in the docking bay and on patrol. The design is just perfect.
I think we would all love to see this movie. Terminator vs Predator would be amazing. Artist Peter Designificance created this cool poster and you know that is exactly the poster they would do for this movie if it were real. Who would win though? They might just kill each other, which would be great for us other species.
Andreas Bazylewski used two separate photos to create this awesome Centurion Stormtrooper. One was of a Clone Trooper body, the other of the Roman Stormtrooper helmet. He put the images together and then into an old Roman painting. The end result is this cool Centurion Stormtrooper, which is going to make sense one day when the Empire figures out time travel.
These amazing portraits from Young Rascal are really something. They depict the Star Trek crew in classic Navy uniforms as well as on old ships. As someone who really enjoys the Horatio Hornblower stories and Star Trek, they really hit the sweet spot for me. These digital paintings really capture the crew in an entirely different era. Their jobs are pretty much the same, minus aliens and new planets. Keep the ship safe while you adventure on the high seas.
Travis Durden’s aim with these images is to illustrate that ‘the natural life cycle of myths and idols involves their destruction’. Every hero has a downfall. So the french artist created these digital compositions that show the eventual demise of Batman, in collaboration with several other photographers whose images document abandoned buildings around the world. Durden adds elements from Batman’s life into each frame.
It puts Batman in a post apocalyptic world where he is the guardian of essentially nothing. These images are haunting, sad and eerie. You thought he was brooding before! These images make me uneasy. Batman needs a thriving city around him.

If you have ever wondered what the Star wars characters do while on vacation, wonder no more. It’s all right here. These are the work of Kyle’s Gallery and they are certainly whimsical. They sure know how to live it up and relax during their downtime.
I never took Boba for a knitting kind of guy. And it’s nice to see C-3PO stopping to smell the roses and Vader having some tea too. You can buy prints from Kyle’s Etsy Shop.
This news is what many fans have been waiting for. A few days ago, Lucasfilm announced that they will be releasing the entire Star Wars saga on digital HD with some brand new bonus features. These special features focus on interviews with people involved with the making of the movies and the more typical behind-the-scenes features.
Here are two new clips. A conversation with set decorator Roger Christian and effects technician (now director) Joe Johnston about the making of the Millennium Falcon. Then we have one focusing on the color of Han’s Hoth jacket. I had no idea there was even a controversy regarding the color of his jacket. I think they might be having a bit of fun with that one.
In recent years the Enterprise has gone digital, but the original version of Star Trek’s flagship was a real-life miniature model. So, what happens when you replace the digital Enterprise of New Trek with the older model?
Illustrator and concept artist Nick Acosta shows us. He took some photos of the original model which is currently being restored at the Smithsonian and composited those images into newer film shots. The results are nothing short of amazing. It just goes to show you that physical props are more realistic. If it is lit correctly, it beats digital every time.
Etsy seller J. Salvador is a pop kawaii artist. He likes making characters over to be emo. In his shop you will find all kinds of cool stuff, but these Super Emo Star Wars prints are what catches the eye. These are fun and silly and cute, showing all of our favorite characters acting way too emo.
Boba Fett is sad because he was just doing his job. C-3PO asks “Is he my father too?” Poor Greedo laments the fact that his gun wasn’t even loaded. These prints may be sad, but they will make you smile.
Fighting crime is tough work. You might as well smell your best while you are cleaning up the streets or battling mutant monsters from another dimension. This series of conceptual superhero ‘serum’ cologne bottles was created by Charlotte, North Carolina based digital design firm Animink. They look amazing.
These renders are stylish and timeless, much like the comic book heroes that they represent. I’m sure that the scents would also be timeless, if they actually existed. I’m not sure that I want to smell Hulk Rage though. I can only imagine how bad a raging Hulk must smell. I’ll pass on that one.
