Adventure Time: The Women Of Ooo Are Sad

The land of Ooo is home to all kinds of amazing things. It has creatures that can kill you, creatures that are cute, stuff that will just give you poo brain and of course, all of the lovely Princesses. The ladies of Ooo are pretty special. Just ask the Ice King.

Well, Behance artist Haffi Chan has some awesome illustrations featuring some of Adventure Times leading ladies. These illustrations show Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, Lady Rainicorn and the Flame Princess in a new light. They are absolutely stunning. Lady Rainicorn is the best. Not sure why they are all so sad though.

Game Of Thrones Inspired Makeup

Most of the makeup that you see on Game of Thrones is all about making people look attractive on camera. However, this series of Game of Thrones makeup designs are all about using makeup to display the various house sigils. The makeup was applied by makeup artist Allison Chase and the photos shot by photographer Matt Barnes.

Makeup sales are sure to go way up in Westeros after this and pretty soon every woman will be wearing her house sigil on her face. This is some beautiful work on some lovely ladies.

Adventure Time: The Art of Ooo Book

Adventure Time: The Art of Ooo is an art book written and designed by artist Chris McDonnell that documents the creative process behind the television series Adventure Time. That process is completely fascinating to me. As fans know, it is so much more than a simple cartoon. It is so very layered with detailed and has a fairly epic scope.

The land of Ooo is simply amazing and wondrous. This hardcover book will take you deeper into the rabbit hole. It even features an introduction by Guillermo del Toro.

Lord Of The Rings Characters As Tarot Cards

DeviantArt user SceithAilm has illustrated a series of stunning tarot cards depicting different characters from the Lord of the Rings. Gandalf, Aragorn, Arwin, Sam, Pip, and Merry are all here, along with others, all on tarot cards that match their personalities.

I love the style. These are just gorgeous. These characters fit perfectly in a tarot card deck and they capture the spirit of the book perfectly. I think that the illustrator intends to continue adding more characters over time and I am looking forward to seeing all of them as they arrive.

Monsters And Machines Invade Famous Paintings

German artist and illustrator Oliver Wetter alters old landscapes. Specifically, he adds things like giant kaiju, robots and other pop culture elements. A giant monster is all you need to take a painting from tranquil to terrifying.

In Wetter’s work, danger looms large, ready to shatter the calm and idyllic peace. In most of these works we are seeing the last moment of calm before a horrible storm. In other’s, like AT-AT Among The Sierra Nevada for example, we seem to be seeing a calm aftermath. In this tranquil scene, an abandoned and rusty AT-AT stands gathering moss, the deer at it’s feet drinking carefree.
