Star Wars: Light Side, Dark Side…Art Side

Roberto Peraza doesn’t choose between the dark side and the light side, instead choosing the art side. Here he takes familiar Star wars portraits and mixes basic polygon shapes with background landscape images. The results are pretty stunning.

I have never seen anything like this done with Star Wars portraits. Gotta say, I love it. Darth Vader is especially awesome. Hopefully the artist will add more since he says that this series is “To be continued…”

Roger Dean’s Strange Alien Landscapes

If you recognize Roger Dean’s amazing Sci-Fi landscapes, it is probably because you first saw them as album covers, for bands like Asia and Yes. I knew that would jog your memory. These exotic and vibrant illustrations are stories just waiting to be told. You see these landscapes and your imagination immediately takes over, populating them with aliens and making them live.

You might also think that Dean’s work looks a lot like the alien world from James Cameron’s Avatar. Well, Dean thought so too and in June of 2013 he filed a lawsuit in New York against James Cameron. He is seeking damages in excess of fifty million dollars. Whatever really happened there, Dean created his worlds first and he didn’t need 3D and millions of dollars to do it.

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.
