Alien Queen Cosplay

Alien Queen Cosplay
This Alien Queen Cosplay based on the alien queen from Aliens 2 is more beautiful than terrifying. It was created by animation director Ashley J. Long. That headpiece is made from 50 to 60 pieces of cardstock that were hand arranged and glued together over two months. Now that is dedication to your craft. No wonder it looks so perfect. The jewels are a nice creepy touch. The headpiece sits on a bike helmet, which is the key to making it wearable and keeping it in place. It’s a great design.

The egg is paper mache and the spine is aluminum. I’ve never seen a more stylish and elegant alien queen. Still deadly, but quite lovely. You can make one yourself. For more info check it out on Instructables.

Incredible Ghostbusters Concept Art

Incredible Ghostbusters Concept Art
The designs and cool creatures that you see in Ghostbusters had to start somewhere. We have the amazing concept art of Henry Mayo to thank, as well as Thom Enriquez, John Deveikis and others. You can check it all out in Ghostbusters: The Ultimate Visual History. We’ve mentioned the book before, but check out some of the images here.

Witness some of the drawings that led to the creation of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and Slimer. I’m always fascinated with how these things evolve. It’s interesting to see the creative process. I almost wish we had gotten a more evil looking Stay Puft Marshmallow Man after seeing this.

Cool Alternative Art Poster For 2001: A Space Odyssey

2001 A Space Odyssey Poster
Check out this retro alternative art poster for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space odyssey. It comes from Philippines based artist Dianne Aguas and I just love the design. It looks like one of the computer consoles from the movie, with some of the computer screens and an image of the monolith.

It’s easy to believe that this could be seen displayed in theaters in the 1960s. Sadly, it appears that this poster is not available to purchase, which is a good thing because I don’t have enough room for all of the cool stuff that I want.

Fantasy Concept Art For Logan’s Run

Fantasy Concept Art For Logan's Run
Artist Ben Murphy from Cork, Ireland says that this is the first of three mini-projects that is part of his 4th Year Project. The idea is to create the concept art for “Logan’s Run” as if it was being rebooted for this generation of moviegoers. From what I can see on his page, he did an amazing job. Below is just a sample of some of the work that he did.

I really like the costuming of the main characters, the vehicles and the guns. He has a pretty cool vision for what this world would be. I’d love to see his vision in movie form. Even in animation.

Boba Fett Fan Film Movie Trailer


Sometime in the next few years we are going to see Boba Fett back on the big screen. Word is that Lucasfilm has been working on a spinoff movie starring the famous bounty hunter. It may not be confirmed yet, but we know that it’s coming. It might look something like this trailer made by Director Eric Demeusy.

This fan-trailer is called Star Wars: The New Republic Anthology. Boba Fett escapes the Sarlacc Pit and makes his way to his ship, Slave I. The costume looks great, the music is right on target. It makes me itch for Fett’s new movie. It is a great time to be a Star Wars fan.
