Fan Art Friday #19

I thought i would showcase some of my colour/graffiti work (since you may have gotten bored with the black and white drawings):

Dr Slater Graffiti

The above drawing is taken from my pseudonym ‘Dr Slater’ hence the syringe is inking the word (which is bleeding). Below; a friend of mine had asked me to design her name in graffiti style. I actually painted this one:

Shannon Graffiti

Does anyone else like graffiti as an art form? I think it can be really beautiful (when it is not along the lines of vandalism of course).

Alien Concept Origin

The origin for the Chestburster xenomorph from Alien comes from screenwriter Dan O’Bannon:

Chestburster Origin Concept

He was inspired to write the scene after some fast food made him sick. Click here to watch the origin video of the scene.

Living Toys

Do you think it would be amazing or scary if our toys could come to life? Even if we have given them a certain personality; that might not be who they really are if they came to life. Here are examples of some living toys that we’ve come to love and fear:

1. Small Soldiers

The Gorgonites were the good toys in this story; i’d love to have a few of them alive in my room. However, the Commando Elite would wreak havoc in your house:

Small Soldiers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Toy Story

Hardly any bad toys here (except that Lotso bear guy and the Prospector). Sid’s toys are also a bit scary with how they’ve been mutated. But all of Andy’s toys are welcome to roam my room:

3. The Indian in the Cupboard

Little Bear is the kind of toy you want stepping out of that cupboard, but when your friends meddle with your stuff and bring Boone to life; things can get a bit chaotic:

4. Ted

Ok; so i’m pretty sure that you either love Ted or hate him. I think he could be a bad influence, but there were times when he showed potential for love and loyalty:

5. Chucky

Do i even have to say anything? Absolutely not wanting this thing to come to life ever!

Would you ever want your toys to come to life?

Wormholes

Here is a quick post explaining how wormholes function (for those of you who wanted more information on them):

Wormhole

The wormhole in the film Interstellar was based on real science; as explained below:

I thought only anti-matter could pass through a wormhole; so if this does become possible one day it’s going to be truly fascinating.

He is king sized too! I must admit; Disney is coming out with some pretty cool Star Wars toys. I’m not disappointed in their quality at all (hopefully this same standard carries through in the 7th film):

Has anybody else been exposed to the Disney line of Star Wars toys? What are your thoughts on price/quality?

Another all ink drawing! It’s my main man Freddie Mercury 😎 :

Freddie Mercury

I know there’s a lot of shadow on his face and such, but the reference picture was pretty dark like that; so don’t judge too heavy 😉 My fave Queen song is A Kind of Magic :

Queen Vinyl

This is my baby vinyl single of the song. Has anyone seen the film Highlander ? I actually haven’t… Please let me know how it was:

Also; what is your fave Freddie/Queen song?

Ratchet and Clank Movie

Finally one of our favorite video games will get its film adaption. Ratchet and Clank are coming this year!

Ratchet and Clank Movie

The film will be an origin story that retells the events of the original Ratchet & Clank, depicting how Ratchet and Clank met each other as they attempt to save the Solana Galaxy from Chairman Drek and the Blarg. However, the film will expand on various plot points in greater detail, and will also incorporate some elements from later series entries, such as Doctor Nefarious and the Galactic Rangers.
