Have I told you how I hate the fact that DC canceled Legends of the Dark Knight? No? I’m sure Matthew wouldn’t mind me going on for a bit, but I’ll save that for another Major Spoilers Podcast where I can make Matthew jump about like an ape gone mad flinging poo at the floor and then rolling around it in. Instead, today’s Art Appreciation Moment of the Day showcases what might have been from Kelsey Shannon had DC allowed the series to continue.
For the creative type, having an office that is both functional and kick-ass is really important. I’ve showed off the Major Spoilers HQ a few years ago, but over time the place has grown to be quite a mess. I’m rectifying that at the moment, and will show off what has become of the space since it was last under the microscope. In the meantime, I thought using today’s Art Appreciation Moment of the Day to showcase an artists’ workspace might be part inspiration, part motivation.
After yesterday’s retro styled posters for Disney/Pixar’s UP!, I had a yearning for other retro art. It didn’t take me long to find Eric Tan’s work for the Indiana Jones series, which will blow your mind. Take the jump for Eric’s comments, and the final design.
Many of you are probably familiar with Randall Munroe’s xkcd web comic series that brings a chuckle to my face every day. Instead of featuring his stick figure work, today I want to show-off his take on the chart meme sweeping the Intardwebz that features everything from space missions, to Star Trek history. His take on Lord of the Rings is nice, but it’s his Primer interpretation that has me in stitches.
Head over to his site for the full image.
The Disney/Pixar UP! movie arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray on November 10, 2009. To help get people in the mood, Disney sent us some amazing retro art made for the film. Take the jump to see all eight!
Haven’t featured much of Josh Howard on the Major Spoilers website in the last couple of months, and it’s time to rectify that problem now with a series of images Josh has created using cardboard as his medium of choice.
I totally fell in love with the first issue of Hunter’s Fortune from Boom! Studios. Joe Quinones posted the cover to the final installment of the issue over at his website, and I can not wait to see how this series ends.
If you are a fan of Critical Hit, the Major Spoilers Dungeons and Dragons Podcast, then you’ll be happy to know we are recording a new batch of episodes RIGHT NOW! It’s too bad you can’t listen/watch live, but to give you a feel of how epic the encounters are today, we’re giving you a look at some work by Brazilian artist, Felipe Massafera.
A bit late with today’s installment, but I found, then lost, then found once again Adam Archer’s wonderful Poison Ivy piece. I like this, not because of the female form, but the myriad of leaves that are added to the work that blend wonderfully with the background, and the foreground subject.
Kevin Church has a jones for anything featuring J. Jonah Jameson, and for a while has been collecting renditions of J.J. done by artists he likes. Today he posted his latest acquisition from Kevin Nowlan, and it deserves to be seen in today’s Art Appreciation Moment.
This past weekend at the Boston Comic-Con, Cliff Chiang was there sketching like a mad man. He’s posted a few of his sketches on this website, but we couldn’t pass up his version of Buckaroo Banzai.
Had a great time in Boston this past weekend, courtesy of Nick Kanieff, Colin Solan, and everyone else in the Boston Comic-Con crew. Thank you! They are is growing by leaps and bounds, and I’m very excited for their next show in April 2010, with some guys named Jim Lee and Mike Mignola.
How could I let a week go by without featuring the big names of the Legion? Today, it’s Gene’s take on Saturn Girl.
Who says we only have to feature the heroes from the Legion of Super Heroes universe? Today’s Gene Gonzales entry features The Emeral Empress from the Fatal Five. He’s a great character and rendered well by Gonzales, and thanks to 52, we now know where the Emerald Eye of Ekron came from.
A nice thing about the Legion of Super Heroes is the team is composed of both men and women, which means there’s a pretty even distribution of testosterone and estrogen that keeps artists in check. As part of our week long look at Gene Gonzales’ take on the Legion of Super Heroes, we take a look at Timber Wolf, who may or may not look an awful lot like another character from another company…
Our Gene Gonzales/Legion of Super Heroes theme continues this week, with a look at Duo Damsel. Seems appropriate, since yesterday’s entry featured Computo.
