What I like about this cosplay is that it’s really simple, yet is unusual. It’s Samus Aran, but not the normal Zero Suit one, but the version from the original Metroid when you use the Justin Bailey cheat. This cosplayer, Linda Le, really pulls off a stunning job, with some great details that brings …

Deviantartist Tchukart, aka Sam Kullen, has created some video game shirt designs which feel like they would also make good posters. These range from iconic, to humorous, to just plain cool and while there are only a few, the rest of Sam’s gallery is worth checking out.

When teachers told Deviantartst SarurunKamui to stop wasting time and making fans out of old homework assignments, her response was of course to make really awesome video game themed paper fans. Okay, I don’t really know how the story goes, but it ends with Deviantartist SarurunKamui creating really awesome video game themed paper fans. They …

Deviantartist Gwiffen has a perfect Fire Emblem Awakening “Marth” cosplay. A lot of this is perfect and not just clothes. The hair is perfect, the mask is a nice touch, and I especially like the details on the Falcion. To me the hallmark of a great cosplay is when a outfit that is …

The Comics vs. Games 2 Showcase at the Toronto Comics Arts Festival has a lot of great art to show off. There’s some really great and stylized art all while feeling very indie (which also makes it very cool.) I’m going to post some of my favorites but be sure to check out the whole …

Doodlebender is hosting an auction of art of the original 151 Pokemon, each done by a different artist. That means that each piece ranges from being cute, to weird, to awesome, to a little scary. The best part is, the proceeds of the auction all go to Canines for Disabled Kids, which I support 649%. …

I read an interesting article the other night about the portrayal of women in media. Discussed was the subject that a loincloth barbarian male is not the same thing as a chainmail bikini female, in the sense that male is designed as a male power fantasy character while the woman is designed as a male …

So like many things in popular culture, I should probably watch Game of Thrones. It has quite the following and apparently it is very good. Well, maybe I would be more inclined to start if the show also was about Pokemon, as deviantartist Kaikoa (known as Cami Sanders) demonstrates with awesome looking sigils based on …

Cake art. I’m not sure what to think about it. Is art forever or is art something that you enjoy and then eat? Like that animated Zelda cake, what do you do with that? How do you eat such a masterpiece but at the same time, how do you not? This beauty is brought …

This amazing image of every main Fire Emblem Awakening character by Deviantartists hasuyawn. I love this and I’m probably going to see if I can pick up a print at Fanime. It captures each character so well, which is good since the personality of each character is really what makes Fire Emblem such …

Where there’s a gravity gun, there’s always some fun! If you thought the portal gun replica was awesome, then surely you’ll love the replica of the Zero Point Energy Field Manipulator from the fantastic Half-Life 2. The best part, it’s available for pre-order so you can own this bad boy pretty soon. Watch …

Yeah I don’t know what to call this kind of art style. Indie just seemed like the right word. Doesn’t really matter thought because I love it and it covers a wide range of pop culture from Star Wars to Pokemon. Here are some of my favorites but if you want to check out more, …

I think Deviantartist Abraham Lopez, also known as Aritstabe, has found the next Street Fighter cross-over game: Street Fighter x Lilo and Stitch. Okay, so maybe it’s not a true cross-over game, but looking at this art does make me wish for a Disney fighter.

While Bioshock Infinite may not have been perfect, it did have a wonderful art direction. Particularly, the motorized patriots have some of my favorite designs in the game, not only looking like George Washington but having the flags positioned in such a way that they look like wings. I think it’s a pretty clever way …

Reyner Alencar is a Brazilian illustrator working at Gurei Studios who has created a very Disney or Pixar like rendition of Chell from Portal. I think the image is cute, but I can’t get past the red nose. Still, I can’t say that I wouldn’t make the same expression if I was whizzing through portals.
