Triptych: Four Brothers


"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" by The Geek Gallery


"Lichtenstein Pop Martial Art Chelonians" by Butcher Billy


"The Turtles" by Kristafer Anka

All good stuff, but I love the TMNT redesign by Kristafer Anka. It's worth reading his writeup on his thought process for how he approached each of the turtles.

Rik Oostenbroek's Next Level series, featuring computer-generated versions of classic Nintendo objects, is simply stunning. Although I'm sure it'll never happen, I would love to have an actual physical version of that NES cartridge. In the meantime I would settle for a high-quality print. Shiny!

Triptych: Ol' Tetrahedron Head


"Pyramid Head" by Fernando Lucas1


"Pyramid Head Art Card" by Kevin Bolk2


"Pyramid Head In Limbo" by Zed3

I don't have much in the way of a Cthulhu Cthursday today, so instead it's Pyramid Head Day!

1 Really like the lines on this. Reminds me a lot of Mike Mignola's style.

2 Kevin Bolk, the man behind Pot Luck Comics \ Sucks To Be Weegie, did this chibi-style Pyramid Head at a fan's request. As he puts it, "why people would want me, of all people, to draw this character is beyond my understanding."

3 I've posted some of Zed's Limbo mashups before in the past. Lookit how huge Pyramid Head is compared to the Limbo kid! Hyuuuuuuge!

Triptych: Time For Adventures


"Adventure Time: The Game" by Mike Gaboury1


"The Ice King" by Eric Ridgeway2


"It's Adventure Time!" by Mike Krahulik3

1 I've posted about Mike's imaginary-but-he-keeps-working-on-it-so-maybe-eventually-real Adventure Time game before; these level samples make me yearn for the real thing all the more.
2 Serious Ice King is serious.
3 One of the covers for "Adventure Time #5" by Penny Arcade stalwart Gabe. I particularly like this because it's just Finn and Jake hanging out at home, playing with BMO. Adventures are great and everything but sometimes you just wanna chill out at home playing videogames with your friends.

"My Little Colossus" by Blondeyetti3


"Shadow of the Patapon" by Vitor Caneco4


"SOTC" by Maitaboris


"Shadow of the Munny" by Matthew Ellison5

1 Who doesn't love Little Nemo? The pairing of Nemo and a Colossus is genius, for the record.
2 A Shadow of the Colossus\Mother 3 mashup. Nothing more to say except I like how well this captures the tone and spirit of both games. And the querying "Is there a bug on me?" question mark over the Colossus' head.
3 I am not a brony. I honestly do not get that weird little niche subculture of 20- and 30-year-old dudes who are really into MLP:FIM. That said, I thought this pony Colossus was some fine work, from the mossy patches to the glowing section on the rump.
4 I've never actually played Patapon, but this looks about right.
5 I've been getting back into vinyl custom figures lately and I came across this in my internet travels. Very nice work.

"Weird Alvolution" by Miranda Dressler

With the exception of Spatula City, these were all featured in Gallery1988's "Is This Thing On? 2" comedy retrospective exhibit. Check out the link for more.

ps. How great is Weird Al? That man is a stone-cold genius. Future historians will look back on him as one of the most important artists of the era. Mark my words!
