SCI FI FUTURISTIC CONCEPT ARMOR AND COSTUMES - PART 5

Been a while since I posted anything on this blog, since I've been super busy. Plus the Batman casting announcement of Ben Afleck had left me too stunned / angry / pissed / shocked to write anything good, so I stayed away from typing things in this blog that would be offensive to my readers.

Anyway, today I'll present an assortment of digital concept art posters and sexy pinups, which showcase a variety of styles by some of my favorite artists. The first pic is some sort of latex tentacle fetish pinup; it was part of a coloring contest done over at CGHub.com - yet it kinda looks like sci fi, so I boldly added it to the mix. The next pic showcases Geriva, one of the characters from the DSNG sci fi series. I've done an article on Geriva's home planet, in the past - and yes, baby got back.
The other three posters showcase sexy female mech / mecha designs and sci fi armor. Special thanks to: papa ninja, d33m0n, saturnoarg, matoel grande, felsus and Mr. DSNG.

THE COMPLEXITY OF PRODUCING A REAL JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE

You've probably heard the rumors of actor Josh Broslin being considered as the next Batman, in Zack Snyder's forthcoming Superman & Batman Movie sequel, which currently has no name. Personally I don't have a problem with Josh [who is shown on the right side below], as he is a good candidate for the role of a mature Bruce Wayne - yet I did have a problem with the rumor about Ryan Gosling beign considered as a Bruce Wayne; since honestly I don't think he has the voice or the persona to pull it off properly.
 
Nevertheless, the proposed Superman & Batman Movie is probably going to be a springboard for future epic action movies that will be a shameless attempt by DC Comics to contend with Marvel's The Avengers movie franchise [which has the Agents of SHIELD TV Show spinoff, coming later this year].
Yet I stand back and take a look at the numbers; and I wonder if Warner Bros is truly ready to "give" before they "receive", in terms of their future major "investments" and their desired "profits", as they try to keep up with Marvel & Disney.

The 2013 Man of Steel Movie cost about 225 million dollars to produce. And that movie starred just One Main Superhero. Now let that simmer in your mind for about 10 seconds.... and then think of what it will cost to produce a bigger and better movie that will involve about 5 to 8 Superheroes!! 
That's one of the points that I'm trying to make. Zack Snyder, as good as he is, is the sort of director that will go "over the top" if you give him the money and the creative freedom. Zack is not like Micheal Badaboom-Kaboom Bay, whose idea of "over the top" is a ton of explosions plus explosions and multiplied by explosions.

I will say that the Man of Steel movie had some segments that seemed to need more expansion [like more scenes of daily life on Krypton, so that we would care more about the sad fate of the people who died on that world]. And there were other segments that could have been fully excluded from the movie, in order to cut down 5 - 10 million dollars.... like the scene with Superman battling the "terraforming tentacle machine" that was sitting in the shallow end of the Indian Ocean, after Superman flew halfway around the world through space, with no oxygen mask, and yet his cape was also fluttering in the wind of space as he flew there to stop the giant machine.
FYI - there is no wind in space; and anyone flying through space will freeze to death, per the subzero temperatures outside of Earth's encasing thermosphere :)

Anyway, Zack Snyder could have cut out that tentacle machine fight and included more of Faora, either interacting with Superman, or just kicking the crap out of him - since Faora was born and raised as a soldier back on Krypton, and Kal-El was not [I did an article about that sexy femme fatale that assisted General Zod over HERE].
Yet Zack Snyder is the kind of director that thinks on an epic grand scale, and that's why he seemed to keep trying to create exponential chaos in the Superman movie - it's also the reason why he spent a ton of time and money on the final battle between Zod and Superman, which wrecked more than half of Metropolis, practically turning the entire city into rubble. 

So what about including a storyline that will properly honor and introduce The Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg, Aquaman and Wonder Woman? What sort of budget / realistic setting could possibly be created to accommodate a running-man, a guy with a power ring that can generate anything green except veggies and Kryptonite, a water-world-king that can walk around and breath freely underwater, and an Amazon princess who has an invisible fighter jet?
Don't worry about Cyborg - he is basically a one-suit-Ironman, without the human limitation of fatigue and without the cocky playboy persona. But just imagine the complexity of the sort of script that could include all of those heroic characters.... AND THEN EVEN HALF OF THE EVIL INJUSTICE LEAGUE??


BTW, there was once a rumor that Christina Hendricks [shown on the right] would be the next Wonder Woman actress, per some things that a director named Nicholas Winding Refn was saying a few years ago. The article with more pics of that voluptuous actress are over Here.
I don't mind if Christina plays that role sometime in the future, in a Justice League movie. I'm more concerned about how the pieces will fit together properly [in terms of balancing the comic-book-lore and fantasy along with believable reality]. Plus I'm still wondering how much money such a a movie, which is intended to be an epic masterpiece, will cost. Remember that "big budget" doesn't always automatically yield a "big hit" at the box office; there are a ton of major films that have flopped this year, including the infamous Western that cost 250 million dollars to produce - The Lone Ranger.

EDIT:
As of August 22, the word is out.... Ben Affleck has been chosen to play the new Batman..........

WTF??????!!!!! Is this some sort of sick joke?? Did anyone at WB studios see Daredevil??? What if Ben borrows George Clooney's old Batsuit??? Of course I'm angry with the casting choice, just like 99.9 percent of the loyal fanboys out there!! :)
I could have sworn that Christopher Nolan [the director behind the latest Batman trilogy] had actually recommended Wes Bentley for the new role!! And I definitely don't want to see this damn Batsuit in 2015!!!! -------->

DEELILAH AND TORI, TWO SEXY FEMALE SCALATANS FROM DSNG BOOK 10!

Most of the fans on facebook have heard that the new ebook DSNG Chronicles Book 10 was released on Amazon over the past weekend. The link to that ebook is over Here.
And in this new 630-page story, Prince Azzar Omenus [the main protagonist] is drawn into an investigation that links him to two lovely Scalatan ladies. The first lady is Deelilah Kerrchof, who made her debut back in DSNG Book 8 [and the previous blog article with pics from that ebook is over Here].
Deelilah is a flashy young lady from a filthy rich pedigree, and she has red hair and lovely pink skin. And Deelilah is a venture capitalist, who buys up faltering firms and transforms / upgrades them, before marketing their new products with a dynamic makeover.
Tori Lox is Deelilah's personal assistant / secretary and bodyguard. And Tori is trained in lethal martial arts, as well as in handling diverse firearms; and Tori has alluring purple skin. Both of them are shown in the pinups below, along with unused sample covers for DSNG Book 10. And the last poster was chosen as the cover image:

 

And although Deelilah and Tori look like sisters per their similar sexy physiques, they are like night and day, in terms of their diverse personalities.
Tori is disciplined and direct in her speech, while Deelilah is rather flamboyant - and she often loves acting like she's in a Shakespearean play. Tori is an introvert, while Deelilah is an extrovert. And while Tori enjoys quiet evenings with a glass of wine beside an indoor pool, Deelilah prefers partying with a wild crowd on the top of a tall building with loud music.

Nevertheless, they are almost like sisters. And in DSNG Book 10, after death-threats are made on Deelilah's life by an evil individual, the rich young Scalatan lady contacts Prince Azzar, seeking his help. Azzar, a super soldier, considers Deelilah as one of his trusted allies, despite her eccentric ways. Thus he steps up to the challenge and that leads to an explosive adventure.

Beyond those two intriguing Scalatan ladies, there are other characters featured in the new book 10, including old faces [like Sargon, Mia, Obed and Elena] and some new faces [like The Tank, and the Blackthorn Clan]. I probably should do a separate article featuring Mia; she's the lady that Prince Azzar is currently dating and she looks just like Buffie the Body, in terms of her sexy hourglass figure.

Anyway, this book 10 is not the end of the sci fi series. Consider it a new beginning, as a lot of puzzle pieces have been gathering slowly since the first book. And DSNG is a continuous saga, so you can expect lots of action-packed adventures to come in the future!

Here is the Synopsis for the new ebook, as presented in the description at Amazon:
_________________________________________________________________________

The dynamic sci fi adventure continues with the tenth installment of the DSNG series! After some startling violent attacks at different venues by a massive alien creature tagged as a vicious razerback, Prince Azzar Omenus gets a distressed call from one of his trusted allies, a beautiful pink-skinned Scalatan lady named Deelilah Kerrchof. And the lovely female CEO appears to be in need of his powerful assistance, in order to protect her from some recent lethal threats that were strangely linked to the enigmatic razerback. Hence the regal soldier soon embarks upon an arduous investigation to find the devious sponsor of the fanged eldritch werewolf.

Simultaneously the young Alpha Senturi soldier named Sargon Nexzon—one of the soldiers mentored by the Prince—gets a separate call from Rebba Gerradez, a distressed professor. And that call draws Sargon to the site of his former grad-school college campus, in order to investigate the deaths of several graduate students and security guards. And when Sargon finally starts asking hard questions to Rebba and the other eyewitnesses, it appears that there is more to this case than meets the eye—and even the federal investigators at the site appear to have their own agenda, thus further complicating things for Sargon.

And as the two disparate investigations progress, neither Prince Azzar nor Sargon are fully aware of the devious web of chaos and destruction that they’ll inadvertently find themselves drawn into, as they travel throughout the mega state of New Romania, hunting the mysterious razerback and its elusive sponsor…

Meanwhile, over on the colonized moon Yantos, Yatzat’s day of sentencing has finally come; and she eagerly anticipates being exonerated from all blame, at the venerated Zarchon tribunal. But things soon take a sharp turn for the worse; and it appears that she is destined to be mercilessly punished for the past crimes that she was forced to commit, when she was a captive working for the Gorilla Rebel Militia…

2013 COMIC CON HEAVY HITTERS - THE WOLVERINE MOVIE AND ANT MAN!!

While ignoring the Sharknado buzz of last week, I shall focus on more important issues.... I did some digging around on the internet and checked out the list of big names and big movies that will be showcased this year at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con. And the most prominent feature so far will be The Wolverine movie which is slated for July 26th, just less than a week after the Comic Con ends. Hugh Jackman is slated to be at the con, and it is likely that he'll be drawn into extensive panel discussions in order to promote the movie. The wallpaper on the left from the latest movie trailer shows Wolverine vs. the Silver Samurai [played by Will Yun Lee].

Marvel comics will probably also introduce other Easter eggs and surprise treats at the con for the fanboys, in an attempt to utilize the media blitz to push their other in-development projects. There is another rumor swirling around the net that the 2014 Phase-2 movies from Marvel will be Dr. Strange and Ant Man. And word is, Vin Diesel [who will also be at the San Diego Comic Con promoting Riddick] may be grabbed by Marvel to play Ant Man [and this will mean that he will also be in The Avengers 2 movie].

Jamie Foxx and Andrew Garfield will also be on hand to make their presentation for Amazing Spider-Man 2.  Not too interested in that movie, since honestly.... I didn't see the first one!! I was a fan of the original Spidey goddamnit! Tobey Maguire was the perfect geek for that role and that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it!!! :)

Anyway, Hopefully I'll post more articles featuring cosplay from the San Diego Comic Con later this week...

THE SCARLET WITCH ACTRESS FOR THE AVENGERS 2 MOVIE! [AS VOTED BY INTERNET FANBOYS]

MMmkay, After seeing her pic in another major Website, I've heard that some fanboys are actually hoping that the Scarlet Witch actress will look like this cosplay chick on the left, who will probably be at the San Diego 2013 Comic Con later this month... And not that it really matters, but I think she is wearing a corset to keep that hourglass figure... since I can see some sort of X-lace over her stomach, beneath her one-piece red bathing suit.

And speaking of X, Ms. Scarlet here is part of the X-men and the Avengers, per their expanded team rosters [just like Wolverine]. And I can't wait to see the real Scarlet Witch Costume in the Avengers 2 movie! Come on Joss Whedon! Give us some damn teasers! Or better yet, find out who this cosplay chick is and give her an audition! And who cares if she can't really act? Since when have Marvel movies ever been hits solely because the chosen actors could all really act?? LOL!!

EDIT: I don't know the name of the Power girl cosplayer on the right, but she may be from the 2013 Comic Con.

THE INCONSISTENCY OF DC COMICS - FEATURING WONDERWOMAN COSPLAY

I'll start of this week with a little rant, and the focus of this discussion is tied to an article that I saw recently on Yahoo. Some guy was saying that Wonder Woman was going to be The BEST movie for DC Comics to make next. But I strongly disagree. Truthfully it looks like DC and Warner Bros will probably be focused upon bringing a Superman & Batman movie to the big screen, sometime in 2015, if not sooner. 

Honestly if you take a look at Wonder Woman shown on the left, you will recall that she was created at a period in which heroism and patriotism were fused together to create comic characters that appealed to young men. But trust me guys, watching a young busty lady wearing star-spangled panties flying in the air with an "invisible jet" and running around in high-heeled boots while wielding a super-truth lasso is something that audiences might not be truly ready for. BTW, I do not know the name of the cosplayer behind that pic - but if you're a regular at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, you might catch her there.
Anyway, a few years ago the big wigs at DC Comics rapidly tried to revamp WWs image and they gave her a new spunky costume designed by the legendary Jim Lee; which truly made her look more hip than ever before [and the image by Alex Garner on the right shows the new costume]. But even that didn't help the attempted Wonder Woman Television series - which turned out to be a major failure back in 2011 - the past article on that flop is over HERE.

And now for the inconsistency: Most fanboys and fangirls know that Wonder Woman is the female version of Superman, having almost all his powers [save for his heat vision, X-ray vision and frost breath], and none of his weaknesses [she isn't allergic to shiny green rocks].
But if that is the case, and since Wonder Woman / Diana is invulnerable to fire and bullets, then why the hell does she need those damn bullet-proof bracelets?? [Ping, ping!].
And why would you need Wonder Woman when you have PowerGirl, a true Kryptonian? [although in some alternate universes, PG is presented as a clone].
Alas, there are a lot of inconsistencies in terms of power levels for the heroes / heroines in the world of comics; it's the sort of thing that I strive to avoid when I write my DSNG ebooks, out of respect for the fans. Nevertheless, I do hope that DC Comics brings "Boyscout Clark and Billionaire Playboy Bruce" together in the next Man of Steel movie sequel; since a poorly planned Wonder Woman movie just might crash and burn faster than a speeding bullet...

10 FUNNY THINGS THAT STOOD OUT IN THE NEW SUPERMAN / MAN OF STEEL 2013 MOVIE!

Movie Review... Plus Spoilers!! So Be warned!!
After a long morning, I finally saw the hyped movie.... and yeah, it was worth the hype. The new Man of Steel is just that.... "An alien Man internally made of Steel"; he seems to be taken right out of the serious-mood-fantasy-files of Director Zack Snyder, the guy behind 300 and Sucker Punch...  Truthfully speaking, Zack has a dark mind; and that means he prefers rather "darker themes" to the "brighter ones" - it even shows in the color schemes he chooses when shooting all of his movies. Plus it appears that Zack hates happy endings; if you doubt that, then go and see SuckerPunch one more time, with your lil' kids - LOL

Anyway, I'm not too sure about how much input that the Producer Christopher Nolan [the guy behind the Dark Knight Trilogy] had in the presentation of the movie; but this new Superman was far more grittier and hardcore than all the others in the history of the franchise.
I will admit that the sci fi action in the new Man of Steel 2013 movie is extremely intense, from start to finish. Not sure how the hell it got a PG-13 rating... but alas, stranger things have happened! Now here are 10 things [funny & serious] that stood out when I watched the movie:
 
1. Superman [played by Henry Cavil] was portrayed as a happy buff hobo, a guy with no permanent address and no real job, who roams about doing good.

2. Superman was capable of breathing in space, and his cape did not freeze while he soared outside of the Earth's orbit [and neither did he]. In fact, there was a strange wind blowing outside the exospheric band of our planet Earth, which caused his cape to be fluttering, while he soared outside of Zod's spaceship and rocketed towards the escape-pod that Lois had utilized to flee from that vessel. Apparently the writer / director forgot that space is FREEZING COLD.
 

3. Lois Lane is a Redhead! Oh Sweet Baby Jezus, when did Lois Lane become a Redhead? And if  you're going to make Lois a Redhead, then take a cue from Jessica Rabbit and make her SMOKIN' HOT! In fact, Faora-Ul, the female villain / Commander that helped General Zod, was even HOTTER than Lois!
Plus Faora could kick ass, just like Superman!! BTW, Faora was played by actress Antje Traue - and she is pretty much Ursa, reincarnated from the good ol' 1980s Superman II movie!

IVY DOOMKITTY AND MARIE CLAUDE, 2 SEXY COSPLSYERS - BOUND FOR THE 2013 SAN DIEGO COMIC CON

Not much to say in this post; I just have a few pictures that I wanted to share and discuss. In the past, I've posted lots of cosplay pics featuring Bianca Beauchamp, the Canadian Supergirl, and Yaya Han, the lovely international cosplayer - I called her that moniker because Yaya often travels to China, her home country, and she does cosplay in the conventions over there, along with the conventions over here in the USA. And FYI, for the fanboys: you can see Yaya and Bianca in the archived Catwoman Cosplay blog article over Here.

But today, I'll focus on two other young ladies, who will probably be at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con. The first pic features a popular cosplayer who is a fan of the Monkey Boy artist named Frank Cho [who currently works for Marvel Comics] - in fact she got into cosplaying because of Frank Cho; and her name is Ivy Doomkitty. She is shown on the left.
Ivy puts the "V" in "Voluptuous". She is naturally thick per her genetics, and she has tons of drooling male fans on facebook. Ivy is laid back and she's actually a geek at heart, thus making her almost every fanboy's Pawg dream. And I've got another article that features more Star Trek cosplay pics of Ivy Doomkitty [Ivy Turner] over Here.

The second pic features a Canadian French model named Marie Claude Bourbonnais. Marie is very down to earth and she is fluent in French / English. She's been featured in several magazines like American Curves. And while I'll make this distinction, it probably won't matter to most fans of Marie. I believe that she has confessed in a past interview to getting boob implants. Personally, I don't care if a young lady does that sort of thing. It's her body, she can do whatever the hell she wants to do with it. But honestly, if true self-esteem is never there, deep within the heart, then getting giant puppies / jugs / bazonkas are not going to give it to her... relax, I'm just thinking out loud again.
I'll be back later with more art & pics, stay tuned....

HEAVY SCI FI ARMOR, CYBORG ZOMBIES, A STAR WARS RIP-OFF AND OTHER STUFF!

Over the weekend I saw these pics drawn by an artist named Zabolight over at CGHub. They were cool looking Sci Fi pics, yet I found them a bit hard to swallow... since the heavy battle armor seemed just a bit too excessive to accept as functional gear.

 

  Does that arch-angel combat armor look epic? Yes, it does. But is it truly functional? Probably not... and I'll explain why.
  
Consider a human soldier in a fantasy world wearing that angel armor and heading out into the battlefield. Yeah, he will have big guns and flashy wings, but he has just  made himself a bigger target for snipers to hit. And even considering maneuverability, he / she really cannot fit into tight corners or hide away behind barricades, due to the excessive horizontal and vertical protrusions of the armor.
Perhaps flying high and fast would be the only saving grace of having such bulky broad battle armor... but even then, a human soldier being flying around with that sort of angel armor is now inserted into an aerial zone where there are much bigger metallic birds in the sky, bird with 40mm autoguns and heat seeking missiles, who will blow the human angel to "infinity and beyond."
Relax, I'm just thinking out loud, the same way I was thinking aloud about "deadly cyborg zombies" when I posted that other pic on the right side in facebook. But rest assured my friend, zombie cyborgs with flesh-ripping claws do not exist :)

A few months ago I wrote an article that showcased female fantasy armor from the Galaxy Saga mobile gaming franchise [shown over Here]. And today, we have another pic of a Space Knight from the "Galaxy Saga galaxy", located above on the left. First of all, it should be clear to see why it almost looks like a Star Wars rip-off, per the light sabers that the knight is wielding, almost like some fantasy Jedi. Perhaps if the dual swords had more unique shapes, then perhaps it wouldn't be so easily linked to Star Wars, from a conceptual point of view. BTW, did you ever realize that "Jedi" is a dictionary word?? LOL!! George Lucas made history and even additions to the English language!


BTW, the cyborg zombie pic was drawn by concept artist Randis, while the Galaxy Saga Space Knight was drawn by the guys at conceptarthouse. And the last image of a sexy female sniper with a big butt was done by artist Jibro. There should be links to more archived articles with concept art shown below!

FEMALE SCI FI / FANTASY CHARACTER CONCEPT DESIGNS - PART 3

I've gathered a few more concept art posters and wallpapers from around the Web. They showcase mostly fantasy armor concept designs for female warriors, including light knight armor, light exo-suits, barbarians, and other sleek battle armor.

When you download the images to your desktop, you should see the names of the artists intertwined  in the description. Special thanks to: Kveldulv, june99, Datouxiaozuo, Hinew and George for their great art!

The so-called "controversial busty redhead Sorceress art" poster shown above is from the forthcoming video game, Dragon's Crown. The name of the artist behind those two pics is George Kamitani... not sure why the Sorceress is using her magic staff as a stripper pole, but hey, I didn't draw any of this stuff so I make no apologies or explanations for it.

George is clearly a Cheesecake artist, and a lot of people on the internet [Trolls, who obviously have no jobs or anything else better to do] have been ridiculing his artwork, per the exaggerated female proportions. Honestly that stuff is trivial and should not bother anyone. What he draws is his prerogative; plus the game publisher has to approve of the concept art before it's accepted and animated.... so the guys at ATLUS and VANILLAWARE must love his busty chicks and their big butts and huge boobs. Do I care about what they like? Nope. Makes no difference to me at all. I've got better things to do than bitch about the artwork / art-style of someone else.

Plus if you don't like it, then when the game comes out in a few months, then don't buy it. The game will be released on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita on July 25, 2013 in Japan, and North America on August 6, 2013.

COOL [AND FUNNY] BEHIND THE SCENES POSTERS FROM IRON MAN 3 MOVIE!

You can consider this article as a movie preview rather than a review, since it doesn't have any spoilers - Tomorrow, May 3rd 2013, Tony Stark [Robert Downey Jr.] returns to give fans his uncanny mix of humor, wit, high-tech gadgets and drama. I gathered these images from around the Web and decided to post them. Right now the Iron man 3 movie has grossed over 300 million dollars oversees, after about 2 weeks in the foreign box office. And Marvel Inc. is hoping that it does the same in the US. Will Iron man 3 movie be better & more profitable than The Avengers movie? I dunno, guys; but both movies have clearly been contrived around Robert Downey's entertaining armored character.

Some online reviewers have already stated that Iron man 3 is the best installment of the trilogy. And while there is no news right now on whether Robert Downey Jr. will be back for a 4th ride [he'll have to sign a new contract with Marvel Studios for that... and it won't be a cheap one], fans can rest assured that they will not be let down by this third movie.

I must confess that I wasn't certain who was behind the Iron Patriot armor last year, when I wrote an article about Iron man 3 - rumors about a certain villain named Coldblood were swirling around that time. But now it's clear that it was actor Don Cheadle wearing the Iron Patriot armor [shown above], who played as War Machine in the previous movie.

In this 3rd movie, the insidious movie villain, the Mandarin, is played by Ben Kingsley [shown on the left]. And apparently Guy Pearce has a role as a bad guy as well, from the movie trailers -- I'm not sure who he is yet, but he probably locks horns with Iron man half-way through the movie. Additionally, I'm not sure if an excess of explosions in an action movie can be a bad thing, but that's what the reviewers who saw the early movie screenings keep hinting about.

OK, the very last image above on the right made me laugh... almost made me think that Russel Westbrook dressed up Robert Downey for that movie premier - LOL. That pic was taken in Munich Germany, last month in April 2013.
