ANGELINA JOLIE BECOMES AN EVIL WITCH? - MALEFICENT WALLPAPER AND SCI FI MOVIE NEWS!

MALEFICENT, HANSEL & GRETEL, PLUS STAR TREK 2 NEWS! 
You've seen her as the busty treasure hunter in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider [2001]. You loved her as the elite killer in Mr. & Mrs. Smith [2005]. You've watched her as the enigmatic gunslinger in Wanted [2008]...... and you watched her and said "Well, WTF?" in Salt [2010]. And now, she is poised to become a wicked witch with lime-green skin.... figuratively of course.
 
Earlier this week at a press conference, Walt Disney Studios announced a U.S. release date of March 14, 2014, for Maleficent, starring Angelina Jolie in the title role as Disney’s ultimate villain. The live-action film explores the origins of the evil fairy called Maleficent and what led her to curse Princess Aurora in Disney’s animated classic Sleeping Beauty. The details on the movie's plot are still sketchy, but I'm not sure if the entire storyline is going to just show "how a good girl turns bad". And the word Maleficent actually means: "capable of producing evil or harm, harmfully malicious".

Nevertheless, here are some profile pictures / headshots of Angelina Jolie, allowing you to see how the gifted actress has taken on different roles over the years, while her alluring focus and luscious lips always remain the same.

 
In the Tomb Raider wallpaper above on the right, Angelina [Lara Croft] is holding two Heckler and Koch USP Match 9mm handguns.

  

 In other news, it is rumored that British actress Alice Eve has joined the cast of Star Trek 2 [slated for 2013] in a supporting role; and that sci fi movie should be released next year. This blonde bombshell has a certain magnetism around her, as she was previously featured in the movie She's Out of My League [2010]. Alice would probably make a very sexy / seductive White Queen, for the Xmen: First Class movie sequel [slated to start production in 2013]. And per the action figure modeled with her true sexy shape shown above, the leading role of the incomparable Emma Frost would certainly fit Alice very well.

And although he is currently one of the stars in the forthcoming The Avengers movie from Marvel Comics Inc., Jeremey Renner has already filmed an action-comedy-fairytale-adventure titled Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, which will be released in the first quarter of 2013. Gemma Arterton is his costar / sister in the movie, and I'm not too sure if fans should expect a cross between Van Helsing and Underworld, per the Steampunk / Neo-Victorian vibe that is emanating from the preview wallpaper shown above.

SCI FI GUNS, WEAPONS, HANDGUNS, LASER RIFLES

 I get a lot of Google searches coming from people scouting the Web looking for "sci fi guns". This blog hosts the DSNG sci fi series [More about DSNG over Here] and there are a ton of articles that I've done in the past showcasing futuristic character designs, along with sample sci fi weapons wielded by the characters; thus the highlighted blog search results make sense. I decided to proceed and create a comprehensive article, an online resource that showcases various sci fi weapons, guns and laser blasters. I've gathered a host of these concept art images from other forums and art hosting Websites; and I'll try to include the names of the original digital artists that created the futuristic concept weapons, which include handguns, hand cannons, assault rifles, sniper rifles, las-pistols, laser beam cannons, anti-matter weapons, automatic carbines, machine-guns, sci-fi guns, posters and other dynamic blasting gadgets.
These concept weapons can be used for games such as Warhammer, Starcraft, Halo 4 Star Wars, Gears of War etc.

LAURA DUBOIS & TAMMY TORRES - SEXY CURVES

Today I'll slide away from sci fi and present some eye-candy. I've had Tammy's pics in a folder on my desktop for a while; decided to put it into an article, along with one of the prominent female characters in the DSNG sci fi series: Laura Dubois. I often draw using sexy poses from real-life models and the samples below will verify this.

Residing on planet Avera, Laura Dubois is a renowned District Attorney for the mega state of South Philadelphia and she is an ex-girlfriend of Prince Azzar, the main hero in the DSNG sci fi series.  I've done a few articles featuring posters of Laura in the past, including the post about the ebook "DSNG TALES: UNUSUAL SUSPECTS" - archived Here, along with the article about the Cheesecake art style.

Tammy [Tamara] Torres is the ex-girlfriend of rapper Lil Wayne and she is clearly an urban hip-hop model with a big butt. Honestly, I don't know how in the world they ended up together.... beyond the fact that he is a famous affluent rap artist. Anyway, Tammy Torres was born in Florida and she is of Cuban /American descent. Since she was born in 1986 she is about 25 and her height is 5'3" while her measurements are 34C-26-40. I almost would have thought she was a Brazilian Pawg, or perhaps a sexy latina from one of the South American destinations [the infamous article that talks about Pawgs is over HERE].

 

On the other hand, Laura Dubois hails from planet Avera in the Makuran Galaxy; thus she's practically an alien being and she is over 100 years old. Yet Averans don't age like humans, save for changes in their hair color. And Laura is far more voluptuous than Tammy, since her dress measurements are: 40G-26-45.

DROPSHIPS, SPACESHIPS & STEAMPUNK CRUISERS - PART 3

I've gathered a few more samples from the Web, showcasing futuristic Spaceships and Dropships. Dropships can be viewed as Aerial Personnel Carriers [a variant of the "APC" abbreviation], which can hover above the ground and climb into high altitudes. Most dropships have VTOL - Vertical Take-Off and Landing - capabilities, which make them extremely versatile on the battle field, or for transporting bulk cargo.

And Spaceships usually refers to an internally pressurized craft that can travel through the exosphere of space, from one planet to another. Along the creative vein of spaceships, we also have fighters, bombers, armadas, warships, and battle cruisers; and there are different defining boundaries that describe the various crafts that fall into those categories.

Perhaps one of the most popular "dropship-styled helicopters" is the Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey [shown in this past article], which was utilized in the Transformers Movie Trilogy directed by Michael Bay, for transporting NEST troops and the Autobots around the globe. Concept designs / artwork from the Halo Wars franchise and another video game called Section 8: Prejudice are presented below:



The three spaceship / dropship wallpapers shown above were done by digital artist Ignacio Bazan Lazcano [we'll showcase more of his outstanding work in the near future]. And the orthogonal overview images below were done by the Bungie design team for Microsoft, owner of Halo Wars.

 

 

 

   

  


In the last row, the first alien dropship is from Halo, while the next one is by Indian concept artist, Dhilip Kumar Somesh [His cool blog is HERE]. And the last two high-speed spaceships that resemble Transformers / Decepticon crafts are by British concept artist Jon McCoy. 
The sleekest looking dropship I've seen so far comes from Star Wars: the Old Republic video game and its called the Phantom X-70B. I think it may actually be an armada class vessel per its large size. And a sample of its large comfy interior is shown as well.

WRATH OF THE TITANS 2012 MOVIE REVIEW!

WARNING: Some Spoilers Are Included.

The new Wrath of the Titans movie [a sequel to the Clash of the Titans released about 2 years ago] debuted yesterday; and it was quite an epic showcase of Special-FX and dynamic action. It stared Sam Worthington as Perseus, the Demigod son of Zeus [played by Liam Neeson] and the female lead role of Andromeda was played superbly by Rosamund Pike, a British actress. The trio of humans that were featured was rounded-off by Demigod Agenor the son of Poseidon, played by Toby Kebbell.
The story starts out rather slow paced, with Perseus living the life of a humble fisherman. But the explosive chaos soon unfolds right after he gets a warning visit from his father, Zeus [who has the ability to take over human bodies at will, even when he's somewhere else]. Perseus [Sam Worthington] is warned of a coming calamity as the people have stopped praying, thus the gods of Olympus have lost a great deal of their powers to keep the demons / monsters bound in Hades, within the prison in the core of hell known as Tartarus. But Perseus now has a young 10-year-old son named Helius, whom he wants to stay alive for and mentor - thus he wants no part in the forthcoming war.

 Less than 24 hours later, all hell brakes loose.... literally; and a Chimera beast attacks the fishing village where Perseus resides. The laconic hero is forced to spring into action and he slays the peculiar winged beast. This Chimera is one of the four mythical creatures featured in the movie and it has two heads [lioness and she-goat], and wings like a classic gryphon. Yet its tail is a venomous snake monster, and its two beastly heads can unleash a fluid that ignites like petroleum, unleashing fiery breath.

After that clash in which Helius is nearly killed, Perseus heads to a devastated mountain temple to pray. There, the god Poseidon shows up and is staggering with weakness... and he confesses that Ares [a certified bad-ass, played perfectly by Edgar Ramirez]  has joined forces with Hades, and they plan to unleash all the monsters in the Tartarus prison, especially the giant lava monster Kronos [who happens to be the father of the gods of Olympus... weird, but this is a sci fi / fantasy story, so stay with me]. And by the way, Zeus has been captured and put in chains, and his drained powers will be used to resurrect Kronos. After delivering the message, Posiedon turns to stone and literally dies.... yes folks, a god literally dies and crumbles like shattered concrete right before the eyes of the hero.

And once I saw this, I again said... WTF??? This is not the first movie in which I've seen the paradoxical demise of a divine immortal being. This sort of thing also happened in the 2012 movie  "Immortals", which starred the Man of Steel, Superman, aka Henry Cavil. Once again in the theater, I was caught up in a cycle of deliberative thoughts that are summed up in this two-part rhetorical sentence:
SO WHY ARE THE GODS DYING?? AREN'T THEY FREAKIN' GODS??

 

   

[Above on the left: Ares, played by Edgar Ramirez, was one of my favorite performances of the whole movie. He also wielded a mystical transformable club / hammer that was 10-times better - in terms of its functionality and application - than the one utilized by Marvel's Thor]

REAL-LIFE NISSAN BATMOBILE, PLUS OTHER BATMOBILE VERSIONS

16 images of various Real Life Batmobiles, used in the movies and animated series!

This year, director Christopher Nolan concludes his Batman movie trilogy with the much anticipated release of The Dark Knight Rises, slated for release on July 18, 2012. Previously in this blog, we've spoken about Batman and his multiple love interests over the years. And today, we take a look at his sleek ride.
I'm sure you remember the classic movie Batman Forever [released in 1995, staring Val Kilmer] and the other movie Batman And Robin released in 1997, which starred George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell and Alicia Silverstsone.... on a side note, I'm not sure what Alicia has been up to since then, but in that Bad-Bat-movie, she played a British born gal who strangely spoke with a full American accent; yet the director didn't give a damn, because she was hot back then. Don't get me wrong; that movie was actually created with a host of gifted actors, who were given an awful / corny script. Thus the end product was rather.... "comical".

Anyway, I recently caught a glimpse of a new concept vehicle by the Japanese company Nissan / Infiniti, which looks a whole lot a like a Batmobile. And in this article we'll also take a look at classic Batmobiles, utilized over the years in Batman movies and TV series. Here are more pics of the vehicle shown above: [You may need to click on "Read More" to see the extra pics in this long article]

BIANCA BEAUCHAMP COSPLAY PART 2 - SEXY RED SONJA!

Originally created back in 1934 by writer Roy Thomas and artist Barry Windsor-Smith, Red Sonja was a companion of Conan the Barbarian and Marvel Comics showcased the "she-devil with a sword" back in a comic in 1973. As a redhead with a hot temper, Sonja has always been feisty and she was designed as a pinup model, per her hourglass figure. But despite her alluring shape, she has a very violent side; and most of the Red Sonja comics are rated Mature, per their bloody and gory content.

The bikini she wears, comprised of "circular scale mail armor plates", is part of her signature. And the large broad sword she carries is certainly a lethal weapon. The cosplay pic on the left showcases Bianca Beauchamp [a popular Canadian latex model often featured in this blog] and she is dressed as a sexy female Barbarian; while the pinup poster of Red Sonja on the right was drawn by Kitsunx at DA and colored by Vest. 

"Savage Red Sonja" and "Queen Sonja" are amongst the monikers that she's adopted over the years. And Sonja has teamed up with a few characters during comic crossovers, including Conan, Claw, Spider-man and Wolverine [apparently she must be a damn time-traveler, but I'll leave the mechanics of that issue alone for now].
Here are a few pinup posters / drawings of the sexy Red Sonja by various artists, including Ed Benes, Marc Silvestri and J Scott Campbell. And despite Bianca's latex attire in the first pic above, I took the liberty of assuming she was shooting for a modern version of  Red Sonja, since the metallic bikinis are probably hard to find in stores.
