Which actor is Darth Vader for you? A quick straw poll around this blogger’s flat suggests that most people go with either James Earl Jones (voice) or David Prowse.

The warrior woman photography of Andrey Yakovlev and Lili Aleeva
The Russian pair have a fantastic eye for photographic fantasy. The Photodom site has some more examples of their work – be a little cautious as some of the shots are a little sexy in the name of art – and they’re also active on Behance.
Portal Christmas tree
Are you doing Christmas this year? How about doing Christmas with a twist? A portal twist? This rather awesome picture shows exactly that – a portal Christmas tree.
Amazing landscapes carved into books
This set of artwork from the multi-talented Guy Laramee is simply amazing. Guy is a writer, a painter, singer, sculptor and even makes instruments. That explains where all my artistic talent went, mine and five other people – all our art skills ended up in Guy instead. That said, I’m still a geek. I can’t […]

The holy unholy terror of Pyramid Head in stained glass
Stained glass always reminds me of churches and cathedrals. What about you? For me, stained glass therefore has implications of holy places and perhaps even protection. Fantasy gamers know all too well that if you’re on a retreat from an unholy terror then get onto sanctified soil. What’s why a stained glass display of Silent […]
