Recently I had the opportunity to talk with artist Scott Campbell about his book “The Great Showdowns”, and a little bit about movies and being an art director for Double Fine.
Mr. Campbell’s book ”The Great Showdowns” is a great book filled with drawings from what he believes to be the greatest showdown between two characters or two things in a particular movie. None of the drawings tell you what movie it is, so it creates a sort of group game/activity where you can work together with people to figure out what movie each drawing represents.
Check out the interview below.
Here is a partially animated, special effects heavy, video of an art battle that was sent in by friend of the site Monika. Here’s what she said about it:
What?! Did someone say something about realistic depictions of bad guys in Mario games? These are super cool, and very creepy. Check below for some more.
Earlier today I posted some realistic depictions of Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters. Now I feel the need to show you some realistic sculptures of Futurama characters. Above is Professor Farnsworth. Check below for Zoidberg, Leela, & Nibbler.
Dave Rapoza seems to really like doing “realistic” versions of cartoons from his childhood. His most recent set is Masters of the Universe characters. He also did a fairly large set of characters from from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You can check out a few more examples below.
