It’s Kurt Wagner, otherwise known as “The Amazing Nightcrawler”! This blue-skinned mutant looks perfectly at home teleporting through one of these Portals. No Aperture Science hardware required! His dark skin and outfit are nicely rendered out of the black negative space. Simple blue highlights accent his skin while the red trim with white hands complete the figure’s outline. His bottom half hanging out the bottom of the other portal is nicely highlighted in orange with the red bottom trim and white feet. I very much enjoy the composition of the design. I like that the figure seems to pop out of the top center portal, while his bottom half is in a position where  it can’t possibly be connected, unless  maybe you’re a contortionist!

SPOILER ALERT! Daenerys Targaryen (D.T.) has three dragons! Okay, so hopefully that wasn’t a spoiler, but seeing her ride Drogon sure is! She is accompanied by his brothers, Viserion and Rhaegal. They seem to be taking a midnight path-of-destruction flight. The cool, white-blue moon is large and appealing and central to the design. The silhouette of the dragons are nicely rendered and highlighted by the light of the large moon. I love how the warmth of the embers seem to come and delineate the tree line.

Anakin may not be the most honorable (or likable), but he’s doing his best impression of Game of Thrones‘ Eddard Stark. As Darth Vader, he certainly does play the “hand of the king” to Emperor Palpatine. Here’s an interesting thought. Worse leader? Palpatine? Or Joffrey? I really enjoy the glow of the lightsaber dead center. Wonderful use of grays to etch out the scene. His dark outfit and helmet are nicely highlighted by the Stark (see what I did there) white giving it a shine. Interesting and appropriate round window view background. It is cleverly made up of negative space.

Mhysa! If I were a slave in Game of Thrones, this is one tattoo I wouldn’t mind having! This is a classic Sailor Jerry tattoo style design. It’s a simple design composed of thick outlines with basic colors and bold shading on an antique cream color base.

Whether you’re a scout, in the garrison, or just a new recruit, it seems death is coming for you. Humanity is not safe. Not from the titans. Not from itself.  This stable composition nicely combines the various objects. While the gray-green tones set a hopeless mood.

04/07/14 Top 3 Pick; Winter’s Coming

Watch out Cap, the Winter Soldier is coming! This is a wonderfully timed mash up, pitting the season premiere of Game of Thrones with the weekend release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I can’t imagine this villain would go over well with the Marvel Universe’s own Stark, Tony Stark! Very nice rendering of the figure using dark tones on black. Wonderfully detailed guns radiating in the background are a wonderful sword substitute.

Are you ready for the premiere this Sunday? I am!!! Here we have Jon and Ghost manning the wall with the Night’s Watch. Everything seems calm but “Winter is coming”. The white walker looms large overhead, the threat beyond the wall. All of this is contained in a wonderful oval composition. Nice icy whites and light blues on a navy background. Interesting use of negative and positive space.

This one would be pleased to wear this shirt. The mother of dragons and breaker of chains. The Unburnt. Daenerys Stormborn. Surrounded by her Dragons (Viserion, Rhaegal, and Drogon), Dany looks like “a simple girl who knows little of war”. However, the ranks of Unsullied in the background show her true nature as a force to be reckoned with. Watch out Mereen! The composition of the design surrounds the center figure, visually giving her importance. I  enjoy the various sizes of the dragons giving them the effect of flight. Wonderful use of warm, arid colors on a maroon background with a refreshing touch of sky blue.

This formal and strict governess is ready for a game of chess. The artist’s  different sinister approach to the infamous red queen is stunning. Her beautiful facial features and the wonderful details to her garment and headdress are prim and proper. Justly fit with baroque style background. You’ll lose you head over this design!
