Cosplay: When it's right, it's right

Given: cosplay can be awesome when done properly.

O Raptorjeebus, I haven't even seen Valkyria Chronicles, but I know this turned out just fine.

Crystal Graziano as Selvaria Bles was found via Kotaku on Deviantart.

Breakfast Granola for 4/13/10

And now for something completely different: art, this time by Ryan Kinnaird. I was first acquainted with his work on the covers of Playstation Magazine, and a few comic covers. Apparently, he also does character designs for Sodapop Miniatures.

Stumbled upon Fiametta via Deviantart.

Hell is full

I follow Joe Wight on Deviantart, and this came through the New pile.

Some teaser art from the upcoming comic series "The Last Zombie" written by horror novelist Brian Keene.

1001 Arabian Nights

This interpretation of fabled storyteller Scheherazade is by GENZOMAN of Deviantart.

Got ninjutsu?

Paulo of Abduzeedo says it himself:

I know many people don't like manga at all. And would include myself between them... but a few months ago I came to know this awesome series. I've never liked the Zodiac Knights very much, or Dragonball, or whatever... but for me, Naruto is really awesome.

So he's not down with Saint Seiya or the DBZ, but he apparently likes the Narutos -- which has an alternately weird and fascinating fandom -- and has a small gallery of select Naruto illustrations.

Abduzeedo is run by some Brazillian cats who are all about their Adobe products, design, and illustration. Check them out.

"NARUTO - Eternal Rivlary" depicting Naruto Uzumaki vs. Sasuke Uchiha is by yanimator on Deviantart.

Made in the image of "Dear Leader"

HA WTF!?
BEST.
ANIMATED.
GIF.
EVAR!

Lunchtime Granola for 3/13/9

Chugworth Academy

I don't follow the webcomic closely -- and Dave Cheung seems to have shifted gears to his Boss Noodle project -- but I became aware of it via Deviantart, and he has other interesting stuff there as well.
