Another of the million reasons that this past month has left me in a tizzy is the massive amount of Gears of War 3 coverage we’ve been pumping out at gameinformer.com. I was lucky enough to be one of three to fly down to Epic HQ and see the game, and as such was responsible for the large majority of online content for the month that our June issue hit stands. Most of my time and energy was spent developing a visual identity for the 30+ days of coverage.

Uber quick update! Awesome pinup artist/fellow Witchblade cosplayer Randi LeeAnn was nice enough to use me as inspiration for her newest piece of art - a tribute to Poison Ivy. This is one of her most impressive pieces, and I say that without bias. The detail work in the hair and leaves is stunning. Check out some progress pictures and the final piece below. Thank you Randi!

I just wanted to post a super quick update to share a cool new piece of gift art based on my Wonder Woman tribute to Michael Turner. The most amazing thing about this new piece is that it is all burned into wood. The illustration is done by a method known as Pyrography. I’ve pasted his description of the process below.

I’ve been on a bit of a Silent Hill kick the past few weeks and these little guys are the reason why. After creating my first custom Munny figures a few weeks back, I began feverishly debating what I should take on next. I almost instantly had my mind made up to pay tribute to BioShock with a Big Daddy and Big Sister duo, but got sidetracked by the thought of bringing to life two of Silent Hill’s most iconic monstrosities – Pyramid Head and a Nurse. Trapping myself into finishing these guys this week, I preemptively tied my CosBlog entry on Wednesday to Silent Hill. If you haven’t checked it out yet, do so here!

“We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”

Just a quick note to share a new piece of art that used my mug for reference! I’ve always been a fan of Star Trek (TNG primarily) and so when a talented artist on Deviant Art asked if he could turn me into a Borg queen I gladly accepted. The piece turned out awesome.

Following up on my post from yesterday, I just added a new desktop background to the downloads section.

Hey all! Exciting news!

You may remember that back in June I was the “Fangirl of the Month” over at PanelsonPages.com. A month or so ago they contacted me to see if I wanted to be a part of their 2010 “Fangirl of the Month Calendar” and naturally, I agreed!

It’s no secret that I like stuff. Toys in particular. I’ve been collecting comic book and video game paraphernalia for years now. But the designer toy scene – in particular, vinyl figures – is new territory for me. I’ve been dabbling in Kid Robot offerings for a few years now and have developed some favorite artists, but never tried playing around with the DIY items till this weekend. I figured I would show them off here! Let me know what you think!

As some of you may know, the first two pieces in my sculpture class were video game related. My first was a ChocoMog and the second was an 8-bit tribute to Super Mario Bros. I knew going into this project that it was not going to be video game related, which was kind of a bummer, but at the same time it was a great gift for my parents. Every once in a while I need to remember that I do have a life outside videogames…
