A Celebrity House Party

Photoshop has been celebrities’ friend for years now, as it makes them skinnier or bustier or younger. But what happens when it takes them places they would never normally go? That’s the project that one intrepid man cooked up. He’s created an entire photo album from a party he threw that shows a host of celebrities in attendance.

Naturally, they weren’t there, but his photoshopping is pretty damn good so a lot of the time he makes it seem like they were actually present. If you didn’t know any better, a lot of these would actually appear legit.

Check out the full gallery below. Which celebrities would you invite to your house?

We’ve All Been There

I try to avoid bathroom humor on this site when I can, but sometimes it’s just unavoidable.

This is not a CGI render, but an actual STATUE in a South Korean mall that I in no way understand. But it is in fact amazing. Don’t tell me that this never happened to Bruce Banner during an incredibly difficult…”session.”

Whoever made this should really meet this guy so they can collaborate. Superhero bathroom breaks are a pretty specific niche.

A Gallery of Grotesque Mutated Heroes

Sometimes I find art projects that I just have no words for. This is one of those times.

It’s a gallery of mutated and grotesque heroes and pop culture icons, and I’m sure it’s making some sort of statement, but I can’t really figure out what. They’re all by Alex Pardee, and you can buy prints of them here, but I’ll be damned if I have any idea why you’d want to look at them every day. Once is more than enough for me.

There are some more superheroes below, but characters like Mega Man, Fred Flintstone and Garfield get the same treatment as well, all of which will probably haunt my dreams equally tonight.

Japan Remakes Street Fighter IV With Uh…You’ll See

(click to enlarge)

This isn’t the first time I’ve seen Fast Food characters in a fighting game, but this art project goes far, far beyond that. Artist Kei-Suwabe has taken a host of popular characters from western and Japanese pop culture, and rendered them all in the style of Street Fighter 4. Yes, that includes a few fast food mascots, but folks like Waldo, Bob Ross and Hello  Kitty also make appearances.

I can’t claim to know about 80% of these, but it’s certainly a worthwhile gallery to browse through as you’ll pick out a few icons you recognize. I really would like to play such a title, but I can’t see McDonald’s letting their clown be portrayed as even more creepy than he already is.

Check out the giant gallery below. 1,000 internet points if you can name them all.

Web Browser Cosplay

Published by under Images,Oddly Enough

We’ve seen internet browsers as women before, but only in animated form. Now, we have fully-fledged costumes for each, and a few cute girls wearing them.

I’m not sure if this was Halloween or just the world’s most specific  theme party, but in any case, these ladies have done a damn good job. Firefox is obviously the most elaborate, but it’s clear Internet Explorer is the most accurate. Good stuff all around.

What the…? How the…?

(click to enlarge)

They say the best artists are insane, and I’m inclined to believe that after seeing this exceptionally detailed rendering of a ferret in N7 Mass Effect armor by Olesya.

I’ve no idea what inspired such a picture, other than an obviously love for both intrepid space games and ferrets. For further evidence of her pet obsession, it’s also worth looking at Sub-Ferro-Zero, which is exactly what you think it is. You’re going to have to check him out below:

A Gallery of Comic-Con in 1980

Published by under Images,Oddly Enough

I didn’t realize until now just how long Comic-Con had been an event. I figure it started in the mid nineties somewhere, but as it turns out, it’s been around for a lot longer than that.

This rare photo gallery was taken at the event in 1980, and you can see just how humble it’s humble beginnings were. People still dressed up, but outside of a few Star Wars and superhero costumes, it almost looks like a renaissance fair. I’m sure that most of these people are trying to be specific characters, but I’ll be damned if I can place the vast majority of them.

In any case, it’s a rather hilarious look back at the past, and it’s fun to see how much cosplay and costuming has evolved over the last thirty years or so. See for yourself:

This Exists: Bugs Dressed Up as Jurassic Park Characters

What the…? I don’t even…? I’m very much struggling to understand what’s going on here.

Apparently there’s an Etsy user who is selling dead giant beetles fully dressed up in Jurassic Park clothing to look like various characters from the movie. It’s so WTF, that “WTF” doesn’t even cover the magnitude of how WTF it really is.

I guess seller Erin Pearce is just a really big fan of both beetles and Jurassic Park, and those two passions came together in the most unlikely of ways.

Check out the other characters if you dare below:

Wait, You Can Actually Translate Every Skyrim Dragon Word Wall?

Hold on a second. I know that Bethesda is known for having a serious amount of detail in their worlds, but this is a new level I never expected.

As you progress through the game, you learn various “shouts” from walls written in dragon language scattered around the world. I don’t know how many there are in total, but I’ll just say an “ass-ton” for now which sounds about right.

As it turns out, though you only learn one word on the wall, the entire thing can be translated from Dragon language into a sort of poem or epithet for each location. You have to be like a level 100 nerd to do this, but I suppose I’m at least a level 90 myself for getting this excited about it.

A giant list of translations are below for your viewing pleasure. Those ancient  Nords had a way with words it seems.

What a Nice Engageme…NINJA ATTACK!

Published by under Images,Oddly Enough

Ever since that zombie invaded that one engagement shoot, there has been a nonstop variety of attacks on young couples it seems. The latest foe lovebirds are facing is now the ninja, which is documented in this new photoshoot by Ken Pryde.

A woodland walk turns into a deadly ambush, and the fiance defends his fiancee’s honor (did I get those “e’s” right?) at all costs. How did it turn out? Was he able to draw upon the power of Tom Cruise’s white samurai and defeat him?

Check out the rest of the photos below and find out.
