Star Wars x Aliens by Robert Shane

I have posted tons of Star Wars themed art here on CCD over the past few years, and I have even posted a few pieces of Star Wars x Aliens mashup creations (click here and here). While those pieces were obviously good enough to be posted on CCD (I truly commend all the artists featured here... that means I think your shit is dope!), they pale in comparison to the extremely detailed and insanely constructed pieces that have been put together by artist Robert Shane. The thing I love about Shane's Star Wars x Aliens mashups is that he plays up the fact that the aliens are pure evil incarnate, and would fight the hell out of any inhabitant of Star Wars galaxy, especially the Sith. I also love the Walking Dead/Michonne homage in the Boba Fett piece... notice that there is a Queen alien on one of those chains!!!! Sick ass paintings, brought to our attention by the one and only Joe Fletch. Check out the pieces after the jump...

Nicky Barkla Adds Some Color To Some Of The Most Recognizable Characters Of Fiction

Fan art is one of the most popular things we feature here on CCD. I think it is the familiarity of the characters that attracts people to these pieces. But every once and a blue I come across someone who takes those familiar characters and tosses them on their ear, recreating them in a way that inspires awe despite the fact that we have known these characters for years.  Australian artist Nicky Barkla does just that with her over-sized rainbow painted character portraits, and they are fantastic. The swirls of colors are hypnotizing, yet they do not take away from the recognizable features that each piece possess. Plus she is a bit of a hottie herself  (check out her self portraits....ming!!!).  You can click here to see all of her work, and you can click after the jump to see my faves...

Happy Star Wars Day... Just Don't Invite These Guys To The Party!!!

This is epic... and very fitting on Star Wars day! Check out artist Paolo Cagampan's take on the Sith Lords of Star Wars. I like focusing on the bad guys because wthout them there is no need for the heroes. Happy Star Wars day to everyone out there!
