Part of a planned trilogy from the Huayi brothers (who were behind Kung-Fu Hustle), Tai Chi 0 is directed by Stephen Fung with action choreographed by Sammo Hung. It’s got steampunk creations, wire-fu, and all sorts badassery in this first trailer. A release is tentatively slated for early 2013.

Artwork from the Star Wars Essential Guide to Warfare by Darren Tan

This is one of my favorite pieces from the Galactic Civil War era. This battle, which took place after the destruction of the first Death Star but before the events of Empire Strikes Back, was an elaborate ambush set by Vader and the Empire to destroy the Alliance leadership along with its fleet. Under overwhelming odds the Rebels would’ve fled to a designated location where they would regroup, but had they done that they would have found another Imperial fleet waiting for them. The fleet instead dispersed and made random jumps to avoid being completely annihilated. The Alliance almost lost the entire fleet from this battle but enough survived to carry on the fight and eventually make a comeback at the Battle of Endor.

This battle is recounted in the Star War comic “Rebellion: My Brother, My Enemy”.

street fighter 2 realistic redesign - Guile by spinebender

by Filip “SpineBender” Acovic

I’ll attempt to do a series of semi-realistic portraits of the original 12 Street Fighter II characters. I’m going to redesign their look, but I’ll try to remain true to what defines them. The goal is to make them look like real street fighters or something that could work in a movie.

I’ll add more to this post as they are finished.

Good Books “Metamorphosis” from Antfood on Vimeo.

We dug through the darkest recesses of our minds and studio to create original music and sound design for this Buck masterpiece. Working with squirming, analog-tape leeches, moaning coeds, screaming guitar goats, and brain-exploding psychedelia, we were certainly in our element. Plus, it’s always fun to rock out and get a little weird for a good cause!

Good Books, an online bookseller, passes all of its profits through to Oxfam. Our hats go off to Buck and String Theory.

Enjoy the trip!
