ConceptArt

Movies: If you thought the 2005 Fantastic Four film was a departure from its Marvel Comics source material, wait until you see the unused concept art for Dr. Doom and the Thing by Constantine Sekeris. Art Shows: "Lazer Lips and Glass Helmets", an art show featuring nearly 20 new retro-futuristic pieces of artwork by Ming Doyle and Toby Cypress, will kick off a 7 p...

I'm on record as being a guy who kind of hates Batman Returns, but if there's one thing I genuinely love about that movie, it's that a significant portion of the plot revolves around an army of actual penguins with rockets strapped to their backs...

Marvel Comics has its share of "architects," but come next year, fans with gaming consoles will be able to take on shuffling around the "building blocks" of their favorite universe on their own (after a fashion) in the new Lego Marvel Super Heroes video game...

Despite all the carnage that the reptile alter ego of Doctor Curtis Connors got up to in last summer's The Amazing Spider-Man movie, things could have been worse: At least a tour bus wasn't trashed in the midst of the Lizard carnage, as was the original plan...

Video: Stan Lee reads "A Visit from St. Nicholas" like a true believer... in Santa. Proposals: Eddie Zarick shows off his arc reactor proposal prop. How could any body turn down a ring stored in this thing? Toys: DJango Unchained is getting a lovingly MEGO-like 8" toy line from NECA...

If the fourth live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie -- which would have potentially been subtitled either "The Next Mutation" or, apparently, "The Foot Walks Again" -- had gone ahead, the world could have met Evil April, Super Shredder and a fifth Turtle named after Jack Kirby...

If the costumes worn by the merry mutants of X-Men: First Class weren't appropriately Jack Kirby X-Men-esque for you, then perhaps this look at concept art for the movie by Matthew Savage might make you feel even more wistful for what could have been, offering alternate looks for Beast, Havok and Mystique in addition to some interior designs from throughout the movie...

Even more concept art for the seemingly-dead live-action remake of Tatsuhiro Otomo's Akira has emerged online, with artist Rodolfo Dimaggio and Sylvain Despretz doing their best on an impossible gig. The new art follows two previous reveals of storyboard art from the project with three CGI cityscapes that give a sneak peak at what Neo Tokyo could have looked like had director Albert Hughes stayed

Fantasy costume design is a tough gig. High fantasy still has its bland medieval trappings (even if Game of Thrones does a beautiful job with its costume design), steampunk can be tricky to assemble into more than a stew of corsets and gears, and sometimes anime-flavored biopunk can turn even the most minor character into a mess of hair and spikes...

While various creators have been recasting Snow White as amnesiac grade school teacher or Kristen Stewart in shining armor, Ashley Stoddard had already sent the story off to Egypt, where the evil queen carries a cobra and the dwarfs are replaced with Hittites...
