Hasta La Gadget!

This painting of Daenerys Targaryen, the mother of dragons, is simply stunning. You just want to stare at it. This masterpiece was created by New York-based artist Sam Spratt, who usually develops art pieces for clients. Thank goodness he sorted out his priorities and shifted his attention to Game of Thrones.

Have you ever seen Daenerys looking so beautiful? Well, yeah, she’s always beautiful, but this painting is just amazing. You can check out a close-up below. Sam said he had a lot of fun painting all of that loose wispy hair.

It is a stunning piece of geek art. Take a moment to rest your internet-weary eyes and admire it before her dragons burn you to a crisp and fight over your carcass.

I’m not much for animation outside of Archer, so I am not too familiar with Vocaloid and its animated star Hatsune Miku. I am a fan of LEGO construction though, and the thought of building a life-sized recreation of an animated character is interesting.

That is exactly what LEGOmaniac Chaos Brick has done with the construction of a life-size Hatsune Miku. There is no indication of exactly how tall the LEGO build is, or how many bricks were used, but the character is supposed to be 5’2″ and presumably “life-sized” matches those dimensions.

The builder made everything from the characters green hair to her thigh high socks. The detail in the face is impressive and it looks like everything was made from LEGO. Check out the pictures to see the construction process.

Your father wanted you to have this. It is the true weapon of a Jedi knight. Well… not the true weapon, those are dangerous. This one is soft. You are just an infant after all. You have a long way to go before you can wield a real lightsaber, my tiny padawan. If you don’t stop drooling and pooping yourself you will never be ready. Here, just take this plush lightsaber.

Etsy seller meowadays makes these adorable plush yarn lightsabers to start training your younglings in the ways of the Force. Each one is 7.5″ tall and you can get them in blue, green or red – depending on which side of the Force you’re rooting for. They are only $25(USD).

May the Force be with you and your baby.

Here’s cosplayer Nona Neon with her badass Gipsy Danger costume. As you can see Nona adapted the hunky form of Pacific Rim’s lead mecha to suit her body. She made the suit out of EVA foam plus various household objects, including a strainer for the chest piece.

Nona said she based the EVA foam parts on papercraft templates posted by members of the prop maker community The 405th Infantry Division, modifying them as needed. She also made a replica of Gipsy Danger’s chain sword. It took her a total of six months, a lot of trial and error, and about $175 (USD) to finish the costume.

Link with your partner and pilot your browser to Nona’s Facebook page for more on her cosplay.

Look at these amazingly cute robots. Steve Talkowski made these robot images for an art challenge called March of Robots. They look like actual toys or models, but sadly they don’t exist in the real world.

They are all rendered in 3D, some with photographic backgrounds. They are amazing works of art. If he 3D printed these robots as toys, I would totally buy all of them. I’d be broke, but I would have some swell robot buddies.

You can see more of them at Talkowski’s Behance page. He should at least sell some prints. This is some sweet geek art. The man sure knows how to create some cool robots.
