X-Ray Illustrations: Cartoon Characters Exposed

Unless you’re an invertebrate, you probably have a skeleton. But even though we all have these bony structures holding us together, we still find skeletons kind of creepy. French artist Chris Panda seems to have an obsession with skeletons, having created a series of illustrations which let us see the bones of cartoon, video game, and pop culture icons.

The image of Sylvester with Tweety Bird in his stomach is pretty amusing, and Batman looks quite majestic, but Ariel’s skeleton put me in the mood to eat fish for dinner tonight. Is that wrong?

The series of images includes everyone from The Legend of Zelda’s Link, to Fionna and Cake from Adventure Time to Popeye. But the most disturbing image of all has to be this one of Miley Cyrus twerking with Beetlejuice. That’s even harder to look at than the original – now that’s an accomplishment.

Cat Candles Reveal Gory Skeleton Insides as They Melt

Aww, look at the cute little kitty candles… Now light them up and enjoy their warming glow.

Now watch in horror as their tiny insides are slowly revealed…

These nightmare-inducing candles, titled The Devil’s Pet were conceptualized by Icelandic artist Thorunn Arnadottir using a tiny aluminum skeleton inside of a wax casting.

Sweet little kittens are transformed in a fire. Crawling from the ashes come forth grinning metallic devils with sharp claws and fire blazing in their eyes.

Now that’s quite a visual.

Due to popular demand, Thorunn plans on producing these candles via a Kickstarter campaign in the near future. If you’re interested in grabbing some once they’re available, hit this link to sign up for the artist’s newsletter. It’s too bad they won’t be ready for Halloween. Oh well, there’s always next year.

Skull-faced Biker Helmet Turns You into Ghost Rider

Want to look like a tough guy on your bike? Maybe like Skeletor? Or better yet, Ghost Rider? Looking dead always makes you look tougher. Because if you are dead, but still riding a bike, well, that’s pretty badass.

This undead/dead biker wearing a skull helmet was spotted at the 5th annual Harley Davidson National Rally in Qian Dao Lake, China. The only thing stopping him from becoming Ghost Rider is a pact with the devil and some lit gasoline.

When you are dead you don’t really care how many flies go into your mouth. You probably don’t care about going 200 mph either or leaving a bunch of crashed vehicles in your wake. Yeah, it’s pretty badass being a dead biker from hell.

Life-Size Crocheted Skeleton with Organs: Undead Sackboy

We’ve seen a variety of awesome crocheted items, mostly hats and amigurimi based on fictional characters. But artist Shanell Papp is more interested in real human beings. More specifically, what’s inside of us. Back in 2006, Papp crocheted LAB, a life-size skeleton with organs.

In an interview with Order of the Good Death, Papp mentioned a variety of reasons why she made LAB. She says that she’s into “death, medicine and horror”, and growing up was very curious about what our insides are like and what each part does. Aside from looking at anatomical textbooks, Papp actually borrowed a human skeleton to use as a reference when she was making LAB. All in all it took her 8 months to finish her work.

He’s ready for CSI: LittleBigPlanet. I highly suggest you check out the full interview on the Order of the Good Death. Papp has more pictures of LAB on her blog.

Alien Facehugger Skeleton Made from Real Bones

As if the facehugger from Alien wasn’t creepy enough, one artist has decided to go out and make himself a Facehugger skeleton. But this thing isn’t just a sculpture, it’s made from actual animal bones.

Artist Tim Prince of Forgotten Boneyard created this Alien-inspired piece entitled Parasitoid using the bones of a box turtle, mink, wild turkey, coyote, skunk and a mouse. Eeesh. From all of the different genetic material this thing has assimilated, you might say it was equally inspired by The Thing.

If you’re into freaking people out, you can put this creeptastic thing in your home for $1000(USD). Me? I’d rather sleep at night and not worry about this thing jamming its proboscis down my throat so it can implant an alien embryo in my stomach.

Leaked images point to waterproof ‘skeleton’ structure, HDR video for Sony Xperia Z

Leak Sony Xperia Z to have waterproof 'skeleton' structure, HDR photos and video

With all the recent leaks of Sony’s upcoming 5-inch Xperia Z, it’s a good thing the smartphone will have a water resistant body, according to the latest one. The formidable device will also sport HDR photo / video capturing capabilities, a “skeleton frame structure” for durability and a so-called Full-HD reality display, according to a fresh leak from Chinese retailer E-price and micro-blogger Weibo. Those go along with specs that Sony inadvertently revealed on its own site a few days ago, including a 1080P display, quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2GB RAM, 13MP Exmor RS-equipped rear cam and Adreno 320 graphics. While these latest tidbits ought to be digested with the requisite NaCl, they jibe with the other specs floating around — so, hopefully Sony will have something to report when it outs the camera for real at CES on January 7th.

Guns Made from Animal Bones: Shoot to (Road)kill

As art, these guns made from the bones of dead animals, is pretty awesome. Still, it’s a bit too creepy for my gun-wielding needs. These guns are a lot like checking out a hot Goth chick. They are morbidly beautiful and I can’t help but stare, nevertheless, I don’t want to be around most of them.

These unusual gun replicas are made from the bones of a variety of woodland animals by Bruce Mahalski. No, they don’t fire bone ammunition and they aren’t for killing demons. As far as I know anyway. The bones are attached to toy guns to give them their structure.

You’ll find parts of ferret’s, cat vertebrae and more on these guns. I don’t even wanna know where he gets his supplies. Maybe he knows somebody in the roadkill cleanup business. Say, wasn’t that on an episode of Dexter?
