Dig Out Those Old 3D Specs, It's Frazetta In 3D!

Deviant Artist Mark Ramsey has converted a few classic Frank Frazetta paintings to old school stereoscopic 3D. If ever you wanted a painting to pop out at you, for me it's got to be a Frazetta painting!

Check out a few of them below, and check out Mark's gallery where there are more 3D images to enjoy!

'Doc Savage: The Man Of Bronze' Coming To Dynamite Comics In December

Dynamite Comics seems to be the home of pulp heroes these days (The Shadow, Warlord Of Mars) and now, as announced at the Baltimore Comic Con, Dynamite Entertainment has signed a new licensing deal with Condé Nast, and is publishing a new series of 'Doc Savage: The Man Of Bronze' comics in December. Chris Roberson will be on writing duties, with art from Bilquis Evely and the covers from Alex Ross (which definitely look to be in the tradition of the classic James Bama covers).

Check out the interview on CBR with Roberson and the cover art by Alex Ross below.

Cool Art: Glen Brogan's Art For Bottleneck Gallery's '3NES' Show

Here are Glen Brogan's pieces for Bottleneck Gallery's '3NES' art show which opens tonight in Brooklyn, New York. Each participating artist created work based on Nintendo classics 'Super Mario Bros', 'The Legend of Zelda', and 'Metroid'.
"My thoughts going into these pieces were that I wanted to stick closely to the original NES games, as opposed to branching out into subsequent games, and I wanted to base them around the female characters in each game. I also knew that I wanted to do some action scenes (which I haven't done recently,) and lately I've had an itch to draw a gnarly monster, so drawing Ganon was able to take care of that for me."
The show runs from September 6 until September 22 and each person who attends the show will also have a chance at winning a Nintendo Home Entertainment System along with games from each title. They will have a couple consoles up so you can relive some of those childhood memories on the opening night!

Any artwork left over from the preview will go online Saturday, September 7th at 12pm EST.

Cool Art: 'Batman vs Superman' by Doaly

'Batman vs Superman' by Doaly.
“For this print I wanted to create a piece that you could hang either way round and change as you argue with friends who would win in a fight Batman or Superman. The piece contrasts the two heroes against Gotham and Metropolis as well as hinting on their personalities being night and day apart.”

Short Animated Film: 'Un Conte' by Guillaume Arantes

This animated short was a graduation film made by Guillaume Arantes, a 3rd year student at Gobelins, a school of applied arts, print and digital media in France, whose philosophy is to support the freedom of their students to express their creativity.

'Un Conte' is a story, that although beautifully animated, is ultimately tragic and passes an important message against domestic violence.

'Oblivion' Concept Art by Andree Wallin and Thom Tenery

Now that 'Oblivion' is out on bluray/DVD (one of my favourite films of the year so far), two concept artists that worked on the film, Andree Wallin and Thom Tenery, have posted some of the gorgeous concept art on their websites.

The art features some of the luscious landscapes and interiors. It's just a shame that there was never an art book released for the film, unless I've missed it, definitely an oversight considering how good this film looks. I'll have to make to with these images instead.

Andree Wallin has also announced on his facebook page that he will be working on the new Star Wars films. If his art for 'Oblivion' is anything to go by, that will be something to look forward to seeing!!

Check out a selection of the 'Oblivion' concept art below (can't recommend it enough that you'll want to embiggen these beauties!), and visit Andree Wallin's and Thom Tenery's websites for more. And check out Kai Lim's original pre-viz for the original pitch too. Awesome art!
