"I wanted to do a realistic re-imagining of the Ice King," writes DeviantArt's chasestone, "while staying true enough to the character that you can still imagine him with Tom Kenny's voice." Well, he succeeded. He should do the rest of the Adventure Time cast, too. Head over here for more of his work.
I firmly believe that having more Adventure Time around is a good thing. So what do I think of this Chinese short that looks a hell of a lot like Adventure Time? Well, that it's pretty damn cool.
A great story has lots of layers, and a rich backstory. When you only see part of the picture, you might reach a snap judgment about what's going on — but then you see events from years ago, that make you rethink everything. Here are 10 flashbacks that turn your understanding of a story upside-down.

Imagine, for a moment, that characters like Finn or Marceline had to pick a Pokémon team. What creatures would you match them up with?

Or rather it was, just not the Gamergate concerned with video games. Remember kids, gamergate is also a type of ant.
CGI Simpsons? Anime Simpsons? Despicable Me Simpsons? As much as I enjoy the originals, last night's Treehouse of Horror episode left me yearning for these alternate reality versions of America's first family.
I will not cry over a Gritty Reboot of Adventure Time. I will not cry over a Gritty Reboot of Adventure Time. I will not... dammit.

Adam Muto is one of the artists who has worked on animated series Adventure Time. While that's a show that's as famous for its colour palette as it is some incredible voice acting, today we're going to take a look at where much of the show starts: the storyboards.
Manly is a new cartoon from brothers Jesse and Justin Moynihan, who also do some work on Adventure Time. Among many other freaky things, it features a chilling reminder of why I will never, ever use a teleporter.

What time is it? If you said, "Comic-Con," you'd be technically correct, but also missing my reference entirely. Good job, reference misser. The convention's firing news on all cylinders, though, including a new Adventure Time game that wears its Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past influences on its sleeve.

Artist Joe Hogan and Mike Vasquez's crossover series are the best example that Adventure Time and its style is just perfect for mash-ups. Their latest piece has really serious and funny-looking Game of Thrones characters.

Artist SHARK-E goes where Ubisoft could only dream.
If a TV show nowadays doesn't have at least one big twist now and then, chances are it doesn't remain on the air for long. But only a handful of TV series have the courage to completely transform themselves — to show something so crazy, it irrevocably redefines the show from that point on. We've been lucky to have…

This Thursday, Cartoon Network is hosting an open beta test for its upcoming browser-based MOBA, Adventure Time Battle Party. Since this is the first time I'd heard of the game, I thought they might need some help spreading the word.

While Finn, Jake and friends showed up as 3D card battlers in Adventure Time: Card Wars, the rest of their games (browser-based not included!) have been confined to two dimensions. The upcoming Adventure Time: Time Tangle gives the Land of Ooo some much-needed depth. Want to see?

DeviantART illustrator Tohad just can't stop. He has to go through the 80s and the 90s (and our childhood), brutally altering every single character, whether it's from a cartoon, a video game or a comic book.
