The Horror Of Steampunk Fart Suits
Dmitry Klyushkin is a Russian artist who works at the Saint Petersburg branch of Saber, the developers behind Inversion and TimeShift. I love how he’s able to switch between gritty, complicated stuff (like his Cryptids work) and a colourful cartoon style so effortlessly. You can see more of Dmitry’s work at his Facebook page and…

Erotic Adventures In Star Wars Cosplay

Cheeseburger Pop-Tarts May Contain Dark Magic
Self-professed ‘burger pervert’ Matthew Ramsey of the completely evil PornBurger has fashioned meat, cheese, bacon jam and sesame seed pastry into what he is calling “I Can Haz Pop Tart.” I will not be convinced the dark arts weren’t involved. Judging by the perceived flakiness of the crust, this mashed beef creation more closely resembles…

The conclusion of three years of work, this is FamilyJules7x taking us on one hell of a musical journey, as he thrashes out metal versions of the theme songs to most of gaming’s greatest games.
