New alt superheroine cosplay pics, the first part of a series, featuring Kat in a set inspired by Peter Chung’s beyond brilliant Aeon Flux. If you’ve never watched the original serials, or the longer-form episodes, they’re all available for free viewing on MTV.com. It’s my all-time favorite animated series, manages to encompass pretty much the entire spectrum of fetishes while waxing deeply philosophical, and i can’t recommend it highly enough.

Have had some requests from people wanting to donate to the site, with the Post-Human Pin-Up project now closed. Really appreciate that, and figured out a way to do it that will help keep this stuff going: set up an amazon wishlist here…just polaroid film, and amazon gift cards that will go towards a Macbook (never owned a Mac, but keep getting told how much better they are for editing video, so hope to try that at some point.) Buy anything on that wishlist, and you’ll get the same pdf ebooks, and access to bonus sets and videos, that Rockethub backers got/will get.

More pics post jump, and while i really do like these, they pale in comparison to this.

Really late on updates here, sorry…was thinking long and hard about taking the Rockethub monies, renouncing my citizenship, and moving to Singapore. That, or my laptop’s hard drive died, there were a couple graduations i had to go to over the weekend, and Diablo 3. Either way, 2 new sets featuring Kat and Marnie are up now in the bonus section (if you already have the link/password, it’s still the same.)

Emails going out now to everyone who backed the Post-Human Pin-Up project on Rockethub…if you don’t have something from me by tonight, do feel free to yell at me.

During the brief sleep i got after getting home at 4am thursday from Avengers, had a dream where i’d coordinated with one of the local comic stores to have girls in costume for photo-ops on Free Comic Book Day, in exchange for signs/qr codes promoting the Post-Human Pin-Up project on Rockethub.com. There were balloons, media coverage, children getting pictures taken hugging inappropriately attired superheroines: it was glorious…and then woke back to stark. bitter reality where i’m nowhere near focused or motivated enough to actually do something like that. Fun while it lasted, though.

Big THANK YOU to everyone who’s backed this project, so far. As we’ve surpassed the original target, wanted to update a couple things:

So saddened to hear that Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys has passed: amazing musician, champion for Tibet, and Body Movin’ is on the very, very short list for best music video ever shot.

Godspeed, sir.

New superheroine cosplay pics featuring part one of a new set with Jessica dressed up as alien girl Arisia Rrab of DC’s Green Lantern Corps. Again? Yes, again. I’m compelled to keep dressing her up like this. Don’t judge me.

I was trying to finish editing a Black Widow video, but ran out of time…i’ll save that for a compilation that will go out to Rockethub backers (will write a new post on that as soon as this one is up.) So, instead, you get Green Lantern cosplay on Avengers day.

Very much aware that some of these are a bit dodgy, as i was using someone else’s camera that cost as much as a very respectable used car, which is intimidating, and i really had no fucking idea how to use it (still trying to learn how to use my exponentially cheaper Rebel t2i)…but liked some of them, so here you go.

Click through for more images. Or don’t, if you’re under 18, or no like nudity. In which case, don’t click here, either. Alan Moore might get angry.

The 3rd and final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises just debuted online. I am at a loss to express just how staggeringly dope it is…if Stanley Kubrick rose from the dead, i can’t imagine he’d be able turn out something this full of promise, awe, and mystery.

I’m going to see this fucking movie a good 4 or 5 times over just the first weekend.

New alt cosplay pics, this set featuring the debut of Lyra as some kind of Shadow Ninja Assassin, or something. I don’t know. Whatever, love that latex kimono, reminds me of Talia’s League of Assassins girls in Arkham City/Psylocke/Kristin Kreuk’s Chun Li, and i like how some of these turned out.

*edit* JESUS CHRIST…IT WAS A JOKE. I made a reference here to a very stupid comment by an ex-white house staffer calling all libertarians racist. Was attempting to mock that, while making note of the site finally getting its first model of color, and apparently i did it wrong. IN NO WAY was i suggesting libertarians are racist (the smartest professor i ever had was libertarian, and a big influence on me…he had much bigger things on his mind than arbitrary hate based on melanin content.) Nor was i attempting to belittle actual racism, or out myself as a klan member. It was an attempt at humor, didn’t know anyone actually read this nonsense, sorry, please stop emailing about it.*/edit*

A massive THANK YOU to everyone who backed the Post-Human Pin-Up cosplay project on Rockethub. Passed its target within the first 3 days of going live, and still has 9 days to go, if anyone else wants in. And if the prospect of seeing Lyra airbrushed head to toe blue,with a head full of tentacles does anything for you, then you might consider supporting it.

More pics post jump…

I have a new crowdsourcing project, Post-Human Pin-Up (vol. 1), up live now on Rockethub.com…which is like Kickstarter, but better. It’s for a new ebook of themed concept shoots, first in a potential series, initial focus being Misfits/Mutants/Mecha.

Why back it?: Without giving away specifics, we’re hoping to do more (and more elaborate) bodypaint, more ambitious images, and if the project hits it’s fundraising goal over the next 2 weeks, everyone who backs it at any level also gets the new & radically improved Cosplay Tetherball ebook. So if you missed that while it was available here, this would be your last chance to get it digitally.

We actually learned a ton from Tetherball, have this project better planned out, and can get Post-Human Pin-Up completed and emailed out much faster. And should it actually exceed the fundraising target, we’ll definitely be adding additional downloadable rewards.

With 2 weeks to go until the debut of the new, final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, i’ve been re-watching this excellent fan-made music video with some of the gunfights from Kurt Wimmer’s beyond brilliant Equilibrium, edited to Filter / The Crystal Method’s Trip Like I Do. This is the movie believed to be largely responsible for Christian Bale landing the Batman role, and God i hope Nolan lets him put those unstoppable Gun Kata master skills on display at least once, before he hangs up the cape and cowl for good.

Big spoilers in that video, if you’ve never seen Equilibrium…and if you haven’t, really?! It’s been 10 years, and it’s one of the ten best movies ever shot. Do yourself a favor, and make the time for it.

That’s a shot from the game trailer for Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year edition, out May 29th. In addition to coming bundled with the Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing dlc, and all the Batman skins, it also includes a brand new post script to the game entitled Harley Quinn’s Revenge, featuring the presumably pregnant Harley with a sweet (and appropriate, as she’s in mourning) black dye job.

Harley with black hair?!?! That’s so avant-garde!! How do they come up with this stuff?!? I wish i…oh, wait. We shot this back in June?

K. Fingers crossed this doesn’t mean ze man is onto my little uber-underground art project. Whatever, i’m buying the game again as soon as this is out, as i’m dying to see if they do anything further with that Joker/Harley Easter Egg. Also, it provides an excuse to play the whole thing again from the beginning.
