I usually post a link to a primary website that hosts the artist’s work, but Kikariz, whomever he or she might be, has deactivated his or her Deviantart.com account.  So all I can say is thanks, Kikariz, wherever you might be, for this lovely image.

From the Artist:

“The grell levitates through the dank corridors of the dungeon hoping to paralyze its prey with the poisonous spines on its ten tentacles. Its powerful beak can crack open its victim’s skull so that it may feast on brains.”

Looks like the grell already is a brain.  You are what you eat, right?

This image is part of a series called Dungeon Degenerates–see the full set here.

See the making-of post here.

Jean Marc Labal is a professional 3D artist with a stunning portfolio, and you can see more of his work here.

Comatules or “feather stars” are a type of echinoderm related to starfish.

This movie scared the bejesus out of me when I was ten, and I just re-watched it.  To summarize:

The Master summons a Crack Team of hardened Space Veterans and one Newbie to find the Team That Went Missing Out In Space.  The Crack Team never finds the Team That Went Missing… that whole plot line gets dropped like a hot potato.  No surprise when the Newbie Dies First.  The Crack Team are all destroyed by their own Worst Fears made flesh via some unexplained Worst Fears Made Flesh Device.  Everybody dies, except for the guy with the Power Mustache, who must face off with zombie versions of all his own dead comrades.  In the end, Power Mustache defeats his undead crew and all three color schemes and himself becomes The Master.

The screenshot features the actress who played Joanie from Happy Days mere moments before her skull gets crushed into a bloody pulp by tentacles.

The movie is called Galaxy of Terror, a Roger Corman flick you’ve never heard of, even though the budget was $700,000–and that’s 1981 dollars folks.  Today, that amount is like a trillion dollars, or something.  This flick is not quite worthy of a Golden Turd award, but tantalizingly close.

This is my 100th post!  Yaaaaay!

This oogey gem was designed for The War of the Worlds remake that I personally can’t ever watch because I freaking hate hate hate Tom Cruise, but I believe this particular render wasn’t used in the final film anyway, so here it is.  You’re welcome.

From the Artist:  “The topic was female robot.  The piece took about an hour.”

I was thinking “Marilyn Manson enters The Matrix” but that’s just me.

“ A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. ”
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

So quoth the artist.  I’d hate to judge a contest between H.R. Giger and Almanegra, but I’m tempted to say that the difference is in the dosage.  Three sheets, indeed.

Either this image is just a touch on the naughty side, or this SX-model robot is the new standard for simultaneous proctology and gyno exams.  Either way, NSFW.

Or, the SX is a actually a maintenance droid for fembots… and now we know where fembots get their batteries charged.

Except for the cauldron, you can totally buy all these featured props at Hot Topic.

If you like pinups, Matt Dixon is the king of pinups.  No, the word “king” is too weak.  He’s the Grand Poo Bah of pinups.  The Divine Lord Emperor… The POPE.  Yeah, that’s it.  He’s the POPE OF PINUPS.  It’s his thing.  And his pinups span the spectrum from cheeky to badass–and always colorful.

Poor lil’ Fluffy…

Weeeeeeeeeeell, at least she stopped clawing up the couch, eh?

These are two illustration pieces of World of Warcraft character Queen Azshara, rendered as very big and very impressive by the talented illustrator Arteche.

In her description of the second work pictured, she says, “Full view, or I’m going to sleep with your closest and dearest relative.”  She’s serious too.

Arteche’s Deviant Art profile page has the following entries:

Interests: Evil things, ambiguously bad things, not-so-good things, and bawnking your mother.

Skin of choice: The kind you make out of LA hookers and fishing line.

Favourite cartoon character: Can we animate Anthony Hopkins?

Anyway, I’d do what she says.  You don’t want to get shanked, do you?  But I get the impression that Arteche would go one further, stretching your entrails across a piece of canvas with safety pins and harvesting your organs on the black market.  At least we can enjoy her talented tentacle paintings before she comes to claim some gory prize from our quivering flesh…
