The success of The Walt Disney Company’s 1937 feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs influenced Japanese animators. In the 1960s, manga artist and animator Osamu Tezuka [credited with meing the godfather of anime] adapted and simplified many Disney animation-techniques to reduce costs and to limit the number of frames in productions. He intended this as a temporary measure to allow him to produce material on a tight schedule with inexperienced animation-staff.
Thanks to the artist Manon Yapari, the circle is complete.

Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malleyretweeted these custom statues of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers with Scott hiding in her purse, (Remember? In that one part from the comix when that thing happened? Fun times.) made by Ollie_jones.
I’m totally and completely one hundred fucking percent ready for the onslaught of Scott Pilgrim promo junk that’s most likely about to drop with the release of the movie in August. Bring it on me!
This Pokémon fanart from Tomioka Nirou does a great job at playing with the world of a video game rather than just drawing famous characters. In this piece, a bored trainer can be seen riding on top of a Metagross and using it’s powers to blast other motorists off the road. There’s a lot of awesome subtleties going on like the trainer on the bottom right with a few Pokéballs in their belt, the kid in the van with a Pikachu on his head, and Magneton being used as a power source for the bored trainer. This sort of thing makes my imagination wander far more than run-of-the-mill character-based fanart.
I highly recommend checking out the hi-res version here.
Someone drew Pokémon from the old Red/Blue and Gold/Silver games as if they were demons from old Japanese scrolls. Come to think of it, a Pokémon game set in feudal Japan would be pretty sweet.
Video game cover band Arm Cannon wins the Albotas.com “Amp of the Century” award. This is actually the first nerdily customized guitar amp I think I’ve ever seen. Gotta’ hunt the internet for more.
Well, Vilsy from Geek Mythology Crafts left a comment saying:
“Thanks a ton for featuring our L4D survivors! JJ actually did make the special infected zombies, but we haven’t put them up for sale (yet!). You can check them out at our DeviantArt or Flickr sites though if you like! Sadly the Hunter ran away before we could photograph him. Next time, you duct taped devil, next time!
These 8″ Left 4 Dead beaded sprites are $15 each, but you can save $10 by snagging the whole set for $50 from Geek Mythology Crafts. Hopefully they do a set of zombies to go along with these.
Matthew Borghatti (aka “M@”) created this awesome BioShock belt buckle and the whole process is documented over at Technabob.
While a significant amount of skill obviously went in to making this, and the end result is astounding, it probably would have been cooler as a standalone piece like a magnet or something. I don’t think M@ will be impressing any members of the opposite sex with that thing at all.
