Another drive-by blog! The long and short is that I have been zombified in the name of fun…and charity. If you have an iPhone you can now find me in Pocket Zombie where I am currently part of the Zombie Girlfriend Charity Pack. You can get all of the details below, which I regurgitated from my post on gameinformer.com for lack of time! If you get the game let me know what you think!
New Gift Art By BurningInkWorks!
I just wanted to post a super quick update to share a cool new piece of gift art based on my Wonder Woman tribute to Michael Turner. The most amazing thing about this new piece is that it is all burned into wood. The illustration is done by a method known as Pyrography. I’ve pasted his description of the process below.
Custom Vinyl: Silent Hill Staples
I’ve been on a bit of a Silent Hill kick the past few weeks and these little guys are the reason why. After creating my first custom Munny figures a few weeks back, I began feverishly debating what I should take on next. I almost instantly had my mind made up to pay tribute to BioShock with a Big Daddy and Big Sister duo, but got sidetracked by the thought of bringing to life two of Silent Hill’s most iconic monstrosities – Pyramid Head and a Nurse. Trapping myself into finishing these guys this week, I preemptively tied my CosBlog entry on Wednesday to Silent Hill. If you haven’t checked it out yet, do so here!
Cosplay Feature: Left 4 Dead
Minnesota is known for many things, one of them being the annual Zombie Pub Crawl. I don’t know of other such gatherings across the nation, so I’m going to go ahead and make a totally unverified/bias claim and say that ours is the best Zombie Pub Crawl in the world. Especially because they allow zombie hunters to join in on the fun.
Cosplay Feature: Bearers Of The Blade
I’m somehow playing catch-up again, still archiving costumes from SDCC 2009. But better later than never! This costume/project was as much fun as it was work – heaps of both. Considering I had already figured out the mechanics of crafting a Witchblade gauntlet from my prior two costumes, the execution itself wasn’t overly strenuous. It was the organization that got a tad overwhelming.

Zatanna Pinup by Adriana Melo
I tend to cosplay characters I have an interest in, meaning I will spend full evenings browsing through galleries of my favorite heroines on Deviant Art. A few weeks ago I was catching up on the new Zatanna tributes and was blown away to find a new piece that had more than a slight resemblance to yours truly. When checking through my notes and comments later that night, I realized that a few friends had already given me a heads that the amazingly talented artist Adriana Melo used my mug as reference for a stunning pinup.
EA and VTree Bring Football Back To Disabled Gamers
Another fun article up on GameInformer.com with accessibility in mind! Read on to learn about how VTree Inc. is working to bring football back to gamers with a variety of disabilities.
The Co-op Condition
This feature was my first major piece for the magazine since our redesign back in October. And it took quite some time to put together. Being a major fan of cooperative play I always get irked when co-op titles are lacking major elements such as split screen or are full of bugs such as interface problems. So I decided to conduct a poll (over 8000 readers responded) to prove that there are still legions of us out there that want to park it on the couch with a friend and play.
Borg Queen’s Lament – I’ve Been Assimilated
“We are Borg. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”
Just a quick note to share a new piece of art that used my mug for reference! I’ve always been a fan of Star Trek (TNG primarily) and so when a talented artist on Deviant Art asked if he could turn me into a Borg queen I gladly accepted. The piece turned out awesome.
