200 Gaming Characters as Mega Man Sprites →

So in the past I’ve linked this artist’s work, specifically the Space Invaders project, only I didn’t realize at the time that someone had taken the original video and replaced the audio track with the electronic sound effects from the actual game.

The original video features a human-created soundtrack. It’s definitely a different effect and I can’t actually decide what I prefer better.

At any rate, here’s Pac-Man. Apparently Guillaume has also done Tetris, Pong, and Pole Position, too.

This is fantastic, I love every detail.

It’s not much in terms of an actual personality test, since I don’t think it’s fair to ask someone to judge themselves as emotional vs rational… etc. But I thought the language was really amazing.

I got “Archer Hairline”, for what it’s worth. :x

Yay for non-standard personality quizzes!

AwwwWWWwwWWww.

More where that came from: Baby Animals.

I think I’ve linked these before, but it’s a new log, so whatever! I adore these watercolors of Shadow of the Colossus.

I really like this one. It … speaks to me. >_>

From a Swedish photographer named Erik Johansson.

… daayaammn.

I’m not enough of an art history geek to truly appreciate this, but I thought I would link it for those who are. At least I recognize a few of them…

Duchamp owns everything. ::lolol::

Courtesy of Alex. He calls it “twelve minutes of uninterrupted beauty”… I’m inclined to agree.

This is not for those of you who have little to no patience or appreciation for architectural magnificence, because that’s all this is about. No story or gimmicks, just complete and total glorious visual aesthetic. It’s things like that make me feel like I’d have enjoyed architectural design.

The clincher is that the whole damn movie is CG. Well, mostly. There’s a compositing breakdown video that you can gawk at too.

By the way, “the third and the seventh” apparently refers to the third and the seventh arts, according to one of the video’s comments. That is, out of the following ordered list, the video is about the third and the seventh items: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture, Literature, Music, Dance, Cinematography.

I couldn’t find a reference to this online (the seven arts according to who?), so I guess we’ll just have to take that dude’s word for it. >_> If nothing else, there’s the shot at 0:26 of a backward page of text, that when you flip horizontally, it reads like this.
