Re: Alternate history imagery

Very cool. I especially like the fourth one from the top. It and the last one seem the most like actual pin-ups girl images.

This is what the artist Glen Angus says about them:
"I have always been fascinated by the pin up art on WW2 bombers. How they inspired the pilots and the sense of style that they had retained even to this day. I wanted to show the materializing of these images into a sort of protective totem-like spirit..."

Maybe too some people a bit too "fantastic-inspired" but I just find them awesome :-)

What a brilliant concept - and the basis for a superb alternative history setting for a novel...


the trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be

Re: Alternate history imagery

Ah yes, I think it's been linked before. At least, I downloaded it a while ago. There's some great stuff in there!

I'm sure there must be a BioShock thread around here somewhere BTW.

Re: Alternate history imagery

Being a big fan of the GI Joe line from the 80s (was a collector till some years but kept only about 20 mint-toys nowadays) and also a fanatic comic reade, I just have to show you this. A shame I hadn't thought of this earlier wink

The "G.I. Joe vs. Transformers Dreamwave" mini-series:

This series took place in its own continuity set in World War II. The Transformers and GI Joe's all had completely different which were appropriate to the 1940's:
Here, Cobra had discovered and awakened the Decepticons, reformatting their vehicle modes into 1940s era war vehicles and weapons. The two evil forces conquered much of Europe in an alternate version of World War II. G.I. Joe, here a group of American infantry men, find the Autobots who aid them in stopping both Cobra and the Decepticons.

Re: Alternate history imagery

That sounds brilliant! I'll have to see if I can track it down; maybe one of my collector friends has the series.

Re: Alternate history imagery

Here's another one by Dan Blomberg from the CG Forums page (under his name "rasseltassel"). It's based upon the Iron Grip game:

Re: Alternate history imagery

Beauregard, please provide a link to that delightful picture. I want to see it in larger size, but somehow I cpuld not find my way to it at that forum.

I hold the little girl's hand
I wrestle the wildfire
I share the pain
Because if not I, who? If not now, when?

oh, you can get the full size by copying the image URL (it's automatically resized here) and open it in a new windo/tab.

but here additionally the link to the direct page:
