Halloween - Costume

I just wanted to post my costume which I put together based on one of my favorite super hero designs. I just wish I was in as good of shape as Batman.

Top of the Top Tuesday - Halo

Halo

This futuristic video game keeps a rather grounded view of the future where intergalactic space travel is possible and where we are at war with an alien species. The alien species tend to use more sleek, organic shapes, while the humans tend to have more industrialized, mass produced look, yet they mesh together so perfectly.

Good Friday - HTC Evo 4G LTE

HTC Evo 4G LTE

This cell phone has been in my pocket for the last 2 years and despite some minor design flaws such as it's weak charging port, it is a great phone. It has a beautiful interface and one of my favorite design features of any phone I've encountered; It's kick out leg stand which allows the phone to be placed on a table and viewed like a picture frame.

Top of the Top Tuesdays - Aliens

Aliens 

The sequel to the original Ridley Scott film Alien, Aliens is a science fiction film that expands upon the original in every way. The design of the creatures itself are a perfect balance of elegance and terror, while the human military is aggressive yet personal.

Good Friday - My Winter Coat

Winter Coat

It is comfortable, form fitting, and generally interesting to look at. It is reminiscent of eskimo jackets and a pea coats which gives it a mix of style and functionality. Personally, I love it because it reminds me of the jacket the protagonist wears in Assassin's Creed 3. Because I'm awesome.

Top of the Top Tuesday - Fallout 3

Fallout 3

Taking place in the large, post-apocalyptic wasteland of Washington DC, the game is a pseudo- futuristic, nuclear inspired world. It takes 40's, 50's, and 60's common pieces and then combines them with futuristic tendencies.

Good Friday - My Dean Guitar

Dean Exotica Koa Wood Acoustic- Electric Guitar

She is a sexy, sexy beast of an instrument. Personally known to me as Daina, she is made of beautiful orange brown Koa wood. The elegant curves and light weight form make her a dream to play with and extremely comfortable to hold.

Top of the Top Tuesdays - The Dark Knight Trilogy

The Dark Knight Trilogy

The Christopher Nolan films took the comic book hero Batman and thrust it into the world of realism. Using real world designs and practicability, the films made the seemingly impossible, become very real.  I personally try to utilize the thought process of the films where I question how well my designs will blend in with the real world.

Good Fridays - Pocket Knife

Spyderco Pocket Knife

My friend gave me this knife before he went away to the military. Besides it's emotional value, I personally love this knife. It is elegantly curved and is extremely useful. It's handle molds well the to the hand and it's serrated blade allows for it to cut and saw a lot of stuff.

Top of the Top Tuesday - Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed

This video game series takes place along multiple time periods and across the globe. The game managed to not only perfectly recreate their environments, but also manages to make new outfits and weapons blend in well into the environments. It's grand scale has always inspired me.
