Graphic designer Matthew Brown offers a little insight into the classifications of the various classes of Droids in the Star Wars universe. I'm not entirely certain these are cannon, but hey, we're willing to play along.
Concept Art: Kvothe in Tarbean
"Kvothe in Tarbean" by Canada-based Matt Rhodes
"I’ve been wanting to draw something from Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind books for a while now. Here’s the protagonist, Kvothe in the city of Tarbean.
Process wise, this was a self-inflicted exercise in patience. This image has been sitting in my head for months, but I’ve avoided it, knowing how much work would be required to do the city justice. I’m still on the fence as to whether or not this level of complexity helped or hindered. Something more abstracted/vague may have given me a better result, sooner."
Concept Art: Dune Animate Series
"Dune" by Canada-based Matt Rhodes
Matt Rhodes, the lead concept artist on Dragon Age: Inquisition has recently become obsessed with the Dune franchise, thanks to the amazing Jodorowsky’s Dune documentary (which I can't recommend highly enough for sci-fi fans.) The result is some great concept art, inspired by Indian filmmaker Tarsem Singh, that makes us really wish that the folks behind MTV's Æon Flux series would create an animated series based on Dune.
Check out the pieces below. There are only three of them, but they're enough to set your imagination on fire!

"I finally gave in to the siren song of Dune and was dashed upon the rocks like so many concept artists before me. There just isn't time to render these, but I’m reasonably pleased with the linework, so here they are!
Some context: I fell into a Dune-hole recently which started by stumbling across the INCREDIBLE art from what would have been Jodorowsky’s Dune film. That inspired me to re-watch the David Lynch movie again (one of my favorites). At that point, I had to read the book again. In the middle of my read-through, I watched a couple Tarsem Singh movies and my brain made a connection that I couldn’t shake loose:
I want a 4 hour Dune movie designed by Tarsem Singh’s crew (production designer, art director, costume designer, cinematographer, etc…)
So, in order to get that thought out of my brain, I took a clumsy swing at designing the cast of Dune through the lens of Tarsem Singh’s crew. To me, that meant making each character an operatic or theatrical expression of their role in the story. Visual storytelling cranked to eleven."

Review: The heroics of the Fury Road video game are defined by dreams, not bodies.
The game that inspired BioShock , System Shock, has been remastered for modern PCs, and I can't begin to tell you how geek out I am over it. I was a HUGE fan of the game in the back when, and I fully plan on losing whole days of my life to this game again in the very near future.
