Project: The Silmarillion Project
“Ainulindalë - The Music of the Ainur”
Dresden Codak cartoonist Aaron Diaz puts a fresh spin on Tolkien by illustrating each character of The Silmarillion as though it were an HBO animated series. Personally, I think that if you were to animate one of Tolkien's works today, only Miyazaki would do it justice, but that in no way negates my enormous admiration for Diaz's work on this project. These illustrations are what it might look like if Peter Jackson had used the crew of Samurai Jack to bring Lord of the Rings to life. Visit the project's Tumblr, and bookmark it today!
"This is the beginning of a side project I’ve been working on, where each week I’ll be posting an illustration that corresponds with a different chapter of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion.
The Music of the Ainur is essentially the beginning of Tolkien’s creation myth, where the Earth is slowly formed into being by ethereal song. Nothing too fancy just yet, but tune in next week as things heat up!"

You know, aside from killing everyone in sight. Boy, real people are a lot less understanding than Luigi.
Video: NFL Game of Thrones
This Austrian NFL Game Promo pays homage to A Game of Thrones, so if you love both football and fantasy, you're going to love this. I didn't even know that American football had European fans, but to be fair, the only thing I really know about football is that it sometimes pre-empts TV shows that I would rather be watching. This rather brilliant Game of Thrones-style promotion casts the opposing teams in the role of rival houses.
