Light Landspeeder is a Tron: Legacy / Star Wars film mashup of a Land Speeder and Light Cycle that I created back in 2010 which should become a reality since The Walt Disney Company recently acquired Lucasfilm. This piece was inspired by a comment made by my friend / artist Geekleetist regarding a great Tron-Taun mashup by David Swart.

Mass Effect / SNES Instruction Manual Wedding Program Cover

My good friend Jesse is getting married to a lovely lady name Jessi this Saturday (10/13/2012) and the two fellow geeks asked if I could help with making a drawing / photoshop of them as video game characters. This is what the end result was, after some Photoshop work and rebuilding the Mass Effect logo. Jessi wanted a SNES instruction manual look for the cover design, so that is what I tried for. It also received a modern Mass Effect twist.

“Fight for the Love” is simply a remix of the Mass Effect 2 slogan “Fight for the Lost”
