There's also http://www.merzo.net for this sort of thing. Last time I checked they'd added Robotech vessels. (Edit: And then mecha.)

Let's crack open the old dictionary and have a crack at this... Darth Ch - Shorter even than Yoda. Darth Choate - Sort of newish and not quite sure what its evil schemes are Darth Cite - Fights just tend to start around this guy. Darth Cense - Darth Cite's better-smelling brother. Darth Cubate...

As a New Zealander: I sure hope they release it on DVD, because that's just about the only way I'm going to see it. (Unless someone manages to post the episodes on the Internet again. As opposed to whatever system the official site is using, which tells me I'm not in the US so I can go away and...

Consider 'lower' forms of life: - Hexweasels - Spherical fish with four frontal fins giving them great maneuverability - Herd animals that are either long (and six-legged) or winged; flying buffalo and weasel sheep become common sights - Evolutionary branch: hexapods and winged creatures...

Apparently the machete was used to great effect in that recent nastiness in Rwanda... But they certainly knew what guns were in Rwanda, so that's not helpful advice. I'd guess guns would be all but unknown in the middle medieval period, but well-known (though not owned by every peasant) in the...

I'm open, if it comes up. I've also got enough rehearsed material upstairs to go on a minor evangelist rant if the situation calls for it. It often doesn't. Most of the time, it's bumping into other peoples' friends (at family luncheon, mostly) and explaining what I do for a living (draw...

Doesn't sound like bad terms... I've done various pieces of superheroic stuff; you can see one below (an illustration from Superlink product Above And Beyond), and I'd encourage you to visit my webcomic and recent gallery in order to see some of the other stuff I do. (If you're thinking...

Actually, I suspect all those names are carefully chosen - you can make stuff up, or you can suggest a bond to our world that's not immediately visible. Some of that stuff is awfully obscure, too - but it's all pretty specific. I just find it hard to believe that all that isn't just a huge hint...

Two from webcomics: Hereticorp, from Sluggy Freelance. Just look at the name. The Gatekeepers, from Schlock Mercenary. First appearance: One of them kills some (the?) main characters. Then things just get creepier.

You know, back before the first X-Men movie was released, Wizard magazine did a joke about what it would have been like had George Lucas been directing. Now it's actually happening, and it looks cool. (I'm honour bound to say that - anything with both barnstorming and art deco in it recieves a...

Still on the anime theme, every single character has a joke name in DragonBall and its assorted carry-on series, often themed according to race or profession. 'Goku' may be an exception, as it's the name of a mythical character. But everybody else... frex, all the pre-human-bred Saiyajin are...

Heck, I can't see his name anymore without thinking 'Samuel L. Motherfo-ing Jackson'. Which is annoying, because I can count the number of times I've used that word on my thumbs without taking off my shoes. (I'm rather genteel.) I'm terrified that if I meet the man I'll say "Well, if it isn't...

As a spot thing, I would think it'd be just fine. There are monsters in D&D that drive you crazy already (the Gibbering Mouther), why not have a more unified mechanic? However, I wouldn't throw in a whole SAN system; mighty heroes should sneer upon minor demons with contempt. An escalating...

I believe that's Rekall, at least in the TV series of Total Recall which had more than one evil corporation (well, not so much 'evil' as 'competitive', but that's a chilling enough evil in this case). I can't remember any of the others, though. Pity. That show was basically 'evil corporation...

Email also sent. Never hurts to get a few more supers in the old portfolio.

If you want to get good, draw from life (or photographs), understand what you're drawing (anatomy), and practice, practice, practice. Once you've got that down, there are plenty of sites scattered over the Net that will be very helpful. polykarbon is supposed to be good, and just about every...

You should be able to do the following: Create a new layer. Put the black-and-white art on the top layer, and set it to Multiply. (This essentially means white turns transparent, black stays where it is.) On the bottom layer, paint with whatever colours you feel like you need. Personally, I'd...

I eventually decided on Animatrix, because some bits in there are really awesome, not just cool. Second Renaissance is very interesting, even if it is just machine propaganda. It also feels like it has a bigger scope than the movies, which, in the end, didn't go as far as they should have. (Mild...

OK, there's a man - of SCIENCE!!! And this other man - of EVIL!!! And the man of SCIENCE doesn't know the Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, but he will - oh, he will! Muahahaha! At least, that's the impression I get from the trailer. Sample straightfaced dialogue: "Do you realise what this meteor...
