Graphic designer, Juan Pablo Bravo (of Chile) has taken the task of creating a visual chart of the size comparison of 250 of your favorite Disney characters. He has already done a 200 character infographic for characters from Pixar films and also a 70 character infographic for all the villains from various Disney movies. Juan’s attention to detail is epic as he created this size comparison chart in chronological order and also color coded the character based on the importance the character’s role in their respective films. On top of that, each character’s name is indicated in both English and Spanish. Not a single character was left out as the chart features characters such as Snow White to little Rhino from Bolt. The picture above is just a small sample of what Juan has created. The actual chart is HUGE and you can view it here!

Lets face it. TRON and TRON Legacy features some of the most pwn-some vehicles, weapons, tech, etc. imaginable. Every fanboy and fangirl remembers there first encounter seeing the light cycle wizz by on the screen and we all dreamed about how bad ass it would be to ride one of those suckers. Sure, seeing Olivia Wilde in the trailer makes us feel funny in our pants, but regardless, nothing is more sexier than the light cycles and the different tech and gadgets from the world of TRON. Fortunately, Disney has released promotional high resolution images of some of the bitchin’ tech in the movie and conceptual art that went into designing TRON Legacy. TRON Legacy will definitely be a visual masterpiece and hopefully will be a sci-fi classic just like the original. TRON Legacy will release in IMAX 3D on December 17, 2010.

Welcome to “The Mechanical Kingdom”! When Disney Design Group artist, Mike Sullivan got introduced to the culture of “steampunk” at a sci-fi convention, he couldn’t help himself but get obsessed with the designs and unique features of steampunk. He has taken his new found love to his work as Disney will be designing and producing merchandise combining the world of steampunk and Disney’s colorful cast of characters and all the merchandise in a collection titled, “The Mechanical Kingdom” will be designed by Mike Sullivan himself.
“I created a story outline and several sketches to sell the idea of creating Steampunk-inspired merchandise,” continued Mike. “Honestly, it was a long process explaining the concept as many folks were unfamiliar with Steampunk. Thankfully, the Disney Pin Team loved the idea and created a pin set.” (I promise I had nothing to do with it).
The first releases from “The Mechanical Kingdom” line will be five limited edition pins (which will be sold individually) and also a themed journal written by Professor Ludwig Von Drake that will features an introduction into the Mechanical Kingdom story. On top of that, the journal will include two additional limited edition “completer” pins of a steampunked Mickey Mouse and Pirate Pete and almost the five individual pins.
There more stuff in the works as Mike is designing Mechanical Kingdom Vinylmation figurines (Disney’s version of urban designer figures) as well. The pins and journal will be rolling out in April 2010 and sold exclusively at Walt Disney World and Disneyland Parks Resorts. I’ll be there.

Beware of the adorable, homicidal lamps.
I knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Pixar’s infamous desk lamp mascot’s constant brutal attacks on the letter “I” has finally taken its toll and now Luxo Jr. must pay for his crimes. Does the death sentence seem suitable for the crime committed? I sure think so. Luxo killed a beloved vowel for gawd sakes! I say give you letter killer the chair and get it over with. John Lasseter must be crying after realizing what kind of monster he has created all those years ago. It’s always the bright ones that turn out to be screwed up in the end (see what I did there? Yeah, I’m lame). Hit the jump to see the crime AND punishment in action.

flatness is god.
I think is it is pretty common feature now on igeektrooper to spotlight the work of some very talented artists. This this around, it is my turn and I wanted to feature an artist I have been following for couple years now. Known as belldandies (aka. adi.s.) on DeviantArt, belldandies is a brilliant graphic arts who work features vector-style graphics with simple (but deep) color schemes. Unfortunately, even after hours and hours of searching, there is very information about who belldandies actually is. Other than the fact that he resides in San Francisco, the rest is pretty much a mystery. Some of the most popular work he has done is based on comic and sci-fiction characters. He has given characters such as G.I. Joe’s Baroness, X-Men’s Jean Grey and Storm, and Dave Steven’s The Rocketeer the “belldandies” treatment. belldandies’ vector art style is beautifully elegant and haunting while his meticulous use of various levels of red and black gives the art a vibrant personality. If the world was flat, belldandies would be king.
