Makeup artist Sahily recreated the poster for Star Trek: Into Darkness as eye makeup and it’s incredible. She’s actually painted a little Benedict Cumberbatch on her eyelid. Sahily says this isn’t intended to be a wearable design but rather an example of her artistic ability. She’s not even a fan of Star Trek, but with work this good I think we can all let that pass.

Comic book heroes change up uniforms on a regular basis. It’s got to be exhausting for artists and cosplayers to keep current. It’s no different for films – Captain America appears to be getting new duds for The Winter Soldier. It’s a more stealthy look without any of the red and white stripes that make his costume instantly recognizable. I mean, you can still tell who he is, but it’s definitely a drastic change. Not a bad one – just different.

We first saw Superman’s iconic “S” shield in Action Comics, Issue #1 way back in 1938. It’s gone through a lot of changes in the last 75 years to arrive at the version Henry Cavill will be sporting in the upcoming Man of Steel movie. This infographic shows just how we got to where we are and highlights subtle changes you probably never even noticed.

This baby is made by Unbox Therapy is just that. It consists of a hockey shoulder pad, industrial grade velcro and 20 JBL Micro 2 speakers.

The second installment of Peter Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy, The Desolation of Smaug, arrives in theaters on December 13th and features some characters not seen in the original book. One of those characters is Tauriel who will be played by a very red-headed Evangeline Lilly as shown in this picture. Lilly describes this new character as a more lowly elf than those we’ve seen in previous films
“Tauriel is the head of the Elven Guard. She’s a Sylvan Elf, which means she’s of a much lower order than the elves we all became acquainted with in The Lord of the Rings. She doesn’t hold the same kind of status that Arwen or Galadriel or Elrond or Legolas do — she’s much more lowly. She sort of goes against the social order of the elves a little bit.”
She may be more lowly but she still looks like she could skewer a few Orcs without even trying.
Beyond being cute, this t-shirt also proves that pandas really can save the world. Or galaxy. Or a zoo near you.

Jorge Vegas plays a younger version of Peter Parker in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and he and Andrew Garfield recently hung out on set while both wearing Spider-Man costumes. I’m convinced Garfield loves the costume; he recently took a break from filming and played basketball with some kids while dressed as the superhero. These photos make both of them look adorable.

Christopher Eccleston has definitely left his days as The Doctor behind if this shot from the set of Thor: The Dark World is any indication. He’s in his full costume as Malekith and the make-up is so convincing it’s hard to believe it’s Eccleston underneath. He looks to be a fabulously evil villain!
