Planeswalkers Pantheon by *Cryptcrawler on deviantART. Illustration. These animated gifs are some of the coolest we've ever seen. Innovative animated gifs. At first thought, animated GIFs might conjure up images of dancing “under construction” signs and cheesy banner ads circa the year 2000. Luckily, the creative minds of present-day animators, designers, illustrators, and digital artists are revisiting the technology and utilizing it in impressive new ways. Whether it’s a website with strategically placed, imagery-rich cinemagraphs (photographs with a minor and repeated movement action) or an exploration into mind-bending art, there’s little question that animated GIFs remain a viable technology in design.

With this in mind, we’ve put together a collection of stellar GIF art from three wildly creative forces from across the globe. Sure, the pulsating geometric patterns and loud colors that are intrinsic to their work might not translate into an e-commerce site; but these artists’ stylistic visions serve to remind us that experimenting with what’s considered rudimentary can produce some pretty fascinating results.

Steampunk Spider-Man and his nemesis, Victorian-era Doctor Octopus. Sci-Fi Actors Wearing Steampunk Clothes Designed By Prada. Click to enlarge this image you surely must have already dreamt High end fashion line Prada has just unveiled photos and video of actors Willem “Green Goblin” Dafoe, Gary “Commissioner Sirius Black” Oldman, Garrett “Sam Flynn” Hedlund, and Jamie “TinTin Billy Elliot” Bell wearing their heavily steampunk-influenced fall/winter menswear line. This is a real sentence we just typed describing a real thing. Prada describes the photo campaign by David Sims as “a subtle parody of power and role-play” and goes on to describe the steampunk-clothed actors as players in a game where every precise movement and mannerism is studied.

Click below for more photos of the actors modeling the line, along with a behind the scenes video of the photo shoot. Willem Dafoe is serving up some high-powered glower, so anyone with a heart condition should probably step back. Click to Enlarge. You can see more photos from the shoot at Prada’s site.

Ingenious movie posters capture the magical essence of Disney films. These real-life Disney princess photos are so spot-on, it's eerie. Samurai Star Wars characters, out of a movie too awesome to exist. Seeing as how westerns and samurai movies influenced star wars to begin with, I had always wanted there to be some civilization in the galaxy that was very samurai-like, with their own weapons that are either like katana lightsabers or some other kind of energy blade. I know a bent blade lightsaber might be too much to handle, but ive seen in the clone wars cartoon (i know i know) that one or two characters had...i think they called them void blades. They were a kind of energy weapon, but instead of being a beam of light, it was like some kind of flat, shaped, energy blade.

That would work instead of a true lightsaber. Also, why are there no large, two-handed lightsabers? Sure a zweihander lightsaber would be very odd, but at this point, its kinda like "oh well, might as well enjoy the craziness" Yue Wang's Portraits Will Peer into Your Heart [Art.
