Well, a lot of these are too oddly shaped to bring "spaceship", but even those certainly have a futuristic sci-fi look. Some lovely designs for sure!

The Michael Lee-Chin Crystal has no right angles which made it really nasty to construct. The girders had to be placed very precisely, at all kinds of weird angles. They would spend hours placing a single one. Construction got way behind schedule.

There's also this... growth in Birmingham, England.

The Flame Towers of Baku! They even sound alien!

I like leaving at 5 to ride through traffic. It's always backed up so far that it hardly moves, and I just whiz by their scowling faces without a care.

Hmm a designer here that has never heard of this, always used adobe kuler.

Honestly, when I was a kid I thought he was boring. I think they've done wonders with the characters since about 99-2000. I specifically remember filling out a Marvel promo where they asked who your favorite and worst Marvel characters were...the image was Wolverine staring down The Thing I think. I remember listing…

Holmes in some ways is Britain: he sits in London and the troubles of an Empire fall into his parlor. He sorts through the lies of foreigners…

< sigh > Has anybody actually read the Conan Doyle Holmes' stories? He is tough guy. Yes he solves cases by being smarter than the criminals, but that's in direct opposition to his brilliant brother who sits around. Holmes is active, a good shot (V.R. in bullet holes in the wall with a revolver is pretty darn good),…
