Dune - Part 7: House Corrino
House Corrino has held the Imperial throne for generations. Shaddam IV has lived a long life due to the effects of the spice, Melange. Yet, he and his Bene-Gesserite sooth-sayer, Reverend Mother Gaius Hellen Mohiam, are wary of House Atreides, in particular, of the Duke's only son, Paul.

Dune - Part 6: House Harkonnen
House Harkonnen is well known for maintaining an iron rule. The decadence of its Barron, Vladamir, is infamous, as is the cruelty of his eldest nephew, the Beast Rabban. Surrendering the Quasi-fiefdom of planet Arakis is part of a well-conceived plan to rid the Barron and the Emperor of Duke Leto.

Dune - Part 4: The Fremen
The most deadly adversary is the one who considers you less of a threat than the environment that they live in every day. The Fremen live in the deep deserts of Arakis, conserving water, living on Spice as their sustenance. They are a race of hardened killers, armed with the weirding way taught to them by Muad'Dib and his mother.

Dune - Part 3: Paul Muad'Dib
Paul Atreides was forced to make a difficult decision. His family, dead, and his rule thwarted by the Atreides rival House Harkonnen, Paul decided to embrace the Fremen myths concerning himself and his mother, in order to gain an army strong enough to destroy his rivals and their alliance to the Emperor, Shaddam Corrino IV.
Dune - Part 2: Spacing Guild Navigator
The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness... The spice turns you into a crazy fish cricket.
I love the idea of the Navigators. The book explains them as men who have changed drastically over time through exposure to spice-gas. This gives them the ability to navigate Guild heighliners through space. No one has seen a Navigator, so most can only speculate as to what they look like, but I prefer this design to the phalic circus peanut look... sorry David Lynch.

Dune - Part 1: Shai-hulud
I LOVE DUNE... the book, I mean. With so much visual coolness to draw from and such a rich story, it baffles me how cinema has missed the mark. Clearly, with a book, there is room for interpretation, and I have always interpreted Dune as a story about the making of a terrorist leader. The worms were always an interesting element. Paul Muad'Dib used the Fremen myths about Shai-hulud (the maker) and the prophesies about Lisan Al Gaib (the voice from the outer world) as a means to build an army and exact his revenge. This drawing is my take on the sandworms.

The Avengers
The post for the team with the most...
Captain America: Steve Rogers
When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield.
If he’s led to a fight and a duel is due,
Then the red and white and the blue’ll come through
When Captain America throws his mighty shield.
Iron Man: Tony Stark
Tony Stark makes you feel
He’s a cool exec with a heart of steel.
As Iron Man, all jets ablaze,
He’s fighting and smiting with repulsor rays!
Amazing armor! That’s Iron Man!
A blazing power! That’s Iron Man!
Scarlet Witch: Wanda Maximoff
Givin' us all Scarlet Fever.
The Hulk: Bruce Banner
Doc Bruce Banner,
Belted by gamma rays,
Turned into the Hulk.
Ain’t he unglamo-rays!
Wreckin’ the town
With the power of a bull,
Ain’t no monster clown
Who is as lovable.
As ever-lovin’ Hulk! HULK!! HULK!!"
Black Panther: Prince T'Challa
I'm sorry I had to fight in the middle of your Black Panther party.
Ms. Marvel: Carol Danvers
Mizzzz.
