Gallur Gallery Challenge 2 Tales - The saga of Atlantis!

Perhaps introducing the second Gallery Challenge during the holiday seasons was a mistake. Despite almost twice the number of readers as regular posts, the Challenge never attracted anyone to write a short synopsis, I suspect because most folks were busy with family and friends (and shopping) during December.

But that doesn't mean I can't add my own take on the "Master of the Seas". Check it out, right below the image it is based upon!

The war was over Atlantis had barely saved the world once again from the dangerous Ocean Witch, but at great cost to him. While the Witch was dead, his kingdom was in shambles, his people flung across the Seven Seas and his bride Luna was locked in an unwaking dream, a final curse left by his arch-foe. Only his faithful companion Octavian remains as Atlantis sets out on a quest to find a cure in the world above!

The Gallery Challenge will return in February for another go around, but until then feel free to still share your story ideas for this piece in the comments section below!

Cosplay Friday: Kidagakash

I have long held that Atlantis: The Lost Empire is under-rated by a lot of Disney fans. While it isn't the best animated movie from the studio ever, it has tons going for it with a great cast and an awesome premise. Perhaps it didn't provide all the thrills it could have, but it did create an amazing princess that somehow isn't an official Disney Princess. Kida may be one of the best designed Disney characters ever and cosplays such as this one by Aleu Moana.

As always, you can check out a lot more great Cosplay pictures over on the Tumblr. And while you are admiring some great cosplay here, don’t forget to check out some of the other great stuff from SuperPoweredFiction.com!

Gallur Gallery Challenge 2: Master of the Seas

It has been far too long since I presented the first Gallery Challenge back in September. But time does nothing but make the heart grow fonder. So, this holiday I proudly present the second edition of the event.

The basic premise is simple: I present a piece of art by a master of fantasy or science fiction art and then I encourage my readers to share a story premise based on that art. In two weeks, I will share the responses before sharing my own concept.

So far that artist has been the amazing Rafael Gallur, a Mexican artist known for his intense visuals and amazing work on lucha libre adventure novel covers. Last time around, I featured a cover featuring El Hijo Del Santo, the Son of the Saint. This time around, I feature the wrestler Atlantis, a piece called "Master of the Seas".
