George R. R. Martin created such a multilayered world out of the phantasms of our histories that his stories feel truer than real life, or at least more understandable. A Song of Ice and Fire drew the attention of artists long before HBO took an interest in adapting it into a series, but once the characters of Westeros were introduced to television audiences a wealth of art from a new generation of fans began to spring forth. While it is satisfying to see our favorite characters recreated in different styles, for us at Too Much, it’s even more fun to see depictions of characters, places, and events not seen on the tv series.
This sculpture of Tyrion Lannister is presumably delicious. He’s a cake made of modeling chocolate, RKT and fondant.

Few movie series have grabbed so many imaginations from around the globe. This is just a small selection of creative work inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Some are professional illustrators while others are enthusiasts with serious skills. This Avengers: Endgame group shot was created by a series of artists under the umbrellas of Studiokun x Dinsai.

Honorable Mention: Kishan Kumar for this rather sweet faced Thanos. It’s hard to believe this face would want to wipe out half the Universe.

Danny Bittman is a self-described virtual reality artist, filmmaker, and developer but that barely relates what he actually does. He makes whole words from voxels, brainwaves, and dreams. Using VR creation tools like Tilt Brush and Blocks, he has created immersive experiences for Marvel, Google, Hyundai, Nvidia, and more. He was also part of Google’s pioneering artist-in-residence program. Currently, he animates and directs freelance projects such as Taryn Southern’s innovative “Life Support”
His background is in narrative and special effects. He starting writing about VR very early on, but just as a bystander, once he took the plunge he was surprised that he was able to create so much with first just generation technology. He’s shared his journey as he’s experimented with tools, technique and practices as fast as he’s learned it with the intention of helping others discover their potential with immersive tools that often seemingly defy the impossible.
With over 1,600 hours exploring the creative potential of VR, Danny Bittman has plenty of work to showcase, including this Stephen Curry ad for Under Armour.
“Life Support” was composed using AI from Amper, with VR animation from Danny Bittman using Google Tiltbrush and Unity, incorporating fMRI videos of Taryn Southern’s brain.
Too Much is such a fan of Brittman that his work has already been featured in Opusculum.

By utilizing the upcoming VR creation tool #ANIMVR, I choreographed a 10-minute #VR music video and performed inside of it live at @marketo's #MKTGnation Summit. The environments were built with #TiltBrush, and it was all rendered in #Unit3d. Created with @heliosinteract pic.twitter.com/Q49yqgB8jS
