Hello peoples! It is now time for the Mash-up of the Wednesdays! Let us get to the fun, yes?

As advertised, it’s Guardians of the Galaxy again this week. If you wanna see a closeup of the picture, you know what to do right? Correct! You click on it!

The main villain in the movie was Ronan the Accuser and who’s more fitting to play the villain than the utterly imposing Cyran? Of course I traded Ronan’s giant hammer for a giant wrench.

That’s all for this week. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Zoë so next week, it’s her turn! See you next Wednesday for the reveal!

Big Day Tomorrow!

Today is the last day that I can say Age of Animus has been on the web for over two years. TOMORROW, I’ll have to say Age of Animus has been online for THREE years. Woo!

My track record for continuing through with ideas is spotty at best so to be honest, I wasn’t sure I’d last the year. Now, to say I’ve been working and adding to the site for three years…it feels darn good. That I feel I keep improving each week, that feels doubly darn good. Yesterday when I looked at the comparison of the flashback I drew of Sass as Threepio compared to the original…well it’s really something (which you can all see in three weeks’ time).

I’ve introduced a number of new characters over the past three years. I don’t think there’s a design I’ve liked off the bat as much as I do Chae’s. Her look will continue to be refined as we go along, but I just like the way she’s turned out so far. There’s a good chance we’ll be seeing her featured beyond the current storyline. I just have that feeling.

Played a three-way match of Krosmaster Arena this weekend. We each picked a 2-pointer, a 3-pointer and a 4-pointer at random. I need to play more. I could play the online version, but I find it tedious. I find the tactile experience of tabletop play so much more enjoyable. The advantage of playing online is that the computer keeps you from forgetting steps. After the game, we watched some Wakfu. It was Ankama Night all around. Fun stuff!

The new Skylanders game (Trap Team) came out yesterday. Somehow I had gotten it into my head it was coming out two weeks from yesterday. My wallet is going to be bleeding soon. I’m kinda glad I didn’t jump into Disney Infinity 2.0 right away. It would have been pushed aside for Skylanders.

I guess that’s all for now. Every week I say to myself I’ll have more to talk about in next week’s blog and almost every week I find myself wondering what to talk about. What do YOU want me to talk about? Let me know in the comments!

Guardians of the Galaxy Group Picture

Hello friends! I hope you’re all enjoying your Saturday. The Guardians of the Galaxy theme isn’t over yet, but I brought the heroes of the theme together for a group shot.

As happened with the Teen Titans group picture, I had to redo someone’s eyes, this time Red Rich’s, so that he wouldn’t be looking in a completely other direction than everybody else because that just looks weird. The sizes play different from the real Guardians of the Galaxy obviously but it still makes for a fun group picture. Click on it to enlarge it.

Greetings folks and welcome to another edition of Flashback Friday. It’s always good to have you!

“Crashing through the sky, comes a fearful cry – Kitty! Kitty!”

It’s Cobra time again this week (and next week). This time, Todrick is here as Dr. Mindbender. As is often the case for me, it was tricky to get the legs and feet just right. Don’t forget to click on a picture to enlarge it.

Mindbender

Here’s his action figure card. I wasn’t able to think of any witty take on the name this time around.

Dr

And as always, here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. One thing I liked about the original were the gold badges holding his cape in place. I went with a different shape this time around which is a little cuter/sillier and silver instead of gold. The elegance of the older design is probably better but that’s the only thing that’s better from the original.

That’s all for this week. Have a greet weekend everybody! New Cobra flashback next week!
