It’s Mash-up time again!

As promised, here are the first Firefly mash-ups. This week we’re focusing on the crew of Serenity. As always click to embiggen.

First up is the captain of Serenity, Captain Todrick Reynolds. He fought for the Independents, or Browncoats in the Unification War. One thing I can say is that I find pure white and pure black to be the two hardest colours to shade well, which is why I normally don’t do it. I tried here with mixed results.

Todrick’s first mate is Zoë Washburne. She’s a fellow Browncoat who served with Todrick in the War. Of course, it was a no-brainer that Zoë would play Zoe.

The pilot is Richmond “Rich” Washburne, Zoë’s husband. Here is holding his beloved toy dinosaurs. The one cursing the other for his “sudden but inevitable betrayal”.

Keeping Serenity in working condition is a big job. Thankfully Nektara Lee Frye is up to the task. By her own admission, engines just talk to her. She’s a real sweetheart and you can tell by the patches she chose to sew into her jumpsuit. There isn’t a power in the ‘verse that can keep Nektara from smiling.

Finally, we have Serenity’s muscle, the bear they call Barnaby Cobb. Here he is wearing his cunning hat and holding his pride and joy, Vera. I tried my best to do Vera justice. I’m pleased with the results.

That’s it for this week. Next week we’ll look at the passengers who also call Serenity home.

Happy Labour Day

I hope everybody had a nice Labour Day weekend. I know I did. Saturday I made my weekly visit to Zone 51, my local comic book store and picked up my comics. In the evening, I played a PS3 port of the classic X-Men arcade game with my friend, Frank. Good day.

Sunday, I finished working on my Animus Firefly posters. I put them up on Facebook yesterday and I’ll put them up in the Artwork section a little later. Those shrewd observers amongst you may be able to guess that this week’s theme for the mash-ups is Firefly. I made arrangements to have them printed up poster size from two different places. One that says it’ll take 5-10 business days (which would mean it might only be available on the Monday after Comic-Con) and the other said that it’ll ship in 24 hours and should arrive by the 13th (the day before I leave for Comic-Con). So in both cases, I’m cutting it pretty close and if I had waited any longer to finish, then I would have missed out. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that at least one of them arrives in time so I can bring it to Comic-Con and get it signed by Adam Baldwin (Jayne on Firefly).

After all that artimifying work, I was invited to my friend Fab’s for a campfire in his backyard with Fab, his girlfriend Lyne, and our friends Frank and Steve also in attendance. I had my can’t-call-it-nerf shotgun with me and I took shots at everyone throughout the evening. I was amused (and deep down, they were amused too). We got to see the fireworks that were held for La Classique weekend. It was a fun night indeed.

Today, I drew my two strips for the week and napped some. Not as fun as the previous two days, but a good day nonetheless.

Every weekend, I intend to work on my project that’s soon to start going up, but I never get around to it. This weekend my attention was directed towards my Firefly posters. Next weekend I’ll be working on mash-ups again since the following weekend I’ll be at Comic-Con and unable to work on anything. I don’t want to delay the project, but I don’t want to burn out on the project either, so it’ll start going up as intended, and if there are breaks in between, so be it. Maybe once it’s started up on the site, I’ll be more keen to work on it.

Have a good week everybody!
