Welcome to Mash-up Wednesday, a new feature here at Age of Animus! Here I experiment crossing Age of Animus characters with other pop culture icons. I’m not going to guarantee a new mash-up every week, but when I have a new one to share, it’ll be posted on Wednesdays.
Without further ado, let’s get to this week’s mash-ups:
I’m a big DC Comics fan, and I thought it’d be fun to draw the Animus Funnies as superheroes.
First, there’s Aquafox!
At night, the streets of Sixtus are watched over by Rab-Bat!
Rab-Bat is often at odds with Catfeline! She was the trickiest character to name actually. With the other “Man” or “Woman” names, I’d simply substitute the species of the character, but in this case, that would have given Catcat.
Moving right along, here’s Wonder Bear!
And because one good bear deserves another, here’s Superbear, ready to fight for truth, justice and the Animus way! I thought of inverting the S on his chest, you know, because Barnaby isn’t very smart. But then, you’d think he was Bizarro, not Superman!
Patrolling the skies is the mighty Hawkmouse! Zoë was almost Green Lantern, until I thought that since she flies as a member of the Mouse Wing this made a lot of sense.
Next we have The Question!
Okay, so that felt like a cheat, so I drew another Big Oonch superhero, Captain Oonchvel! (I still found a way to not show his eyes!)
Since Oonch got to be two heroes, I decided Cyran would also pull double duty as The Fastest Rabbit Alive, the Flash (because the wings of Flash’s mask made for another way to work in Cyran’s ears)
I make no secret about Green Arrow being my favorite superhero, so I couldn’t leave him out of this. Here’s Red’n’Green Arrow! (I’m really pleased with how the pose turned out on this one!)
And finally we have Red Rich!
What? Red Rich is already a superhero! Okay fine, here he is as Green Lantern, looking suspiciously like former Lantern, Ch’p!
That’s it for this instalment! See you next time!
