It’s that time of week again when pop culture and Age of Animus are on a collision course that produces super awesomeness. It’s time for the Wednesday Mash-up.

Today we go back to the Marvel Universe to complete our look at the Avengers line-up. For those of you who didn’t see part one, you can go back through the artwork archives or click here.

First up, we have the mauve archer, Cooneye, played by the one and only Red Rich, wearing a special purple mask for the occasion. It’s a shame purple isn’t one of the three colours I chose for him because he looks good in it.

Moving right along, we come to Iron Cat, played by the ever cute, Sass. Her distinctive head shape makes it so that I can cover her face with a helmet and you still know instantly who it is…but I drew her without the mask on anyway.

Rounding out the heroes is the mouse running the show, Zo Fury rocking the eye patch and trench coat. Unfortunately, it was the least intricate design, so there’s some pizzazz missing.

And last but not least, is the villain of our piece, played as is custom by Todrick: that manic god of mischief, Loki.

That’s it for this week. I have no ideas yet for next week, so it’ll be a big surprise for all of us.

KITTYYYYYYY!

Welcome back to the Wednesday Mash-up. Last week we saw the Animus gang gear up as members of the Joe squad. This week, we see what happens when they join the ranks of Kitty. Yeah, I changed Cobra to Kitty. More on that later.

First, let’s take a look at the Kitty logo, sure to inspire cuteness in the hearts of men.

First is Nektara as the Bear-oness. Surprisingly, I came up with the name pun AFTER I decided to cast Nektara as the Baroness and not the other way around. It was while I was drawing her that I decided I would change the logo. But the Kitty logo was not the original logo I drew.

Originally, Todrick was going to be Fox (Cobra) Commander and Sass was going to be Sasspentor. That was the plan when I drew Bear-oness so I drew a fox logo on her (which I didn’t really like). Then as I went along, I decided that Todrick would make a better match for Serpentor as Vulpintor, so the Cobra Commander role went to Sass.  It made more sense to call her Kitty Commander, and that’s when I changed the logo to the cat one. Anyway, here’s Kitty Commander.

You’re probably thinking Vulpintor is next, but I finally decided that since I don’t especially LIKE Serpentor, I wasn’t going to use him. Instead, Todrick got cast as Dr. Noggin-knocker.

Kitty couldn’t do without a world-class tinkerer to build new weapons. They had to settle for Destryan.

Fortunately, they have Scrap-Oonch to pick up some of the slack (chosen specifically for his eye-covering mask). I drew Oonch first, before I thought of changing the Cobra logo, so originally he had a stylized cobra like Scrap-Iron’s on his helmet. I later had to go back and colour over it so I could draw the stylized kitty in its place.

 

Redtan is the Kitty master of disguise. Unfortunately, his idea of a disguise is changing the colour of his mask!

Zo-rana is much better at disguising herself, but her everyday-wear makes her easy to pick out in a crowd.

Finally, there’s Major Barnabludd, with his bionic arm. I can’t seem to resist giving Barnaby a mustache.

Stormshadow didn’t make the cut for the same reason Snake-Eyes didn’t make the cut last week. Their masks obscure too much of the faces, making it less obvious who’s underneath the mask (and I don’t particularly care for ninjas).

That’s all for this week. Next week, I’ll go back and finish the Avengers. I promise!

Hey everybody! It’s Wednesday Mash-up Time again! This week, we’re doing G.I.Joe.

First up, here’s Zoë as Scarlett. I think I shall call her…Zo-lett! Yeah, some of these names aren’t gold.

Next up, is Barnaby as Bazooka…Barnooka.

Moving right along, we have Todrick as Shipwreck…you guessed it, Rickwreck!

What’s next you ask? Why is Big Oonch as Sci-fi or Sci-Oonch!

The other half of the cast will follow next week as usual…just kidding! We’re doing them all this week! Next up, Green Rich is Flint!

And to play Flint’s gal Lady Jaye is Sass, I call her Lady Sass (I went with the cap-wearing version).

The third of our femmes fatales is Nektara as Cover Bear!

And finally, Cyran is Tripbunny!

Next week, we’ll take a look at the Cobra side of things!

It’s Wednesday Mash-up time! To celebrate the release of the Avengers movie, we’ll be looking at Pelaria’s Mightiest Heroes!

First up, there’s the leader, Captain Animus, played faithfully by Cyran.

Mild mannered scientist Barnaby Banner was trying to replicate the super soldier serum that produced Captain Animus. Unfortunately, he got it wrong and was instead transformed into the dim-witted Derp.

Moving along, we have the deadly Black Widow, trained assassin and resourceful spy, played by Nektara.

Last we have the Mighty Oonch, god of Thunder, with his hammer, Mjolnir.

Come back next week to see the rest of the cast!

Animus Trek I – The Motionless Picture

Welcome back to the Wednesday Mash-up. As promised in Monday’s blog, this week’s theme is Star Trek.

Chronologically, Star Trek: Enterprise comes first, so here’s Nektara wearing the uniform made famous by Scott Bakula (I admit, I’ve never watched an episode of Enterprise. I totally had to look it up). Because the Funnies characters don’t have arms wide enough to put the crest on, I had to cheat and put it above the red piping on the shoulder pads. The red by the way, designates security and engineering, just like in Classic Trek.

Next up is Classic Trek. Todrick is rocking the science officer blues while talking into a communicator. I’m ashamed to admit that I drew a Star Wars comlink in his paw at first. It didn’t look right, so I looked for a reference picture online. As soon as I saw it, I was like, duh! They look like cell phones! How could I forget that?

 

After the original series comes Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Cyran is sporting a Starfleet uniform circa 1979. I didn’t notice until I finished that I actually had him looking to the left, which has given me plenty of trouble in the past. I guess it’s the goggles that make it hard, because I think he looks good here.

Finally, I’ll finish up with an alien uniform. Here is Barnaby as a post-Classic Trek Klingon. This is twice Barnaby gets to rock the mustache look!

Next week we’ll conclude our look at Animus Trek. See you then!
