Hello everybody! It’s time for another flashback! So let’s get to it.

It’s been close to seven years since I first tried a Transformers mash-up. I did Prime and then I decided that it wasn’t working so I dropped it. I’ve progressed since then and thought I’d try again.

Here we have Red Rich reprising his role as Optimus Prime. I really like how the helmet turned out. The rest is…ok.

Here’s the comparison to the original. Back then I was trying to follow Prime’s design more than I was trying to adapt it to fit my character. I simplified things much more for the update. It’s not perfect, but it fits better.

That’s all for today. I didn’t hate the result as much this time around so I have some new Transformers mash-ups coming up. Have a good weekend everybody. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Flashback Friday – The King of Hearts

Good morning! Hope the day is going well so far! But then you’re starting it off right with a mash-up so how can it not be?

Here’s Red Rich as the King of Hearts. I went with the King of Hearts back in the day because, even though the Queen of Hearts is a more important character, it made more sense to have Rich as the King. This is an okay piece, hate the colouring I’m doing, BUT I found a brush tool I like better than the ones I’ve been using so far. I’m hoping it’ll get better as I get used to it.

Here’s a comparison to the original. I tried a completely original design the first time and this time I tried to go back to the look from the original Alice illustrations, which were much more inspired by playing cards.

That’s all for this week. Next week is the first of two new Wonderland pieces with Chae and Skitter. See you next Friday for the reveal!
