Hello and welcome to the Wednesday Mash-up. You will know it is time to turn the page when you hear R2-D2 beep like this. *beep* Let’s begin now!

The League of Legends theme continues this week. As always click on the picture to enlarge it.

For Barnaby I wanted someone who looked big and strong. That’s why I went with Tryndamere. The problem of course is that Tryndamere is so massive and Barnaby, while tall, is still pretty narrow at the shoulders. It turned out alright.

That’s all for this week! Next Wednesday will be Sass’s turn.

Happy Friday everybody! Time for another flashback! Enjoy!

“Truck full of good eats huh?”
“What’s it to you, Jack?”
“I’m hungry, I’m a gourmet chef and the name’s not Jack, it’s ROADBLOCK! I’m with G.I.JOE!”

This is a scene from G.I.JOE: The Revenge of Cobra mini-series. I couldn’t help quoting the last line repeatedly as I was drawing today’s flashback. Remember to click on pictures to enlarge them.

So yeah, Barnaby is here as Roadblock, a fun character who went on to be played by The Rock in the second live-action Joe movie. I’m more partial to the original animated series myself and of course, all the flashbacks are based on the original card art. On a side note, Barnaby always gets the huge honkin’ guns.

Roadblock

Here’s his action figure card.

And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. But wait, those aren’t the same characters! That’s right. The first time around, Barnaby was Bazooka, a character I chose because he’s not the brightest bulb on the Joe Christmas tree. The pose from Bazooka’s card art was frustrating me and to be honest, Bazooka is one of my least favorite Joes, so I just decided to switch characters. Sorry Bazooka fans.

That’s all for this week. Have a good weekend everybody!

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.

Good morning gentles, it’s Friday the day where leprechauns and unicorns unite to produce mash-up flashbacks. I bet you didn’t know that’s how they were made huh? Me neither. My brain is weird sometimes (most of the time).

So Star Trek…yeah. Nothing to say that hasn’t been said already. Just click on a pic to enlarge it.

When I did the original mash-ups, I was running out of unis to put the cast in. That’s when I decided that Barnaby could be a Klingon and later that Zoë would be a Romulan. I was less enthused to revisit those ideas this time around. The results are alright though.

Barnaby-Klingon

Here’s the comparison with the original mash-up. Obviously I chose a different set of Klingon armor for Barnaby this time around. That was mostly just so I could try something new. There can be so many variations. I was surprisingly elaborate with the colours in the original.
