Hoo boy! It’s Wednesday morning and my back is not happy with me. I need to work on my posture because this is not fun. A mash-up would help though, so let’s share one!

More Guardians of the Galaxy this week of course. As always, click on the picture to enlarge it.

It was clear to me that Barnaby was going to be Groot. However, Groot is a tree-person and doesn’t wear any clothes. How was I going to do that? I decided that Barnaby would be wearing pieces of a tree costume. It’s not the strongest mash-up, but it serves the purpose.

That’s all for this week. Next week, we have the Guardians’ femme fatale. See you next Wednesday for the reveal!

Hey there folks! I know I said on Wednesday that the Power Rangers theme was finished (actually it’s still Wednesday as I’m writing this) but I have one last piece to share.

When I drew the individual Power Ranger mash-ups, I was going off one specific promo picture which you can view here. Why wouldn’t I offer the same group shot when they were all done? There’s no good reason why I wouldn’t do so, so here I am doing so. Enjoy (or don’t)!

Looking back, if I’d wanted a little more symmetry, I’d have put Red Rich and Todrick as the Black and Blue Rangers, Barnaby as the Green Ranger and Cyran as the Red Ranger. I drew Red Rich first though and at that moment I didn’t think I was going to draw the others. A lack of ideas for a follow-up theme at the time led me to do the rest and I filled in with other available cast members. I couldn’t use Big Oonch as the Black Ranger (to counterbalance Cyran as the Blue) because there was no practical thematic way to hide his eyes short of making him wear the Power Rangers mask, and it would have been weird for him to be the only one to do so.

Anyway! NOW we’re done the Power Rangers theme! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Hey there kool kats and kittens! It’s that time again so I’m taking a little break from drawing a new flashback to post this week’s installment.

Didn’t we just do an Avengers flashback a couple of weeks ago? Well it’s time for another one now!

It’s not easy being green. Especially when you’re normally brown. Just ask Barnaby who’s dressing up as the Incredible Hulk this week. It takes a lot of green fur paint and that stuff’s a real pain to wash out. The character builds don’t really look good with excessive musculature so I left Barnaby’s proportions as they are.

HulkHere’s a comparison with the original mash-up. It’s good enough for the time. The simple costume worked well with what I was doing at the time.

Avengers-Barnaby-TaN

And so that’s it. Next week, Sass is going to be back in one of my favorite of the original mash-ups!

Good morning! Or whatever time period it is for you. It’s Wednesday Mash-up time! I know you’re as excited as I am to get into this so let’s go!

More Power Rangers this week. When I did the Red Ranger last week I thought it might be a one and done kind of deal, but the following week, I wasn’t sure what to do next. so I just went on with the rest of the group.

This week, we have Barnaby as the Black Ranger. Anybody know what those things the Power Rangers have in their holsters are? I have no idea what they’re called.

That’s all I have for you next time. Another Power Ranger is coming at you next week. Feel free to guess who and what colour in the comments below! Have a great day!
