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.

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

Is it deja vu? No it’s another flashback. Isn’t a flashback pretty much deja vu? Well uhhh…It’s Friday! (nice recovery…)

Deema’s back as this week dressed up as a superhero from the DC Universe, but not the one she was dressed as originally. I had little to no interest in drawing the Miss Martian costume again, so I decided to go with a new outfit this time around. As always, click on a picture to enlarge it.

Black Canary is known for her Canary Cry, so I played around in Photoshop to see what kind of effect I could add to represent that.

And finally, a comparison with the original mash-up.

That’s all for this week. Next week Barnaby will be here and he’ll be angry. Hopefully you’ll like him when he’s angry.

Greetings Friday Fans! It’s your favorite day of the week and here I am ready to do my best to make Friday just a little bit better with a Flashback.

It’s Red Rich as Hawkeye this week. Hawkeye is one of my favorite Marvel characters if only because he’s an archer. Normally Todrick would have been the one to play the archer, but at the time I had just drawn him as Green Arrow recently and wanted to try something different. I played around with light sources this week based on the original picture of Hawkeye I used as a model for the pose and costume. It looked like there was one light below and to the right and another above and to the left, so that’s what I tried to do here. Red Rich has never looked as muscular.

And here’s the comparison to the original picture. The original costume was fairly detailed for what I was doing at the time but no drawstring on the bow.

That’s all for this week. Next week, Deema returns as somebody new!

It’s Friday folks! I’m going to Quebec City today. But before that can happen we have to start our Friday right with a flashback!

When I drew the first Star Trek mash-ups back in 2012, I thought it’d be nice to feature the uniforms from each of the different time periods we see in the various Trek shows and movies. When I got to Barnaby and Zoë, I’d run out of uniforms. I didn’t want to do the variants of the Next Generation uniforms as appear in Deep Space Nine and Voyager. I therefore chose to do a Romulan uniform for Zoë and a Klingon uniform for Barnaby. I wasn’t keen on redoing the Romulan uniform but it turned out alright. I’m not crazy about the colour. This is one of those pieces where it may be worth clicking to enlarge just to see the detailing on the belt and buckles.

Here’s the comparison to the original piece. I prefer the metallic sheen on the original piece actually. The stills from the show I used for the new piece showed that the actual uniforms were made of cloth, not metal like the design sketch I used to base myself on for the original.

That’s all for this week! Next week will feature an Avenger! But which one? You’ll find out Friday!

Flashback Friday: Shipwreck

It’s Friday! Time to look into the recent past and pull out something new. It’s flashback time!

A couple of weeks ago, I hinted that Todrick was coming up in the flashbacks and asked if anybody had any guesses as to who he would be dressed up as. CC guessed Shipwreck and I told her soon but not then. Well soon is now! Here he is, Ship-rick! Accompanying him is Popkin as Polly. As always, click on a picture to enlarge it.

Shipwreck

I love making new Joe cards. Here’s Ship-rick’s!

And finally, the comparison with the original mash-up. The original was based on a panel from the Marvel G.I.JOE comic because I wasn’t ready to try the card art at the time. I used the same solution for the hat both times. I just couldn’t get it to sit right over both ears.

That’s all for this week! Next week, Zoë comes back out to play! Have a good weekend!
