403 – When I Left You I Was Okay With Being the Learner…
Hey it’s Wednesday! I almost forgot. I have a day off today and it feels like a weekend, even though I have to go back to work tomorrow. Anyway, let’s get to today’s mash-up!
Julius Caesar is of course, the leader of the Roman Empire that conquered Gaul. All of it? No, there’s one village that continues to resist the Romans and it irks Caesar to no end. He’s continually hatching schemes to try to complete his conquest.
So I chose Big Oonch to play Caesar. I thought the laurels would be an interesting way to hide his eyes. What do you all think?
That’s all for this week. Next week, we’ll take a look at the brewer of the Gaul’s magic potion. See you then!
399 – The Two Lines Connect
Greetings Animus-fans! Welcome to the Wednesday Mash-up, where I promise that it’s Wednesday (as I write this) and that there will be a mash-up somewhere in this post. Will it be after the third paragraph? Maaaaaaaybe.
This is the final week of Rebels mash-ups. It’s been quite the ride these past eleven weeks, adapting a new set of costumes to the anatomy of my characters. Some have worked really well. Others, sadly not so much. As always, click on the picture to see a closeup.
It’s sad that I’m closing on a piece that simply isn’t as strong as the others in the set. I had a big problem figuring out what to do with Big Oonch. I came close on several occasions to cutting Oonch out of the set, but I really wanted to do something for the whole cast. I’d already gone through all the main characters and a couple of the more unique designs of lesser characters. Vizago was the only character left in my mind…but try as I might, I couldn’t figure out a really good way to hide Oonch’s eyes. I thought I might do something with Vizago’s horns, but it just came off as creepy. Finally, I gave him the prosthetic brow that kinda casts a shadow over his eyes. Oh well.
That’s all for this week. Next week, it’s time for a new theme to begin. Come back next Wednesday for the reveal!
