Good Wednesday to you all! It is a day of mashing and upping, mash-upping even! Let us begin!

The Guardians of the Galaxy theme continues this week as it will for the next few weeks. Have I mentioned how much I loved the movie?

Todrick is here as Drax the Destroyer, who was played by Dave Bautista, a professional wrestler. As much as I like wrestling, I can’t say I’ve ever been a big Batista (his wrestling name) fan and his casting worried me. I know he had the right look, but I was unconvinced about his acting chops. Well he turned out great. In fact, I really enjoyed Bautista’s performance. Drax’s elaborate tattoos caused me all kinds of problems. I tried to replicate the actual movie designs but was never satisfied with the result. Finally, I had to give up and just go with abstract geometric designs. As always, you can click on the picture to make it bigger. That way you can better see all the intricate buckles on his pants.

So that’s all for this week. Next week’s character only knows three words. Who is it and who will be playing him? That’s a secret until next Wednesday!

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)!

PowerRangers

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!

Good morning Flashback Friday Fans! How do I know you’re fans? Well you’re here aren’t you? Sure you could have just followed some random link to end up here, but I prefer to think you’re all fans so don’t take that away from me! 🙂

Rumor has it that the Dark Side has cookies and I think that’s what attracted a young fox to become Darth Todrick. If only he’d had a conversation with Cookie Monster who recently debunked the myth. Anyway, here’s the reimagining of Todrick as Darth Vader. One thing about colouring with blacks is that I have to use varying shades of black throughout the costume and then when I shade them, they all turn out looking pretty similar which makes me wonder why I bothered. It’s really the shading that sells the different materials anyway. As always click on a picture to enlarge it.

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up.

So this week we have a Dark Lord, but next week, we have a GOD! Who is it? Come back next Friday to find out! Write in your guesses in the comments!
