Hey folks! It’s Wednesday! Let’s get to the mash-ups!

Last week we started to look at the cult favorite TV show, Firefly, focusing on the crew of Serenity. This week, we’ll conclude that look with the rest of the cast.

Inara Sass is a Buddy. That is, she’ll be your friend for Shinies (had to clean up her profession for an all-ages site). I think I managed to give her a certain elegance here. I’m glad about that.

Shepherd Wrench is a fur who turned to the Bible for guidance after some dark times in his past. Naturally, he keeps those a secret, but every once in a while, he lets slip some useful information that a shepherd shouldn’t normally be privy to.

Oonch Tam is a doctor. Top three percent of his class even though Todrick isn’t totally convinced of his smarts. He’s totally dedicated to the protection of his sister whom the Alliance is determined to get back. I’m a little disappointed with how he turned out. I used a brush that was a little too thin to ink him. Otherwise, he’s solid. Simon wears sunglasses in just ONE scene the very first time he’s seen in Firefly, but it gave me something to cover his eyes. So yay for that!

Deema Tam is a little off-kilter. Nobody knows exactly what the Alliance did to her. She’s a brilliant girl. She sees things before they happen and it terrifies her. It’s weird drawing Deema looking unhappy, but I made up for it in the poster.

That’s it for this week folks. Next week, new theme!

Hey there folks! It’s Wednesday and you know what that means! Time for new mash-ups!

This week we conclude our visit on Eternia with the final batch of Masters of the Universe villains. As always, click to embiggen.

For the heroes, I cast Todrick as He-Man. It follows then, that for the villains, he’s Faker. I don’t know how anybody was supposed to confuse the blue guy for He-Man. Maybe Eternians have a special kind of colour blindness where blue and tan look the same colour? Anyway, I think Todrick actually looks pretty good in blue.

Next is Barnaby as Beast Bear. Hear his mighty roar! Beast Man was the first Masters of the Universe action figure I ever saw. I really liked his red and blue colour scheme.  They remade his armor in a different colour in a weapons pack (yellow I think) but it didn’t look as cool.

I mostly bought MotU figures based on their action features. Even though Tri-Klops’ special feature is just a ring around his head with eyes painted on, Tri-Klops is one of my favorite villains. There’s just something about his design. Tri-Klops’ eyes are red, blue and green. Who else for the part then, than Red Rich?

Finally, we have the Big Oonch as Zodoonch. There’s some debate as to whether Zodac (or Zodak) is actually a villain. His original action figure card said he was evil though, so that’s what I’m going with. I love his helmet.

So that’s it Masters of the Universe and Animus fans! Come back next week for a new mash-ups theme!

For the Honor of Furskull!

Welcome back to the Wednesday Mash-up folks.

This week we continue our look at the heroes of Eternia (and Etheria), the Masters of the Universe. As ever, click to embiggen.

First up, is Prince Todrick’s sister Princess Nektara. When she holds the Sword of Protection aloft and recites the words,”For the Honor of Furskull! I am She-Nek!” she transforms into She-Nek, the Princess of Power.

The mighty Oonchanek is a scout. He can extend his neck to see far ahead. I first drew Oonchanek with his neck extended, then I used photoshop to cut the head and place it on his shoulders. Easy-peasy.

Lizard at Arms’s adoptive daughter is Sassla. She is the king’s captain of the guard, charged with training Prince Todrick in the ways of battle. She doesn’t know that her disappointing charge is actually He-Fox.

Finally, we have Ram-Bear. Even though he’s slow-witted, Ram-Bear is a hero who likes to use his head…to knock things over. Shading-wise, I think he turned out the best of the heroes.

That’s all for the heroes of the Masters of the Universe and the mash-ups for this week. Come back next week when we look at the villains from Snake Mountain!
