Happy Halloween everybody! Y’all ready for some candy? Well, let’s start with some candy for the soul: a flashback of course!

It’s time for the Avengers to assemble once again. As always, click on a picture to enlarge it.

Zoë got the short end of the stick in the Avengers mash-ups. I ran out of characters and set her as Nick Fury who didn’t have a very exciting costume. In retrospect, even Agent Maria Hill’s costume (which Deema wore when I added her later) was better. She was also drawn last that night, which meant I wasn’t as into it as I was some of the others. This time around, the result is better, if still a little bland.

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

That’s all for this week! Next week, back to Star Wars it is (that’s a clue, that is). Have a good weekend everybody!

Greetings programs! Welcome to our little slice of the computer. Hope you’re in the mood for a mash-up!

This week concludes the Guardians of the Galaxy theme of mash-ups. It’s been a fun ride. As always, click on the picture to enlarge it.

Nektara gets to close things out as a member of the Nova Corps. As the chest plate is the central part of the costume, I’m pleased that it turned out so well.

That’s it for this week. Next week, a new theme begins! A preview sketch went up on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. Did you recognize it? Find out next Wednesday!

It’s Friday morning. I ate too much last night and slept poorly. Fortunately, I know the perfect remedy: Flashbacks! Let’s go!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…it’s a Star Wars flashback. It’s been a while, huh? Remember to click on a picture for a close-up. I think it’s worth it this week.

Sass had to be Threepio because she wouldn’t let anybody else touch a costume made of Shinies. Of course, that meant Mouser would have to be Artoo. I am so very happy with how this one turned out. The colouring is some of my best work yet.

Sass-and-MouserNot that they obscure each other all that much, here they are separately. It does allow for a closeup of Mouser as Artoo.

Every time I finish colouring a mash-up, I like to see how it looks without the line work. I thought the Sass piece looked kinda nifty so I wanted to share it.

And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. They look almost identical, right? 😉

That’s it for this week. Star Wars will be back soon, though next week is an Avengers interlude. Have a great weekend folks!

Hello everybody! It seems we survived Tuesday to get to Wednesday. Yay us! Let’s celebrate with a mash-up.

This is the penultimate Guardians of the Galaxy installment. As always, you should click on the picture if you wish to see it enlarged.

Last week I mentioned that I almost cast Zoë as Yondu but put her as Nebula instead. That left Deema as the most logical choice to play Yondu. She has a nice round head that works well for the character.

That’s all for this week. Next week, Nektara closes things out for the Guardians theme. Who will she be? Come back next Wednesday to find out!

Hey diddle diddle to folks with a fiddle and a fine howdy-doo to the rest of ya! It’s Friday morning and time for everybody’s favorite feature, Flashback Friday! Let us flash on the past, okay?

This week’s flashback takes us to Earth’s future. That’s right it’s a Star Trek week. Remember to click on pictures that you want to enlarge.

The Star Trek theme started out strong, but near the end, I ran out of different uniforms to use. For Nektara I chose to use the uniforms worn in Enterprise, the prequel of sorts. The uniform is mostly just a basic blue jumpsuit, nothing flashy. Not a lot of fun to draw. Oh well, it’s done now.

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

That’s all for this week. Next week’s flashback is gold folks! Pure gold! See you next Friday for the reveal!
