I’m having a lot of problems updating the site lately, so I’m going to keep this short.
It’s more Krull this week.
Here’s Red Rich as Ergo the Magnificent! He’s short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose and wide of vision!
Next week will be more Krull!
Wednesday morning came and a mash-up rose upon the site. It was a Wednesday occurrence!
It’s more Krull this week! It’s proving to be a challenging series of mash-ups, because I’m not finding super clear pictures of the costumes to base myself on. The screen caps I took from the movie aren’t as sharp as I’d like, so there’s a certain amount of fudging going on. I’m still liking the results though. As always, click on the picture to embiggen it.
Last week, I said Cyran was coming up next. Did any of you guess he’d be Torquil? I decided I wanted to give Cyran a chance to really look tough, as that’s not a look I usually go for with him. Most people who see him, assume he’s a girl (no eyelashes folks, that’s my defining characteristic for the girls). Anyway, Torquil has a great costume. I just obscured a big part of it by having Cyran hold his axe out in a battle ready position.
That’s it for this week. I asked a question on Facebook yesterday, Ergo or Cyclops? The answer was Ergo, so he’ll be next. Who’ll be playing him? Feel free to guess below. The answer will be revealed next week.
It’s Wednesday! It’s Wednesday! It’s Age of Animus Friends-day! The day of the week where we reward our faithful friends not with cash or jewels but with new mash-ups! That said, here’s this week’s reward!
I told you last week that I wasn’t finished with Krull and as you can see I wasn’t kidding! It’s my second-favorite movie from 1983 (the other being a little flick called Return of the Jedi) I have a whole series of Krull mash-ups planned. As always click on the picture to embiggen it.
This week, we have Nektara playing the female lead of the movie, Princess Lyssa. Lysette Anthony is so very, very pretty in this movie. It’s a shame they felt they had to dub her voice over with some other actress. I have to say, drawing beautiful wedding dresses is hard work. I didn’t even try to feature the embroidery. The pictures I captured from the movie weren’t sharp enough to really get a feel for them and to be honest, I don’t think I’d have done it justice. I hope I did enough to at least suggest this is a wedding dress. It’s white, right? 🙂
Next week, the mash-up will feature Torquil, one of the bandits who joins Colwyn on his quest to find the Black Fortress and rescue his future queen. But who will be playing him? The answer may surprise you!
No, you’re not imagining things! The Wednesday Mash-up is back with NEW mash-ups! This past weekend I got a surge of creative energy and I decided I wanted to do something new. Flashback Fridays will still be an ongoing feature. This just means TWO mash-ups per week instead of just one! What a bargain!!!
I don’t remember which came first this weekend: the idea to draw a Krull mash-up or the (unsuccessful) search to find a quality replica of the Glaive at a price I was willing to pay. One thing’s for sure, one definitely had an impact on the other. Whichever came first, the result is this week’s new mash-up! Let’s get to it! As always, you can click on a picture to embiggen it.
I chose Todrick for the role of Colwyn because I thought the red fur would add some nice colour to the mostly black costume. The biggest challenge was to find quality reference pics online. I ended up needing several. I like to think the end result was worth the searching.
I’m not done with Krull yet. I was in a Krull mood after finishing this piece so I put the DVD in the ol’ PS3 and watched it, keeping an eye out for good shots I could use as references for future mash-ups. If I could find that Glaive, I might even be tempted to try my hand at cosplay again.
