Time to prepared to become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Darth Cthulhu has the power to cloud men's minds and make inky, which makes it tough to sense those force disturbances. Not blanching!
Darth Meduscious........a name of fear and dread that has spread it's way across the reaches of the galaxy, like a virus, like a plague. And now that plague has intersected the path of Darth Cthulhu!
My quick 60 minute version of a sith went from a very Borg like appearance to a more Medusa like apperance. I was unhappy with what I had, so quickly erased and came up with this. Cthulhu Sith beware!!
Laying in his primeval shelter for months now......come on cryptids get hang nails too! Barmanu finally emerges to fight after his long cold silence. Within him is a fury that is unleashed. AghGHHHH.....BARMANU!!!
How did they find themselves face to face when their territories are half a world apart? It's wild man versus devil. While the wild man is smaller than a Yeti, it still has considerable strength. When found off and grappling in the air, only one can persist while the other suffers gravity's dominion.
Forgive my long absense due to my search for the strange and unknown in parts far and away. Pictured above is a fantastical illustration of the Jersey Devil. Is it the Leed's family cursed hellspawn? A long extinct flying dinosaur? The Sandhill crane? A Hammerhead bat? A Great horned owl? Who knows? But Beware. Mr. Shear, I await your worst.
Mr. Shear and I each will be picking a cryptozoological creature (or cryptid) or a modern monster of legend and then pit them in battle against each other. This is for creatures from a more modern era (i.e. reported in newspapers or other modern media). With cryptids it seem like there's more of a possibility of them being real while monsters of urban legend are much less so. Some monsters may fit into either category ("Bigfoot" or "Nessie" for example). In the end, I think something more unreal is much more fun to render ... and rend asunder.
Master of weapons, ninja special, assassin extreme......they don't add up to much when a two ton clay monster makes play doh on your face.
This battle is long overdue, so it's going to be down and dirty, in the sewer. Sure, Clayface may look a bit more like doody instead of clay. Or maybe a little shiny, like my lower intestines. Purely unintentional. But it does add to the atmosphere, doesn't it? It's the battle down below (in my pants -- Thanks H. Birdman), just like when I have tacos from the local street cart.
In honor of the new Batman movie, this challenge is to pick a villain from the rogues' gallery to do battle. I choose you Clayface! Who knows what shape I'll assume to pummel Jared's choice into oblivion? Give me a hug!
General George is #1 in the history books and #1 on the mat for a reason. He throws some serious SMACK down on the Electric Benjamin giving him a throat full of mister pretty.
While Ben Franklin was a scientist and philospher, he sometimes turned to his greatest assets, his twin muskets -- he called temperance and tranquility -- to debate a point. Feel the savagery of the wild turkey!
In celebration for the upcoming Independence Day holiday, it's time for two of our founding fathers to grapple for liberty, pro-wrestling style. In one corner, General, first President of the United States and cherry tree assassin, gorgeous George! In the other corner, author, printer, inventor, the lord of lightning, the renaissance man, my gout buddy, brutal Benjamin! Ding!
After letting the Mark I tickle him with flame throwers and his other accouterments, the Mark III flies him up to the stratosphere.......and drops him.
Instead of depicting the Mark III armor soundly trouncing the gray, movie armor, this layout was ripped from an old-timey Marvel comics battle pose. Feel the power!
I picked the Mark I armor from the movie. The great thing about this armor is it captures the look of the gray armor in the comics, but looks like it was hastily put together from anything they could find. As far as it being a challenge against other armor, well...
I donned the Mark III Early 90's version of the suit used in Armor Wars II. Iron Man has so many cool suits, but I always come back to the classic red and gold.....and for me, Armor Wars II had me hooked.
To celebrate the new movie, the challenge is to pick your favorite Iron Man armor, from comics or movie, draw it and do battle against the apposing armor the next week. The art above is a cover from the first Iron Man comic I read when I was a kid. I was hooked after that.
