I’ve been waiting for Friday all week! It’s just been that kind of week, ya know? Now that it’s here, let’s celebrate with a flashback ‘kay?
I’m going back to Cobra’s ranks for this week’s mash-up. Revisiting the G.I.Joe line with Flint got me super jazzed so I immediately followed him up with another piece. You’re only seeing it now because I went back to show the flashbacks I’d jumped over to show Flint. Anyway, let’s get to him. As always, click on a picture to embiggen it.
It turns out it’s Cyran’s week! First he gets a new mash-up as Torquil from Krull and now he’s in the flashback as Destro. The drawing originally looked like he was heavily leaning to the left. I just rotated the picture until he was standing upright.
The new tradition for the Joe characters is to show their blister card. Here’s Destro’s. I slimmed it down from the first two so that the dimensions more closely resemble the real Joe cards. It’s fairly simple to move the elements around on the card to mimic the way things moved around on the real cards. The tricky part is designing the new elements like the yellow flash announcing Destyran the Enemy!
And finally, here’s the comparison piece. This time around, I had Cyran’s ears sticking out through holes in the mask instead of being encased by the mask as it just made more sense. By looking closer at the artwork, I was able to figure out Destro had grenades on his left wrist bracer.
That’s it for this week’s flashback. Next week’s flashback may not be purr-fect, but it’s pretty sweet! See you then!
