Hello! It’s Wednesday Mash-up time! Let’s get to the mashing!

The Star Wars theme is already back to a close this week. That’ll pretty much be the modus operandi for the next while. Remember to click on a picture to enlarge it.

So Chae got the plum role of Wedge Antilles, my favorite ancillary character from the original trilogy.

That’s all for this week. What theme will return next week? You’ll find out on Wednesday!

Sweet Six it’s time for the last flashback! I can’t believe it’s finally here! Let’s get right to it.

Our last theme is Star Wars. It’s been such an important part of my life growing up, it’s kind of fitting. As always, click on a picture and you’ll get to see it again only bigger!

Popkin of all characters is the one to close things out as Chewbacca. Why Popkin and not a flashier design to close the flashbacks out with a bang? Honestly, it’s because I almost forgot him and so I stuck him on at the end. Sorry about that ol’ bird. Have a jar of gherkins on me!

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

And that’s it for the flashbacks. Maybe someday I’ll feel the urge to revisit some of those middle mash-ups. I know I can do them better but they weren’t nearly as bad as the first sets. For now I’m ready to move on to something else that’s different yet the same. The new strip series featuring the Pickle Patch Bandits starts next Friday! I hope to see you all then!

Good time period gentles. I hope the day is finding you well. If not, perhaps this mash-up will lighten your day. If so, then may this only make it better!

What’s old is new! As I said a while back, the new theme is bringing newer characters into old themes. This week we start with Star Wars. As always, click on the picture you’d like to enlarge.

Skitter is here to start us off as Wicket W. Warrick. He’s adorable, right?

That’s all for this week. Next week, Chae is going to grace us with her presence. Who will she be flying as? Come back on Wednesday to find out!

Hello Flashback Friends. It’s Friday, isn’t it wonderful? I’ve been ready for Friday since Tuesday and finally it’s here. The first step towards having a good Friday is to do a flashback and here’s mine!

It’s already Star Wars time again. That was quick. I have quite a few repeat themes coming up as we enter the final stretch of flashbacks. As always, a click will enlarge the picture.

Deema as Yoda came about since Yoda is green and so is Deema. Not very deep reasoning huh? In case it’s not entirely clear from the picture, she’s wearing fake ears with plastic wraps that rest on her antennae.

Deema

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. Deema’s head has rounded out a wee bit wider over time.

That’s all for this week. Next week’s flashback will be here in a flash…or a week. Probably a week.

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!
