Crossover: Dr. Bladels and Stinkis

Crossovers

I’m not sure how many of you got to know Dr. Snuggles, the warm-hearted hero in a world full of magic and technology. If you don’t, sorry, but you have missed out on something really unique! Watch it now, in a moment when you are really open for some weird stuff. His friend Dennis is a badger, he’s got a mouse friend, a robot, a space ship and so much more. Crossing him with Blade, the MOTU movie character, took a lot of his innocence, even though I only gave him a knife and an eye cap. In the comic, Dr. Snuggles appears to be much fitter than his body might make you think, so fear Dr. Bladels! Dennis became Stinkis, and he used to be a kind and handy friend. Stinkor is similar, maybe not looking friendly, but always helping. Obviously his odor causes some irritation, imagine the situation as introduction of the new assistant. There would be a *boing* sound in the cartoon. I managed to let the sun shine, and I’m proud of how the horizon looks realistic.

Toy review: King Randor

Toy review

Motu fans, which character is the closest to Santa? For sure the bearded King! Merry Christmas to all!

When you look at my picture, which again I took under UV light, you might get an idea why it is not my favorite figure. The golden crown and belt don’t reflect any UV light, so they are black. So does the face, which really looks like a Zombie. Arms and torso are made of different materials and do also not glow nicely. In fact there are many other things:

1. The blue robe didn’t survive the very first weeks when I got him. It is kind of nice, but very annoying in fight situations.

2. The spear, though it is golden, is still the same as Whiplashes. So the dumb crocodile monster guy has the same model as the king? That downgrades one of them.

3. The armor is very similar to Jitsu’s. Because my second hand Jitsu came without, he got it from Randor. Not sure why I didn’t put it on for the picture, but that is long ago. In fact, Jitsu’s armor has much more ornament on it.

4. This is about quality, the King’s weirdly tanned legs got moldy over the years. That happened only to very few figures.

Three little war pigs

Crossovers

I forgot one hand drawn picture! This should be the last now. It is not really a crossover from another cartoon, but somehow a crossover from a music video! See the video Green Jelly – Three Little Pigs and enjoy the music, the image I used is at 4’44! The three war pigs are Trapjaw, Triclops and Stinkor, and they are looking at Skeletor, who is the wolf in this story. He is bleeding, and we will never know what happened here.

Look at the shadows, have you ever thought Triclops’ head looks like a cowboy with a hat?

Very challenging for me: helicopter view, plus shadows. Oh and Skeletor’s face from the side…

Webstor, the really real spiderman!

Crossovers

“I want spiderman, I want him to be spider under his mask, and when I call him at night I want him to say spider things and nothing else!” Love JJJJr? Me too! One of the first sketches I colored in Sketchbook (on my phone!) is the famous kiss of Peter and Mary Jane. Imagine it turned out that Webstor is the hero in disguise! His face went well, I like the red eyes on dark blue. MJ’s mouth had to make up for a bit too much distance to Webstor’s mouth, so she has a strong chin… Please not the light/ shadow from the street light. I started this sketch with pencil until I had it, then used black felt tip pen to draw the contours and colored a picture of that in sketchbook.

Toy review: Clawful

Toy review

The first two reviews haven’t been too positive, sorry! Clawful is one example for a high quality character. Even after 30 years, the mechanism of the claw is working well, the shell is perfectly intact. The massive right claw is one highlight for me, able to open and close and so hold swords, wrists and other objects. The shell is indeed hard and round like a crab shell. That only appeared to me recently, I wonder if that was the intention?

His feet are duck like, with a matte, dark blue finish that wears off a little bit. They allow a very stable stand. His legs and arms have a fringe, that perfectly supports the impression of a crab. Not as worse as with King Randor, but visible, is some mold on the legs. Maybe it has to do with the shade, which is also brownish. The torso is this extreme muscular human, making him look like a human crab mutant.

The weak point of this figure is the head- by no means the quality, the material totally holds. It is more the design, and the choice of material that makes it look a bit funny. Too shallow for me, too soft, so that it invites you to squeeze it. It also has some slack when you bend it, though it does not easily come off. His face is a bit like a pitbull`s, making him look really mean, except for the double nose maybe. Much better though than many cartoon variation of him. Good for him they didn’t try to add antennas!

His weapon is kind of a club, which never sits tight on his tiny left claw.

The UV light didn’t really change his colors, but it looks great! Sorry for the low quality picture!

Toy review: Extendar

Toy review

Extendar is a very special figure. To be honest I think he does not really fit into the old toyline. A white knight, half size taller than the rest, with thin extensions and large golden hands. The rubber bands of mine were a bit loose, so he never stood well and his arms used to drop. The foldable red shield didn’t close properly after a while. The golden paint wears off, and the legs are a bit moldy now, so in terms of quality my Extendar is clearly behind others. Oh and I just remember the squeaky sound it makes when you pull the arms.

I guess parents were happy about the design, which is very innocent. I can understand, that a Snakeface or Mantenna is not considered a valuable toy for kids. Extendar does not even carry a sword!

Crossover: Rick at Arms and Morko

Uncategorized

We are close to the end of my felt pen-phase! This is one of my favorites, because I love Rick and Morty! Orko is to me one one the easiest-to-draw Masters, so easy that I even forgot to give him a yellow shirt…

Rick at Arms has more of a crossover: He is wearing the lab coat, plus Man at Arm`s stuff, partly under the lab coat, partly above, for some reason. His hair is in the color of the helmet, but he got the cartoon-mustache in brown. Good thing is everything is possible for Rick, so no questions about the arms!

  • See that Morko?

Crossover: Adam the Schmadam

Crossovers

Oh man how much I struggle with faces! Yes, he got a bit cheeky on purpose, but Schmadam looks like the blonde baby king from GOT! He looks so mean, but he loves his cat, look how he is grooming his snoot! Note how Schmadam holds the edge of his bubble. I really went 3D here. The character Dennis was so different from Adam, compare both cartoons! Same for Ruff and Cringer, it is as if those roles were mixed-up, who is the one protecting Eternia, and who is the 5 years old boy? This crossover was a lot of fun and brought back some 80s memories to me. Cringer was surprisingly easy to draw, but Schmadam’s right arm is an upsi.

Crossover: Leashor the frog

Crossovers

Another early piece. Tung Leashor fits well into Kermit’s shape, because he is more of a frog-man than a snakeman. The hands (!), the patterns, the long tung, all fits well, and it made me admire how Mattel nevertheless managed to give Tung Leashor an evil look. In my Table of skills Tung Leashor is a 190kg beast, here he is a baby muppet!

Kermit as baby version was rather easy to draw, he’s even got a happy face expression. Even the green snake on his chest looks cute.

I was using pastel text markers for the background. The whole sketch looks a bit rushed, because I was already thinking of the next! So many crossovers to come, wait for it!

Crossover: Rammy

Crossovers

Yes, I tried any crossover that came to my mind, why not?! Gummy bears was a great cartoon with fantastic ideas. I’m sure I’ll try a crossover again. That one was the first, and somehow I forgot to add more Ram Man features while drawing. Of course Tummy the bigger bear is a good fit for our jumping hero, but hell, how could I forget the green legs? The sandals must have taken all my attention. I do like the crossover from the very shy bear and the trough-the-wall Ram Man. Imagine how he would excuse himself while smashing Snake Mountain.
