SNAKE EYES 25th animated card art

[Steel Brigade]

Hi!
As mentioned previously here on the HISS TANK, I plan on doing some Joe-Art for 2008, & came up with the concept of doing "animated style character design cards." Basically if I was designing a Joe cartoon, how I would make them look, based on the current toyline, then placed on a collectable type card. I would like to do one character a month represented from the 25th line (only characters in the toyline), & will try my best to do that, time provided. It's a good challenge for myself & hopefully you willl enjoy my artwork here on the HISS TANK. I started off with Hasbro's #1 Joe... Snake Eyes!!

Much like Hasbro, I love recolors, so here is 2 more versions of SE from the 25th!!

The next few I plan on doing in randomish order will be Cobra Commander, Duke, Scarlett, Storm Shadow, Destro, & the Baroness!! But any character from the 25th is game depending on who I want to try my hand at next! ^_-

Please let me know what you think, as feedback is always welcomed.

[OUTBACK]

[VIPER 48]

Awesome job on your art. It looks very professional and very cool...

[bvance74]

Holy Sh*t!!! That is beyond cool looking. Keep the quality work coming. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest.

I can only hope that the cartoon looks that good. Let's card up a Snake-Eyes and send it to AFA to get graded. Hahahahaha! Seriously though, Dope!

[RedEyes]

Awesome man!! Keep em coming!

[Warrant Officer Flint]

Wow!!! Those rock on ice!! Now it is time for you to draw Flint... =)

[DaViper]

very nice! I think it would be awesome to see a cartoon with your animation style!

[estanley1974]

Amazing....wish there was more GI Joe art to buy.....Do you do commissions? If so, what do you charge?

[PREACHER007]

[AirborneRigger]

[Steel Brigade]

Thank you all so much for the positive feedback & complimets everyone!! I really appreciate all of you taking the time to comment!!

Wow.......................... truthfully told when I opened the thread up I quickly scrolled down and saw the artwork before I even read your post. I jumped out of my seat thinking that this was the design of the new cartoon. Hasbro seriously needs to check out your designs. they are phenomenal! So for any Hasbro Moles on these boards, this is how you do it! Great job, keep them coming.

[G.I.Eddie]

these are great!...i love the black/brown combo..

maybe you should go for the original thirteen first?

[Steel Brigade]

WOW Caliburn that's a HUGE compliment!! THANKS A LOT!! What a dream job that would be!! To actually design the new cartoon!! ^_^

Thanks GI Eddie, that's a great idea, but Hasbro has to give us all the original 13 1st in 25th toy form!! But I am sure I will get to all 13 as they are released!! ^_-

As far a my current planned order, it will most likely be Cobra Commander next, then Duke...

Hey, did you do the Scarlett pic avatar too? Any chance we could see that?

Hey, did you do the Scarlett pic avatar too? Any chance we could see that?

Yes I did draw the Scarlett in my avatar, she is a "headshot" only & was made specifically as my avatar & is featured on my artblog. And thankfully, it has been very popular around here. ^_^

For a full body Scarlett like this Snake Eyes, she will be showing up in the coming months in this card format as she is easily one of my favorite Joes!!
