Well, it didn't take me another 2 years to make a new G.I.Joe-themed drawing. This one's special so I hope you all like it.
It's a very personal take on the characters, yeah. But you still recognize em, hmmm?

Okay, you officially rule. Love how subtle it is. It doesn't scream Destro at you until you get to know it.
That's art fair material my friend. Take it out to the boardwalk or something. Congrats. You got real talent. -PJ |

Awesome art!!!!!! BTW, I was watching some GI Joe on Youtube yesterday and I never realized as a kid that Destro's voice sounds very similar to Sean Connery, which was most liekly intentional since he is Scottish, too. I remember as a kid watching the show and my Mom always telling me that Shipwreck's voice sounded like Jack Nicholson.

a BIG thanks for all of your comments. They are much needed, appreciated and taken into account.
You folks picked up all of the details. Even the shape of the chair (indeed, it is shaped like Destro's logo). Maybe you also noticed the Baroness has a Cobra pin on her jacket. I didn't want her to be sporting her classic "femme fatale" costume, nor did I want her to be 100% Cobra-less. So I conceived her on a "masculine"/excecutive outfit and gave her a subtle Cobra pin as a reminder that she's still loyal to the Commander after all. Her heart may be with Destro, but her loyalty and/or ideals... that's another story. And then there's a painting on the back, behind Destro and the IGs - I guess that must be some ancestor of Destro. As for him looking like a 21 yrs old yale graduate: LOL! Good one. I'll admit I took the risk and based their faces on real people... but I did respect the fact that Destro's supposed to be scottish. So, I guess it's perfectly fine that he is pale and a redhead. Perhaps he looks too young? But I did give him enough wrinkles I think. He isn't young, nor old? :p I also didn't want him to be bald, because that's what most would expect. And yes, I see Destro as a "refined" gentleman, not a soldier (as much as he may have a strong code of honor and stuff). It isn't titled "Masks Off" because it is part of some series of "unmasked" drawings or something. It's the title of THIS particular piece. It talks about the masks we all wear... and how, sometimes, sooner or later, they are taken off. Willingly or not. For better or for worse. In this particular case, I guess I was trying to tell Destro and the Baroness the following: "Get over it already. You love each other - why keep the masks on? They've been "on" for too long" (?) Or something like that...
