Greetings, HissTank.com!
My name's Kris, I'm an illustrator that after a long absence of actually getting stuff done has just returned to fan-art on the intarwebs. I'm new here and you'll see me in the Fan Art forum posting up any new art (GI Joe related, of course) I end up doing. My art style is very heavily influenced by western animation styles and in whatever art I do, I go into it with the fake scenario that I'm doing it as if I was in charge of character design for an animated series of whatever I'm doing art of. I just started back up with the art-thing and the first piece I've done is my take on the Iron Grenadier incarnation of Destro (which I've also used his head as my avatar) Here he is: http://deathwind13.deviantart.com/ar...estro-71795057 Please check it out, let me know what you think, I hope you like my take on my fave incarnation of Destro. There are 2 crappier GI Joe related art pieces way back in the DeviantArt archive, but they suck. (A so-so but too tall Sgt. Slaughter and a really broke-ass afwul stretched out classic Destro, these were test pieces and they SUCK) So far IG Destro is the only new Joe related art I have up, but more characters to follow VERY soon (got a few in the works as we speak) I will be getting more GI Joe related artwork done continuously in the near future (Joe was part of my "toy/cartoon holy trinity" as a child along with Transformers and Masters of the Universe) and I hope you'll enjoy what I have to show you :-) I do art of other things than GI Joe, but it will be one of my more frequent subjects. Long-winded post is long-winded (I have a habit of it sometimes, apologies in advance) - Kris

To be honest, I'm not really crazy about that style (I thought it was cool when I first saw them do it w/ Batman because it was different, but I didn't think it'd take over every other cartoon)...maybe this is the reason why I think your other Joe examples are just as good.
Sgt Slaughter has always been an exaggeration in my eyes and you really bring it out. I particularly like how you gave a Roman-like chisel to your IG Destro. Even if I'm not a fan of the style, I think it's awesome work and I'll definitely keep an eye out to see if/when other spins on favorites show up in your collection (like Zartan, hint, hint)!

i tend to be a fan of all artistic styles, except anime...i like seeing different spins on the same subject matter...this is really cool Kris...
i like all the stuff you've done...although a little on the more kid'ish side, i'd watch a Joe cartoon in this style...the Sarge and Classic Destro are equally as cool as your IG Destro...i'm really dig'n the Superheros too Last edited by G.I.Eddie; 12-11-2007 at 09:59 AM.. |

That is some very cool work. I could get behind a show done in that style, I think. Great stuff, keep it coming.

Welcome Kris!! This picture of Destro is OUTSTANDING!! The color choice & balnce is just great & I love the weight the figure has... I totally relate to everything you said about your Cartoon/Toy Trinity, & designing a project for Joes like you were in charge of the character design for a new animated series, as I think the exact same way... I drew my Scarlett Avatar, & will be doing a project similar to yours in 2008 for GI Joe, & I very much look forward to you works!!
