Hey all, long-time lurker, first-time poster. Thought I'd display some of my GI Joe-related work here:
A couple of mouse-drawn pics (this was from around 3 years ago, before I saved up enough to buy a decent tablet): Some photomanipulation work, mostly to serve as concept art for some planned custom figures that are based on my idea of a "more realistic" (or at least more adherent to current military uniforms and equipment) GI Joe team (most of the original photos were taken from various action figure hobby sites and online stores): Duke concept image: Snake-Eyes concept image: All manner of comments welcome! |

Interesting. These would make great designs for the actual movie pre-production character development phase.

I've seen the stills and the trailer for the upcoming film... I honestly don't know how to feel about it all. Part of me is pretty annoyed at the design choices (FN F2000s as the standard assault rifle? Accelerator Suits? A Snake-Eyes costume reminiscent of Batman & Robin's be-nippled rubber suit abomination?) but there's also a part of me (the eternal 10 year old part) that's thrilled that we're finally getting a live-action GI Joe film... I remember when talk of a live-action Joe film first surfaced back in the mid-1980s... Larry Hama was talking about the possibility of casting Louis Gossett Jr. (who's probably in his late 60s or early 70s by now) as Roadblock. Man that was a long time ago. |

A couple more photoshopped custom figure concept designs:
Tunnel Rat notes: Decided to update his look a bit and go with more realistic/reasonable gear. He's got an EOD chest rig (it's basically a standard military chest harness that has a small fold-down work platform that also hides a tool compartment), an M14 Stand-Off Munitions Disruptor (basically a fancy name for a standard M14 rifle fitted with a scope, used by Army and USMC EODs and Combat Engineers to blow up unexploded ordnance, anti-personnel mines, and IEDs), and a stripped down bomb-suit. Of course, I used a pic of a young-ish Larry Hama for his face. Rock & Roll notes: Since I'd already designed Roadblock as a "light/medium" machine gunner (armed with an M60E4/MK 43 Mod 1), I figured it should logically follow that my Rock & Roll design would go down one level in terms of weapon weight, so here I've re-imagined him as a SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon) Gunner. |

Nice work on the images. My one complaint is that they have way too much gear on, they all look overloaded (especially Stalker).
