Thanks.
I've overhauled all of the images I've made for the GI Joe document personnel files. It's only recently that I've been able to properly tune my new netbook's HD video chipset to output accurate colours on the Samsung LCD TV that I use as my home computer monitor, and once I'd done so, all the horribly uneven blacks and grays in those images wouldn't let me sleep. Anyway, to see the newly revised GI Joe images, either click on the GI Joe & Cobra concepts link in my signature or go to my Photobucket account here, (although the Cobra images in both locations are still pre-colour tuning). Alternatively, you can see them in the latest revised edition of the GIJOE Organizational Document, available below: Major changes/improvements include:
Thank you to all who've looked and read through the documents and pictures (over 3700 total readers on Scribd, and up 4000 monthly views of the Photobucket images during the past two months). Comments, of course, are always welcome. Still working on the Cobra counterpart document. Last edited by zuludelta; 09-14-2010 at 05:12 PM..

Getting better every time I read it, Zulu. I did notice, however, that you have five Scouts on your LRS Team 2 (Flash, Sci-Fi, Footloose, Crankcase, Dusty) and only three Scouts on LRS Team 1 (Zap, Clutch, Short-Fuze). I thought this might be a typo. Was Flash supposed to be on LRS 1 instead of 2?

Thanks Troy.
Also, thanks for the catch Tanksmasher, I missed that. The 1st LRS team is supposed to be Grunt, Zap, Short-Fuze, Clutch, and Flash. The 2nd LRS team is sort of desert-oriented, with Outback, Dusty, Crankcase, Footloose (and as a throw-in) Sci-Fi. I'll put up the corrections as soon as I can.

Getting back in the swing of things, Cobra-style:
Crimson Guard, Eel, Croc Master Design notes:
Thanks for looking! |

The Crimson Guards head is weird. I think some of the fantasy elements of the Cobras are going to look weird no matter how hard you try.
I always though the Eels speargun shot a harpoon and the lower part unreeled a cord. Croc Master looks wicked. Good Job.

Thanks. I wanted to exclude him (he almost falls into the "too weird/fantastical" category with the BATs and Cobra-La) but felt like I needed to make him work since I'd already done so with Crystall Ball, another one of those borderline supervillain-ish characters from 1987. As important as his appearance is though, I think the file card I'll eventually write will do just as much to ground the character in a more plausible reality. |

Croc Master Is bad ass! The head gear looks a little cumbersome, but since he looks so huge I think he can handle it. Plus the fantasticalness (Is that a word?) of his character can only be matched by something that looks like this. His original design has him with some sort of breathing aparatus which is not connected to any kind of tank whatsoever.
The Eel is excellent all around. (I always hated spear guns for all the divers) Not sure how I feel about the Crimson Guard. Maybe something more Waffen SS would add to the look. It seems a little plain. Maybe no bloused pant legs, but maybe the sidearm on the leg? I think it needs something. I'm thinking Nazi Kroenen from Hellboy. It could be that the image of the CG we are use to has a head which is smaller than is normal when you consider he is wearing a helmet. I don't want to criticize Z I love all your work. Maybe lengthen the coat a tad?

Looking good, z. I dig everything except the helmet on the Crimson Guardsman. As a ceremonial look I guess it makes sense. But it would make just as much if not more for there to be no mask, since their surgically altered, similar faces *are* their masks. Glad you're back.
