Created a few new brushes in photoshop, and used this as an opportunity to test them out.

ROBOT VERSUS VIKING by Adam Rosenlund

Kept it fast and loose with this one. Can you tell that I've been playing Skyrim?

STNG Poster: The Best of Both Worlds by Adam Rosenlund

Sorry I haven't been at it for a while, but I've been working on a lot of different things as of late trying to get ready for NYCC this week, so I haven't had time for anything other than that. However, Rich probably would kill me if I didn't have something in for his topic, so I managed to squeak this one in under the wire. I'm not super knowledgeable about STNG, but I'm sure this one will ring a few bells.

Macho Man Randy Savage by Adam Rosenlund

Went with a different approach this week and did an homage to this classic Japanese woodcut print using Macho Man. Wrestling is pretty much just kabuki theater anyways. A lot of the facial expressions are the same.

Explodar by Adam Rosenlund

Sorry for the delay. My gallery show opened this weekend, so I've been mega busy playing catch up from that. Anyways, here's a bio i whipped up for this dork:

"Explodar is an extradimensional being of pure energy. Using an ancient manuscript from the library of Eldar, Skeletor summoned Explodar to Eternia to do his evil bidding. Unbeknownst to him, Explodar was a benevolent being and had no interest in helping Skeletor wage war against the Masters of the Universe. Cast out by Skeletor using a spell from the same manuscript that brought him, Eldar floated across the dark plains, struggling to maintain his form, forever cut off from his home dimension. He was detected by Man-at-Arms, who was able to pick up communication from Explodar via the radio on the wind raider. Returning with him to the castle, Man-at-Arms fashioned a containment suit for Explodar, allowing him to channel his fantastic energy powers in the service of good."

I haven't nailed all the physical details down on this guy yet, but I think I may enter him in the contest. He uses some of the normal parts, like the loincloth, some of Man-at-Arms' armor pieces, as well as Roboto's gloves and lower legs. He has a custom head and torso, which show some Kirby dot energy action going on, probably in some kind of lenticular sticker.

AAAAAALLL ABOARD.

Killer Croc by Adam Rosenlund

I was going to do Professor Pyg, but since Rick already did one, I decided to hash out some beef I have with the way Killer Croc is portrayed in the comics. I really dislike him being portrayed as a gigantic lizard. Tail, long jaw, plated scales, et al. It's stupid. I like the character better as a big dude with a really bad genetic disorder, like hyperkeratosis. So I drew him like that. If everyone else at DC could please just follow that example when making style guides for the relaunch version of Croc instead of going the T-Rex in a trenchcoat route, I'd appreciate it. They can even put him in a V-collar shirt and segmented armor like the rest of the redesigned characters since that seems to be their thing now.

Eric Schuster by Adam Rosenlund

There's only two things you need to know about Eric:

1.) He likes cats
2.) He needs to get his ass to Mars.

I had to rush again thanks to being crazy busy with other projects, but hopefully things should settle down after these hectic two weeks two weeks two weeks two weeks twoo weeeks twoooo weeeeeeeks twoooooo weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkksssssssssssssssssss

Adam Rosenlund as Wolverine, by Josh Purple

:D  Heh, heh, heh!   Forgive me Adam!  This was VERY fun!    I'm guilty of having to do this rather fast (I'm heading out of town tomorrow).  I did this on my big newsprint sketch pad in black crayon :) .

Adam, I'll be honored to send you this cartoon if you want it!  Send me your mailing address and I'll send this to you :) .

Thank You Adam!  And Thank You Josh, excellent theme this week!!

Edit:

Josh recommended a photo to give scale, so here's a little more (ugly) fun :)

Spider-Man Villains: Chameleon by Adam Rosenlund

Had the idea of Chameleon as a paper doll with other Spider-Man supporting characters as the pieces that adorn the doll. I was planning on doing more heads, plus various shirts and pants combos, but time got the better of me, so a few heads is all I could get to.

Etrigan by Adam Rosenlund

Smoke 'em if you got 'em. And by 'em, I mean whatever it is inside of your throat that allows you to spit napalm at people. Chud ducts? That's probably the name.
