My greatest love as a Creative is to play with unexpected or unusual genre mash-ups. I really don't know where this comes from other than it's just the way my brain works. It was not a stretch for my GI Joes to become Knights of Camelot back in the mid-late 1980s. It was not a stretch for my X-men knockoff characters to quickly transition from typical Marvel fare to super sci-fi adventures a la Star Wars meets Terminator. And it was not unusual for me to just naturally assume Rambo and all the other action heroes existed in the same universe.
When I decided to transition from toying with things as a hobbyist to making an earnest effort as an artist/writer Creative, my first series of creations were all genre mash-ups.
This pieces was just a fun idea that popped into my head last night, and I really needed the distraction. I did use some reference to get the styles correct, and relied heavily upon the classic X-men #100 cover to inform which characters were where in the image. It was fun to do, and I honestly hope people get a little chuckle out of it. I know not everyone will get all the references, but some special nerds out there (like me) will.
Enjoy!
