The Wampa Wumble Bumble


From The Line It Is Drawn, December 20th, 2019:
I had another theme, but Caanan just NEEDED to get his Baby Yoda on, so the theme for next week is to mash up Star Wars with Christmas movies/specials
Twitter follower, werehawk1 suggested: A Wampa as the Abominable Snowman.  I went with the Bumble from Rudolph and added in a couple of buddies.

Here's the latest challenge from the Masters of the Universe themed drawing challenge on Twitter, #MOTUdrawingchallenge hosted by @MOTUdrawing!

Meet Frosta, because I just did.  I'm not at all well versed in the characters of Etheria that populate She-Ra's series, but Frosta here is an ice princess of some sort.  I went with the old school version and had fun making this one.

Enjoy!

The Line It Is Drawn: Thanksgiving Leftovers!





Time to play a little catch up here as we observe the annual ritual of The Line It Is Drawn's Thanksgiving Leftovers!

As posted here, the pieces are as follows:

•  From The Line It Is Drawn, September 14th, 2019:
In honor of the release of It, Chapter Two, pick a famous comic book cover that you'd like to see our artists hide Pennywise within!
A twitter follower suggested: Iron Man 128


•  From The Line It Is Drawn, April 26th, 2019:
In honor of Avengers Endgame and its endless theories, come up with an unlikely way for the Avengers to defeat Thanos!
A twitter follower suggested: Thanos in a Hostess ad.


•  From The Line It Is Drawn, March 8, 2019:

This one I include because though I got a piece in on time to be included that week, I was unable to color the thing.  In all it's glory, here is the colorized version.
In honor of Captain Marvel's release next week, mash-up Carol Danvers with a piece of pop culture (movie, book, TV show, song, dance, whatever) from the 1990s! Caanan Grall suggested this theme!
Twitter follower KeithAlanMorgan suggested: A '90s style extreme costume, all the cliches!

All in all, I had a pretty productive Line year this year with very few gaps in submissions from week to week.  I hope to get through the end of this year and we will see what tomorrow brings us.
