Kraven The Duck Hunter

Catching up on posting these:

For this week's (9/02/12) The Line It Is Drawn, the broad topic was:

Very simply, tell us your favorite mash-ups, team-ups and re-imagined characters from our first 99 installments of The Line it is Drawn that you’d like to see given another spin! Boba Fett/Deadpool, the Muppet Lantern Corps, Captain America in Caitlin Fairchild’s outfit, etc. Here is the archive of the first 99 installments to give you some inspiration.

A follower on twitter, KeithAlanMorgan, suggested "Kraven the Duck Hunter," originally drawn by Brad Millette way back in TLIID Week 12.  I had been messing with the grid function in Flash at the time for a concept at work, basically trying to draw things out in 8-bit.  This lent itself to the style and I used the old NES "black box" packaging in the mock cover, issue #100 for week 100.

As always, check out what the talented folks over The Line It Is Drawn came up with.

Palette-Swap: Dynamite Duke

This month's theme over at the Palette-Swap blog is Sega games.  Personally, I spent my youth with my eyes glued to an NES, tapping away at A and B buttons in a frenzy, so I didn't really know much about the Sega Master System aside from remembering all the game boxes had a grid background on them, which I wanted to capture in my piece.  I chose Dynamite Duke after an internet search because the franchise looked like fun and had a cool logo (not so much on the Master System version).  It was a third-person shooter adapted from an arcade game for Sega's home system in the late '80s.  Enjoy.
