Back in 2006, I was dabbling in nascent digital art technology. I decided to do a humorous drawing of the three different comic book characters that had the same name, “Sandman” and have them fighting Three Stooges style.
This week, in an effort to make mayself draw more while in-between drawing challenges from January and October, I joined a Comics Crossover group on Facebook, since I’ve always enjoyed pitting characters from different corporate-owned universes against each other (usually, I have made many Action Figure Comics that made these pairings easy to accomplish without have to actually draw them, see some examples below) I decided to revisit this assemblage of Sandmen (Sandmans?) but looking at that old drawing from 2006, I had hoped I had improved some since then, and set about drawing a new one. I dropped the Three Stooges aping for a more comic book cover look. Here’s the finished product:
For comparison, here’s the one I did back in 2006:
Other “comic book character crossovers” done by me with action figures:
- Public Enemies (DC’s Superman and Batman with special appearance by Marvel’s Absorbing Man.)
- Size Matters (DC’s small guy, The Atom and Marvel’s small guy, “AntMan” are colleagues with a conflict.)
- Cloaks “R” US (DC and Marvel cloak-wearers in the hood.)
- Opposites Attract (Marvel and DC are pulled together again.)
- Cyclops Convention (Monocular Creatures Unite.)
- Mail Exchange (This probably happens a lot.)
- Batcave Bother (Stark reminder that Bruce is just a chore, not a person.)
- Lobojacked (When a rider ghosts you.)
- Fearless Vampire Killers (Blade and Buffy fight fangs from all thangs.)
- Banana Grab (Ape action.)
- BAF Bullies (Independent comics take on Marvel build-a-figure style)
- All Electric (Animated GIF, alternating currents.)
… and the one that ties things back to this particular one: BomBomBom.
