Ghetto mask ideas part 2. Green Lantern crab mask



Back again with a how to for my favorite Green Lantern Kyle Rayner's "crab" mask.  This could be extremely cheap to free depending on what materials you already have.  For this I only need to buy the metallic emerald green paint, and that was about $3.00 on ebay.

What you'll need:

cardboard
green paint
glue
newspaper
a pair of cheap sunglasses
scissors
tape
bowl
optional: white paper, string

comic book inspired wrestling art.

This is a comic book inspired image that I made starring WWE diva AJ Lee, it also features diva Kaitlyn and Hornswoggle this image was based off of X-men #101.

This one was based around the Batman Hush trade paperback cover.  It features CM Punk in place of Batman, John Cena in place of Superman (naturally).  Beth Phoenix and Natalya in place of Catwoman and Huntress, Miz in place of Harley Quinn (?????).  I came up with this idea because of the whole CM Punk/conspiracy angle and I thought it fit good with Hush, hell on Punk's twitter he likes to say he is confused with Batman.

Ghetto mask ideas part 1. Cyclops

This is part 1 of a series of posts I'll be doing on how to make, cheap masks for Halloween, if you are like me you love Halloween, love comic books, and are flat out broke.  Some characters can be fairly easy to shop for but others can prove to be kind of difficult to achieve.  Like today's subject Cyclops of the x-men, getting a good visor for Cyclops can be quite pricey or very time consuming if going with the pepakura route.  I'm hoping this will help get a decent look for very little cost and less time.

What you'll need
1 pair of cheap sunglasses
1-2 bottles of elmers glue
1 roll of tape
2 plastic cups (mcdonald's Large)
some cardboard, newspaper and sandpaper.

October aka the most wonderful time of the year.

Well it is officially October which for me means it is the most wonderful time of the year.  I've always been  a big fan of Halloween ever since I was a little kid, maybe it was the free candy or maybe it's the idea of pretending to be someone else for a day, or getting the crap scared out of you I don't know but I've always loved it.

Can't sleep WWE Art edition





not much going for me in the sleep category so I figured I would post some random WWE art I've made.
Made this Daniel Bryan picture in February of this year, even had him sign a copy of it.
Made this Evan Bourne picture in August, in time I will go back and add more details, like giving him eyes in the kicking picture.

Two Days and counting until the release of the Star Wars blu ray collection!!

If you are like me, an epic scale geek, then you are or were probably looking forward to the release of the Star Wars trilogies onto the blu ray format.  Which of course if you are just like me, then you are probably pretty upset right now with George Lucas continuing tampering with his work.  If Vader's NOOOO wasn't bad enough in Revenge of the Sith, now thanks to George Lucas' tampering we must now witness an encore of it in Return of the Jedi.

Rather than focus on the negatives, I decided since we are two days from the official release of the blu rays that I would focus on two of my  favorite moments of the entire saga

2. "I am your Father"

I really wish I was old enough to have seen this moment in the theaters.  Even now I realize how shocking of a moment it was when Luke found out that Vader was his father, but as a kid my first Star Wars film was Return of The Jedi, so as much as I understand it I can not fully comprehend the shock of that moment.  Still a classic moment and my second favorite of the saga.

1. The final duel in Return of the Jedi

As a kid this moment was my favorite, Luke beating Vader was awesome, the hero overcomes the villain everything is great.  Growing up I realized just how much more powerful this scene truly was, all of the emotion packed into it, which escaped me as a child watching it.  Though the duel is quite simple by today's standards, the emotion in that scene alone for me trumps any moment in the saga, from Luke recklessly and violently swinging his saber to the score  in the scene everything about it works for me.





That's it for this post wish I could put more details in that last description but I'm late for work.  Feel free to voice your favorite Star Wars moments below.
