Completely recolored, but done to match the printed page. Also I've gotten really into the splatter paint tool in Photoshop. It's really '90s, don't hate on it.

Another one of the first GI Joe comics I ever owned, this is from the cover. Recolored with DIC era colors, except Flint who is in Tiger Force colors (not that you can really tell).

Another unhinged design: recoloring ZARANA and ZANDAR to complement Ninja Force ZARTAN. Did a lot of work developing a palette for this, and then the pun hit me. Get it? With a "Z"?

The '80s Joe storybooks have a LOT of great art in them!

I spliced together three different shots of Hawk from the movie's opening credits to create a full body image, because again, the POINT needs to be MADE.

Because the Dreadnoks *are* Tom of Finland adjacent and we need to acknowledge that.

Hey, 100% my art. I drew this in 2020 and made it into a TeePublic design, but I wrote "Terror Dome" and then didn't want to spend time fixing it. Six years later, I took the time, and redid the colors.

This is Dial-Tone's '80s art, redone in his '90s Sonic Fighters colors (since the figure was a straight repaint). I recreated the concentric sonic rings myself.

Sometimes you just make a Snake Eyes shirt.

Because Alpine is a Top 10 Joe for me and he deserves to be on more merch!

Cover Girl deserves more love. She didn't get official '80s toy package art since she was a vehicle driver. BUT her sculpt was used to make Sparta (an int'l figure), and she got art. Weird, Liefeldian art. I extensively reworked that art to make this.

This took *so long*. Turning animation screengrabs into textured art, with some dimension, takes so much work (at least it does if you're an amateur like myself). But once the pun came to me ...

This could very well be my favorite design. The scoreboard are initials of all the other '90 Joes. The logo is pure Def Leppard. The colors are wild. All befitting of GI Joe's first hardcore gamer. Love this. I watched Wayne's World while making this.

I want to do a '90s remix for Firefly, this design in neon green. But I wish his art wasn't from behind. Too many Joe artists wanted to show off backpacks and butts back then.

I could make these all day. And I frequently do.

When I was a kid, the issue where Lady Jaye single-handedly protects Hawk after he gets shot really wowed me. So, here's that, recolored in Sunbow greens.

A comic pinup image, recolored to match the action figure. And also, that's Scarlett's actual logo. Wild. It's intense!

Finally putting respect on Cool Breeze's name! A literal done-in-one Joe from the comics. Confuse your Joe friends with this one!

Cesspool's design is just top-tier insanity and I love him.

And now back to those '90s characters, baby. Love Ambush. Not only is he really hot, he's also incredibly sexy too. Did GI Joe shape my taste in men? I don't know??

Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent, bitches. This looks HOTTT.
Also love how Dawn Moreno could go toe-to-toe with any X-Man in a Confusing Origins contest.
Also love how Dawn Moreno single-handedly proves that GI Joe is sci-fi, progressive, and just absolutely nuts
