CRYSTAL BALL 87 GI Joe Cobra Dire Energy by brettwhite Boo

The biggest risk I've taken so far! Seeing Crystal Ball reimagined in Classified with this "Dire Energy," it's such a great color. I applied it to his '80s design, and then realized I could try doing this and only offer this on black products. So ... !

SNAKE EYES SLICE 92 GI Joe Cobra by brettwhite Slicing up eyeballs

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.

GI JOE 117 91 TEAM-UP by brettwhite The enemy of my enemy

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).

3 NINJAZ GI Joe Zartan Zarana Zandar by brettwhite They kick back.

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"?

HAWK 87 GI Joe the movie design by brettwhite Fight all fascism. Everywhere.

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.

COBRA COMMANDER GI Joe Drag Race design by brettwhite Shantay you ssssssstay

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.

DIAL-TONE 90 GI Joe Sonic Fighters Toy Design by brettwhite Phones are his superpower.

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.

COVER GIRL 83 GI Joe toy art design by brettwhite She's a model soldier

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.

GI JOE Big DIC Energy 1990 by brettwhite It's a 90s thing.

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 ...

RAMPART 90 GI Joe toy art design by brettwhite He's got the high score

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.

FIREFLY 84 GI Joe Cobra Action Figure Design T-Shirt by brettwhite Trade your inner saboteur for an outer saboteur.

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.

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
