ROCKET RACOON TO THE RESCUE

AND FINALLY WE HAVE THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW, ROCKET RACCOON! THE FACT THAT MARVEL AND THE POWERS THAT BE SAW FIT TO PUT THE WORLD'S MOST BAD-ASS RACCOON CREATURE THING IN A BLOCKBUSTER SUMMER MOVIE IS MAYBE THE BEST PART OF THE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY FILM. AT FIRST I THOUGHT HAVING HIM VOICED BY BRADLY COOPER WAS A MISTAKE, BUT WHEN I SAW THE FILM I THOUGHT HE DID A GREAT JOB. I REALLY DON'T HAVE MANY, IF ANY, COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE FILM, WHICH IS SHOCKING FOR ME! haha

I CHANGED THE DRAWING FROM A BIT FROM THE SKETCH. I FIXED UP HIS GUN, WHICH WAS LOOKING A BIT SAD. I ALSO TWEAKED HIS OUTFIT AND FACE. I THINK THE" KIRBY DOTS" AROUND THE GUN TURNED OUT WELL.

MEAN AND GREEN

HERE'S MY CARTOON-ISH TAKE ON DRAX THE DESTROYER FROM MARVEL'S GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY FILM. DRAX IS MY LEAST FAVORITE OF THE 5 GUARDIANS, BUT HE WAS STILL GREAT IN THE FILM. I GUESS I JUST TEND TO LEAN TOWARDS VAMPY GIRLS, CARTOON ANIMALS AND TREE PEOPLE.

I'VE INCLUDED MY INITIAL SKETCH BELOW. AS YOU CAN SEE, I DIDN'T BOTHER TO DRAW ON DRAX'S SIGNATURE TATTOOS AT FIRST. AFTER I  
INKED THE DRAWING, I WENT BACK AND USED THE LIGHT BOX TO DRAW HIS TATTOOS ON A DIFFERENT PAPER, THEN LAYERED THEM IN LATER ON.

GAMORA IS THE GREEN SKINNED LETHAL FEMME FATALE OF THE MARVEL COMIC'S SUMMER BLOCKBUSTER GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. I WAS UNSURE ABOUT ZOE SALDANA PLAYING HER AT FIRST. IN THE COMIC SHE IS TRADITIONALLY MORE VAMP-ISH AND VOLUPTUOUS IN APPEARANCE. BUT I THINK SHE PULLED IT OFF WELL IN THE FILM AND SHE FIT IN NICELY. I', HOPING IN THE NEXT GUARDIANS FILM WE CAN DELVE INTO ADAM WARLOCK AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH GAMORA, IT WOULD THROW A NICE WRENCH IN THE BUDDING ATTRACTION BETWEEN HER AND STAR LORD.

I'VE INCLUDED THE ORIGINAL SKETCH AT THE BOTTOM SO YOU CAN SEE HOW I
MADE CHANGES FROM THE ORIGINAL TO THE FINAL PIECE. 

I AM GROOT!

HERE'S MY DRAWING OF GROOT FROM MARVEL'S GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY FILM. WITH SO MANY BIG CHARACTERS IN THE MOVIE, GROOT IS THE SILENT (but strong!) HEART OF THE FILM. THE ORIGINAL SKETCH OF THE UNIVERSE'S BEST TREE-MAN IS AT THE BOTTOM.

STAR LORD!

JUST SAW THE NEW MARVEL MOVIE 'GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY' AND LOVED IT! I SKETCHED UP LIL' CARTOONISH VERSIONS OF THE TEAM AND NOW I'M TRYING TO FIND TIME TO INK & COLOR THEM. 1st UP IN STAR LORD, THE SNARKY SPACE THIEF PLAYED BY CHRIS PRATT.  FOR ME, HE WAS THE BEST PART OF THE MOVIE (and not just when he was shirtless!)
HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT MOVIE THE GUARDIANS WILL MEET ADAM WARLOCK OR CAPTAIN MARVEL.

P.S. I'VE INCLUDED THE ORIGINAL SKETCH BELOW. I CHANGED A THING OR TWO, BUT MOSTLY KEPT IT EXACTLY AS I FIRST DREW IT.
