It's pretty simple. I just do the best I can and hope it turns out Okay, so Let's see. Were you able to find the cardboard backing you needed to ship your sketches? I Like I found so I haven't ordered it yet, but I'm going to order some In the meantime, I have enough cardboard that I could I can make do but but I'm I'm gonna take care of that I'm gonna take care of that. Thank you for checking on me. Thank you. Thank you very much for asking The female strato viper. That's an interesting idea. I don't think I've ever drawn a strato viper now Do I think of it? Wow, okay. Anyway, so I I rattled off a few Drawings here. I did a a Zartan And I did a a firefly And I for some reason I felt like drawing grand slam, so I did a grand slam I Did a a hooded cobra commander And I did a Duke. I Got Duke and I got Duke and a couple different poses here. I have Hawk we got Hawk here I did a oh, thank you Dave. Hello everyone. Also your art style is pretty good. Thank you very much That's very nice. That's very nice of you. Thank you guys. Hello James Clark. Nice to see you I did a Zirana And I don't know I was just going down the list of Characters and it I hit on dial tone of like I'll just draw dial tone. Why not? I did a Destro and And a baroness For some reason a lot of my poses tend to be kind of static and I don't know that's just that's just my style Thank you photo viper. Thank you very much I did another Duke. We've got Duke saluting here One thing I really like about drawing Joe's is the equipment. I like drawing the gear and stuff That's just kind of fun. I did a roadblock And I did a stalker And I did a Rikondo and and we got a storm shadow with the bow and Let's see what else we got we got We got a snake eyes And I'd like the others I think all the others you've already seen Yeah, most of them. I this I had done a little while ago, but I did a Scarface Cobra officer and Torch I need to do the other dread knocks. I need to do the other dread knocks And I did a sergeant slaughter And I did well, I'm not I'm not I'm not showing that one. I'm not too happy with my scarlet I got to do another scarlet, but I did a lady J So there you go. So that's what I've been up to For for part of last week I was doing like I Was doing like ten of these a day. Hello. Oh, thank you guys. How about a coral sketch? That's a cool idea Now a coral is Basically a recolored scarlet And I don't normally work in color, but I'll bet I'll bet I could figure out a way To make coral look like coral instead of scarlet I could that's an interesting idea gas and that is something that I I could try I could try thank you comic tropes Thank you very much So these will be At Joe fest So if you'll if you'd like to pick the draw the fridge, that's another good idea. That's another good idea Hey, hello JLS comics. Nice to see you here. Hello spaced Cobra and Tony Jackson. Hello Thank you for being here. Thank you all for being here so So I'm gonna draw at the end of this show this evening. I will draw something hello dioramas dioramas the guy is so Nice, he they named him twice. How do you do? So I will draw something tonight. I have one other here that Excuse me that I can't show you because It struck me. I had the idea of drawing a thumbnail sketch for a video But do it as a physical drawing. I had always really just done it elect done it digitally And usually I draw like on my phone So like I mean like on my phone Drawing this stuff that ends up as thumbnails for my videos But I thought why don't I do a pencil drawing and I can scan that and then I can I can ink and color it on my phone And then but then I have the physical pencil drawing and I can take that to Joe Fest as well and Yeah, and and somebody can get that if they want to coastal defender draw a pack rat I could draw a pack rat. I could I could I can draw comic tropes. Yeah, I could draw comic tropes. Yes. Yes, I could do that In fact, technically sort of I have drawn comic tropes because I did a sketch of clean sweep And that was sort of like comic tropes in the clean clean sweep costume Now if you mean does comic tropes draw Then the answer is yes. Yes. He actually does a live drawing every week on his pros and cons channel You should check that out So but I had an idea so alright There's this thing. Oh, thank you Dave for the super chat. I would love it to see a zap sketch I haven't drawn zap for a while either also zap looked like my uncle and his name is Rafael because of that I always thought zap was Puerto Rican zap was legit the first Latino Joe. Yes, that is true. That is true and that is kind of a way they they diversified the The team back in the early 80s, you know, they gave them a diverse backgrounds. So Yeah, that's actually a fun idea. I You know, I'm gonna put that on the list. I would like to have a wide range of character sketches for Joe Fest and I'll make sure I get a zap. I'll do a zap. I'll do a zap Oh and JLS see JLS did Mean is am I able to draw you I could do that. I could do it I could I wouldn't necessarily be good and might not actually end up looking anything like him But yeah Anyway What would I say? Oh, yeah, okay. All right, no distractions. I'm focused now. I'm focused I'm focused So my thought was I'll do a drawing at the end of this live stream tonight and I have this thing like It's not so much that I like money. It's that I like eating and not starving So I'm gonna do something else that I haven't done for a while I'm going to put whatever I draw this evening on eBay and just let everybody have a shot at it So, you know Comic tropes. Thank you for the super chat a topic idea. How many folks have dealt with these swapped figures in boxes? Oh, like my alley viper today. That's right comic tropes Thought he found an alley viper classified figure at where was it target at a retail shop But it was swapped out somebody had put snake eyes in the box I know I've seen a couple of Photos floating around on the interwebs where that has happened. I haven't run across that yet But I wonder if anybody else has Draw the thunder machine that would be a tough one. You know what? And since you bring that up, I haven't drawn a lot of vehicles lately either I've never been I've never done a lot of vehicles, but I have done some And that's maybe not a bad idea. I you know, you guys are you guys are actually Full of great ideas tonight and this is actually really helpful because as I'm drawing I'm it's not always easy for me to think of what to do next so you guys are actually really really helping so Yeah, I've got some great ideas, you know zap thunder machine. These are all things that I can like The fridge I can draw the fridge. Hey, it's wants on Joe mine. Where the hell are the singing cats? You just missed them.

Ah, so So I wish I had some some more like actual GI Joe stuff to show you But But like I haven't really got a whole lot new stuff in I did get a lot of stuff in the the post office box But that is sitting over there and I haven't opened it yet so I will be doing an Donation unboxing opening of that stuff in the near future So so watch for that. Hello Evan.

I could use some backers do back Total action force volume two. I would like to I'd like to see all of the fan driven GI Joe or action force related projects get funded. I feel that that's important and and in particular the Total action force volume two It's gonna be a very helpful source for information and That's something that if you can if you can it would be very much worth your while To check that out. So thank you very much Matt Rubin for bringing that up In fact, I kind of wish I had a link handy The Cobraverse of Convergence, that's right Tony Anyway I Don't know what I was saying. Why am I doing this? I don't know. I don't I'm totally lost. I'm totally lost But at the at the back half of the show at about 7 30 by my clock I will switch to my two camera setup which which by the way, I will probably still have to configure live Like I did last time Totally lame. I should have that all set up beforehand But I'll set I'll switch to my two camera setup. I've got I've got my other camera right here Say hi other camera. Hello other camera And then and I'll have to actually get up because my my drawing pad is not in here Of course not my drawing pad is in there Show prep guys show prep.

Hello bubble wrap memories Hey, we have Chew and bubble gum and bubble wrapped memories. What a coincidence is that? Anyway, you're late to the party for anybody who has just joined Everybody's name is Matt Since there are a lot of mats in the live chat We've decided to simplify things and now everybody is named Matt So congratulations, even if your name is not Matt. It is now Matt. I do have one One GI Joe item within reach KB says have I gotten any valvers stuff I have I got the valvers sergeant slaughter This is the the The GI Joe Vintage item that cards a little bent that I have actually handy. I have this out For a review because I'm using it in a review. This is ninja force Zartan version 2 from 1993 on the card and And I have this out for a review. I'm not reviewing this. I've already reviewed this But if you can guess What I have this out for and what I'm reviewing That would require this. This is an essential element of that review if you can guess I will give you a free no prize That's right a free no prize if you can guess what this is related to and In a not very obvious way. It's not it's not an obvious connection. I Will give you a no prize Excuse me Man my throat's drying out faster than usual. I am not reviewing Xandar. It's a nice guess. It's a nice guess But yeah, but look at this guy In my lighting, I don't think the the colors pop as much as they should but Man that that is super orange That is a statement, isn't it? You know that that's a choice like it's like I Not all the the purple boots and the green pants That's not enough of a statement. What I need is orange face paint and an orange mohawk that That's that's this guy decided that sums up me Oh, thank you Dave for the super chat. I love Ninja for sartan. It was she had a hood though And that head sculpt is awesome. Yeah, the the sculpt this is something that I think I can fairly say about 90s figures is the sculpting in general was pretty good The the sculpting is sharp I can't argue with that But anyway, let's see Can I take the no-money option if you are certainly Dave certainly You can you can have the no prize or you can have no money, you know, which whichever works for you Which it all gets sent the same way But yeah, this I had this out for For a review that I'm working on and I actually finished with it. I needed to put it away But this is It's important for the video it's important for the review needed it needed it for reference When you actually see the video you may think wow, that's obvious. Hello Jeff. Thank you for joining. Thanks for being here Not spirit not spirit good guess though. Good guess James It's yeah, you won't guess it's you'll never guess it's It's just too it's too different But I did I did need that hello Nyquist. Thanks for thanks for being here. I did Yes, it's meant on card Not not that long ago. These 90s figures still on the card were really cheap the prices have gone up late lately, but In not not that long ago. Maybe a couple years ago. These were like easy to find Wait a desk throw version three not correct atomic tropes a nice try nice try good try But but that that's not it Cold Slyther Zartan it's kind of yeah, I mean you can see him as more of a you know like a a Punk singer punk rocker in this in this get up anyway But yeah at the time like these were inexpensive I'm kind of surprised at Yeah, the weapons tree. Yeah, exactly Surprised at how much 90s carded figures are going for now because I've seen so many of them so I It was a good try it was a good try comic tropes Once once you actually see the video you'll you'll be like oh, of course So Yeah, but I mean the figures are not rare. I I used to see them everywhere But the prices have gone up. I have to assume because the The demand has gone up. There's plenty of supply plenty of supply But but I my theory is that GI Joe fans from the 90s are Coming into the hobby They're getting nostalgia for their Their GI Joe and the figures and stuff that they had And they're they're a little younger than me So, you know, they're now reaching that age where this is something that they're looking into and they want to check out And so that's my theory as to why the demand has increased even though a figure like Mint on card ninja for Zartan. It's really not not that rare. Hello action figure expert Nice to see you I'm doing well. Thank you very much for asking Ninja for storm shadow. I don't have ninja for storm shadow on the card. I do have the figure. I do have Shadow ninjas storm shadow on the card. Hello, Alex Yeah, so anyway, what are we doing? It's about For it's about 727 according to my clock Collecting has gone up everywhere across the last two years while people are more isolated. Yeah, that makes sense comic tropes that does Reviewing the performance of performance art of Wendy. Oh, Williams. I should that's actually a pretty good idea That sounds fun. Thank you. Josiah action figure prices are up across the board Yeah, and this is oh, thank you Dave. Are you reviewing ninja force scarlet? I'm not reviewing a ninja force carlet That's a good guess good guess. I have already reviewed ninja force scarlet. It was a long time ago I should probably that could be a review that maybe should be redone But it's a good guess. It's a good guess Is it is it a warm or cold? And should I say warmer or colder? I think it's I think it's actually a little bit on The cool side. I don't think that's not quite warmer yet Ninja lightning not a ninja lightning review. I have reviewed the ninja lightning Also another good guess though, you know, you guys are in the in the ballpark. You're in the ballpark But since it is 728 I am going to step away for a second. I'm gonna let you talk amongst yourselves I'm going to grab my drawing pad. I'm gonna bring it back here Hello Tim one. Thank you very much for joining. Thanks for being here. I'm going to set up my my My second camera the whole thing is gonna be a huge mess It's gonna be a disaster And it's gonna be very frustrating to to watch And it's gonna make you angry and want to unsubscribe but If you are still subscribed and watching in in the next five minutes Then we will do a drawing and I will have Have the peanut gallery here Select what it is That that I'm going to draw. Okay, and not nice not night creeper leader. That's another good guess It's you know, you guys are you guys are I Don't think you're necessarily getting warmer, but you're in the ballpark. You're in the ballpark. Okay, so time out Time out. I'll be right back I'm gonna go grab the thing that I should have grabbed before I started the show and we're gonna set it up And we're gonna do some drawing. We're gonna do some drawing. I will be right back. Hang on Okay. All right. All right. All right. Thanks for your patience. I have returned Okay, look, it's my drawing pad. It's my sketch pad right where I left it So here's what we're gonna do. Here's what we're gonna do. Oh, thank you, Dave Reviewing Street Fighter doll seam another good guess getting a little colder though getting a little colder. It's a good guess though I I appreciate the effort. I if this is the most. Thank you, Ivan If nominated for president, I will accept the nomination I Don't think I've ever seen this much effort put into collecting a no prize before this that's very flattering Thank you very much. So volume still good. Okay volume still good Let's see let's try to Okay now bear with me I'm going to I'm going to switch this to the two-camera view and it's gonna be really messed up, but I'm gonna fix it Okay, this may freeze for a second, but I'm gonna fix it. Hang on with me. Okay Alright, so there's that That's that's super in the way Okay Let's see this All right, that doesn't make sense Okay, oops See that. Okay. No that that did work. Okay, cool. And See now if I do this it should bring the chat up. Thank you, Dave eco warriors barbecue Now that makes me hungry for barbecue It's it's not correct though. It's it's not the right choice, but it is a delicious choice That's that's that's yummy. That's That's nice. Okay, so let me see if I can get this If I can get this is so hard. How do people do this? Okay Something something like that. You can sort of see the page Okay, so here's what we're gonna do. Are we ready? Hey, it's peg warmers. Hello peg warmers. Thank you very much Been meaning to catch up with you life has been crazy. I agree with that. I that is a true statement So I'm gonna do a drawing here at the bottom half of the show and What we're gonna do is I'm going to Select the subject of the drawing in the most unfair way possible And the way which will result in the most people complaining So here's what we're gonna do when I say go I Will I'll draw whoever is the first see that's that's no good. I will draw whoever is the first Care GI Joe character. Hello Antonio. Thanks for being here. I will draw whoever is the first GI Joe character I see in the live chat Okay, that's that makes sense. So whatever character you want to draw You just type it in the live chat and the first one I see come up. Don't do it yet. Wait till I say go The first one I see that's the one I will draw And I know that's not fair it's not fair it's not fair because there some people will be lagging more than others You know, if you have an internet connection that's not as fast you There may be more of a delay And so it's not fair because somebody may be able to See the message and type faster than you have it can before you even have a chance to do it. I'm sorry about that I'm sorry, but we're gonna try it this way. Anyway, okay, so wait till I say go wait till I say go. All right. I'm gonna count down And when I say go The first that I see is the one I will do ready three two One go Let's see. Let's see. Let's see who am I seeing whom I see in Shipwreck, okay shipwreck is the first that I saw after saying go oh JLS was just above the wire there. I did not see JLS is in time So let's let's do this See I need a scratch page here. I Don't know how people do this all the time It's hard enough for me to draw and then Adding like cameras and stuff in the way. I don't know. Okay, so let me go grab Shipwreck the figure and I will look at that I Will look at that What what what was that? What was ten bucks? I Don't know. I missed something. I missed something. Sorry about that Let me go grab the Grab the shipwreck action figure so I can use it as reference and then we'll get started right back with you hang on Here we go. Got shipwreck Got him in a little plastic bag, so I don't lose his bits String thing kind of in the way. I do have okay, so there's There's shipwreck and oops There's Polly so let's uh in keeping with the these static Poses that I typically do. Let's uh, let's figure out how we're gonna do shipwreck here I just I feel like you know shipwreck, you know is Let's see All right Shipwreck is gonna be let's see. Let's see we can you to head here? Let's see Chest we're gonna We're gonna put Polly on his shoulder and I want him to let's see. I want him to have that weird Pistol thing, but I'm gonna have him it hanging here. I'm gonna have a hand on the hip. Let's see Let's see See one thing that I often screw up is Starting the drawing too low on the page and Running out of room, so we're gonna try not to do that And I've already done it so yeah what yay me. Oh Battlecore shipwreck. That's a hey, that's actually a good idea if we have extra time I'll do the battle core shipwreck That's that's that's not a bad idea. Thank you Dave's that's that's not a bad idea I did say shipwreck. I didn't say which shipwreck But I already have 85 shipwreck out so I'm gonna do it go ahead and do 85 shipwreck right now But if we if we wrap this pretty soon, maybe I'll just jump on On battle core shipwreck I do like that figure stinky diver Yeah, I can do stinky diver eco warrior shipwreck And I do apologize. It is kind of is it is harder for me to Follow the live chat while I'm drawing because my eyeballs have to be on the on the Page, but I'll try to look up as often as I can and I apologize for If I miss anything important It's all important right So if I miss anything it's important All right, so we're gonna do kind of like a I'm still not sure that's gonna work Okay Knees feet that should work by gum. Yeah, I think that's gonna work. So Let's see elbow Okay, and then we're gonna do like that Dave are you reviewing? Ninja force Bushido that is a good guess that is not the answer, but It's actually surprisingly closer than you might think It is closer It's actually one of the closer guesses that we've had so far Josiah says after the Defiant what's the most expensive review you have left to do I'm guessing the crossfire Especially if you get both a and b frequencies I actually have the crossfire and I have both a and b or the alpha and the delta Examples of those I don't have them complete, but I don't necessarily need them both complete in order to show the variant. I Think the next most expensive review will be the general that monster So, yeah, that's I think that's the answer to that question Josiah The the general I don't have it yet, I'll have to I'll have to get it, but the crossfire the crossfire is a that that's That's becoming Increasingly pricey and I feel very lucky that I was able to find the ones that I found when I found them One of them I actually found At a local vintage toy shop. It's one of the Kind of rare occasions when I've actually found something in the wild. I That was a really lucky day for me. I was like, hey, I need to I need to play the lottery So let's see I Know this is gonna be light, but I will it will be darkened in With more firm pencil lines as I get As it gets more complete Okay, let's try to get these arms Okay So I was doing all these drawings Over the last few days and I I was able to I was able to know exactly when I needed to stop Because I I I had done pretty well and I had the idea of doing one more Doing one more drawing And it turned out so bad so bad I had to I just had to give up I had to quit I had to I crumpled up the paper fortunately. I hadn't gotten too far into it But it was it was one too many one too many one too many my brain had reached its capacity for For Art for art it reached the art capacity and and I could do no more Yeah, I am gonna include Polly in this I'm gonna include Polly. Let's see here Let's see here. Okay Let's see and again, I apologize for not being able to keep up with the The live chat as well as well Let's see. Let's Got his bell bottom trousers Are you reviewing Ninja Forrest Bonsai or Nunshuck? You you're pretty hot Dave. You're pretty hot You are pretty hot. In fact I might I might just go ahead and send you the note no prize You know check your mailbox Dave check your mailbox for your no prize You don't have to give me your address. Don't worry about that Just your your your no prize Will arrive magically Magically in the post Let's see. I'm holding this up like this because it's it's if I lay it flat. It's hard to get the proportions right so But I will lay it flat here Momentarily It's make it does make me think of that song bell bottom trousers Okay, I got it. I think we've about got the basics So those shoulders need to be a little higher Okay, so all right, you can't see that very well, but we have the beginnings of a shipwreck here Oops his little string thing Dave already got no money Okay. All right, let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it Let's I'm gonna peel this off so I can maneuver it a little better All right, so let's Let's do a bearded shipwreck here. All right, trust me. This is gonna turn out great Actually, you really If the track record says anything it should not trust me it may not turn out great, okay, so let's see Let's give Man, I'm sorry. I'm trying. This is hard to do and coordinate with the cameras Okay Hang on concentrating just for one minute so I can get this face halfway decent So I can get the face acceptable enough that I don't have to erase the whole thing and start over Let's see. Okay All right, so now he needs his Donald Duck hat And we've about got it Like about like about that. Yeah, like about like that. Okay Okay, so we've got the beginnings of a shipwreck face So more or less more or less like so How's it going? How's it going? Let's see vintage, okay Okay, two bubblegum only collects vintage o's ring style and vintage vehicles Even stuff from the 2000s there was some interesting stuff from the 2000s The 2000s is outside of the scope of what I normally collect but I have I do have a few examples of them And of course the The body style I mean the body style changed more than once there was like the new sculpt era And then there was the modern like the fully modern Like 25th anniversary style, okay, we have a Polly like so Okay you know this is This is why you know, maybe Maybe watching like a different show would be better for everyone because like this is the show where you can watch with the promise of seeing a Gijo character drawn live Except you can't actually see it because I have a hard time getting this the the page in view of the of The camera So he's got gloves we're gonna give him some gloves. Okay got this Okay So his both his both his Rank insignia patch and his tattoo are on his right arm, but from this angle you can't really see them What am I doing? I'm doing rolled up sleeves, but he doesn't have rolled up sleeves. He has short sleeves That's actually easier. That's better No problem. No problem. I can fix it. I can fix it Okay Okay There we go There we go All right, so let's let's see. He's got some pockets on this shirt Like So how's everybody doing in there? Everybody doing everybody doing alright. I do need to check the I really do want to keep My eye on the live chat, but man, this is this is actually kind of hard to do like focus okay, so Let's see now. He's got to have his like his lasso of truth or whatever his Those let's see these things What do they call them boarding hooks These things Let's see let's try to get the shape Shapes pretty basic. It's like and then like so something like that something to that effect Let's see. We're making it. We're making it We're not really making it, but you know if I keep a positive attitude, maybe we will make it Let's see. So he's got like a little pouch thing there Yeah, then he's got the hook will this kind of suggest that Okay, little sloppy little sloppy. I'm just not I'm not I'm not loving the proportions that I've got going here, which is entirely my fault. I Take full responsibility Okay, okay, like so Okay. All right. So that is okay. Let's let's start. Let's start kicking out these details and Making some bold choices. Let's make some bold choices All right Let's start by finishing this this head Let's get the shape of the hat Hopefully not too far off and I just I just see Shipwreck is having a slightly longer hair Hippy. All right. So beard one thing that you get used to Drawing gi Joe is everybody's got to have a mean face So you draw a lot of mean eyes angry eyes So many that you can forget how to draw how to draw any other expressions Okay. All right. So that is about coming together It about is it about is All right, that's it's starting to feel like shipwreck Yeah, starting to feel like shipwreck we're gonna get there we're gonna It's it's coming together. There we go Thank you GG peak 26. Thank you very much Working on it working on it where my pencil go for price sake. There it is. I May need to sharpen this thing one more time. Let's keep going. Let's keep going Let's see need some Shoulders need to be a little bit higher up and So I will sort of cheat them up a little bit and let's go ahead and get a Polly Let's see. So Polly So we're gonna have Polly and his little parrot feet On the shipwrecks shoulder Like so All right, and he's got this open collar for disco night You know disco night in the Navy Where they play the YMCA? Okay, man, we're we're getting close. We're making some bold choices. We're making some bold choices It's coming together. So he's got these pockets that have some flaps on them Got a text on my phone that I cannot check I will check it later. Hope it isn't important Let's see Okay, so let's see. He's got some buttons Like so Okay, and There all right coming together coming together All right, so I'm a little bit worried about Let's see who would win in a fight between shipwreck and shore leave I Think shipwreck always gives in to shore leave I think when there's shore leave around shipwreck is like, okay Shore leave wins So, yeah, this hand here I'm not super comfortable with so I'm gonna work on that for a second. Let's see Let's see. Let's try. Let's see. So let's try this Yeah, that's gonna work. I think it'll more or less work See Or or not work at all. That's also another possibility There that's not too bad. So all right. He's wearing gloves. So let's put some like seam lines for the gloves Okay All right, so his belt Has like an anchor on it. I think well, it's gonna have an anchor on it Because I'm drawing an anchor on it. How we doing A Sigma six shipwreck toy had a Polly tattoo. That's see that's a nice idea That's a nice idea. Something clearly must have happened to Polly between versions One and two of shipwreck So, let's see here. Let's get this rope sort of done That's not beautiful. But you know what? as old Sandy used to say it's good enough for the girls I go out with and And I should amend that Yeah, I should I should explain that just in case any girls I go out with ever watched this That that's something that a former co-worker Sandy used to say So so don't blame me any any any future Dating partners Don't don't take that person blame Sandy and I think I think Sandy has passed away. So yeah, so definitely blame Sandy He's not around to defend himself Okay, so I think like so like so Like so, okay. I need this this little pistol so I can see how it's shaped Let's see this weird little like percussion pistol that he has This a flintlock looking thing it It certainly is a an interesting and unusual weapon, but it belongs in a museum Okay, and it even has like a little scope on it, which is fascinating like so And it's got we'll give it a like a little trigger guard there even though the toy doesn't have one like so He's got like these little Tough things on his gloves like so Wow, you guys can't see that at all. Can you man? I am the worst. I am there are still 52 people here and that's a miracle Okay, so there we go Okay, so now it also has this kind of alright, so we need to Work on this the thing with the the bell bottom trousers is that you know When he's standing relatively straight-legged there wouldn't be a whole lot of Folds or wrinkles in the cloth Okay, but he has this loop Goes around like that And this loop will kind of go behind this leg and then connect to the the grip of the The weird pistol that he has let's give it like the grip some texture. There we go Feel like that that it doesn't feel complete to me. Let's see what we can do here. Ah Still haven't replaced my kneaded eraser Yeah, that's not too bad Let's give this a little bit of detail and texture as well and my apologies for anyone in The live chat who is who I'm missing I apologize, but thank you for being here It really does mean a lot to me. I do look forward to to Tuesdays every week Let's see And that's one reason why it like any time I can't do The live stream for any reason it's very disappointing Okay, so he's got his His bell-bottom trousers Sorry to whoever's texting me Who's probably not even in this live chat so you're not hearing my apologies But I'll get to you as soon as I can All right, so we're getting close to being done. He has like some basically kind of simple shoes I'm not sure there are even boots really So let's uh, let's kind of And I think that's basically it. Let's let's see if we've missed anything. I don't think so. I think we've got Basically everything here, and I think we're done. I think we're done Hello, Hans. Ciao. Nice to see you. Look forward to Tuesday to spending time with a venerable GI Joe connoisseur That's very nice. Somebody needs to let me know when the venerable GI Joe connoisseur shows up That sounds like a really cool guy to hang out with but thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much So we have basically are like a really simple A really simple Shipwreck here There's how he how he turned out. That's a quick one that that is actually pretty quick But somebody suggested That I do the battle force shipwreck to now I know we are at the eight o'clock hour by my clock in the US central time zone but I'm gonna go wild and crazy And I'm gonna do one more because we had selected shipwreck right as our Subject for this evening But it wasn't specified which shipwreck so I'm just gonna do a second one. I'm gonna do a battle a Battle core shipwreck That's hard to do there is our version one shipwreck I'm gonna go grab The battle core shipwreck and I'm gonna take a short break and also see what messages I'm getting Okay, no, that's fine Not an emergency So time out for me. I once again talk some talk amongst yourselves. You're very kind for sticking out. Hello, Samuel Russell. Thanks for being here What's your favorite ninja force figure? I think my favorite ninja force figure is probably storm shadow That's a pretty good storm shadow. It really is And it ended up being made into a classified figure too, which is pretty impressive for a ninja force figure All right, so hang out with me This is gonna take more than a couple minutes though because I'm gonna take a brief break But I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna draw version two of Of shipwrecks so bear with me. I'll be right back All right, anybody still here? I'm back Okay Hey, wow 53 still people still here. That's amazing. So I tried to find my Shipwreck version two figure and I could not find it which means I have miss filed it And I don't want to spend all evening Looking for the thing. So new plan. I'm going to draw Battle core shipwreck the best I can from memory That hello yo, joe ocee I'm part of pardon me. Yo, joe ocee is not here. Okay. Well in that case non. Hello Yes, I'm back So one thing you should never do is trust my memory, I certainly don't But we're just gonna gonna give it our best shot. Okay, we're gonna give it our best shot to Draw To draw battle core shipwreck from memory yikes this Can't go well. Okay, so let's let's let's sort this out. Let's see what I'm thinking of is like He's in scuba gear, so I want him. I want him swimming. So he's gonna be kind of head forward Kind of swimming towards us a little bit But if he's if he's in a scuba gear his his face is gonna have to be Behind the mask, so we'll just we'll just go with that. It'll be fine. Okay Let's see. So we've got it like going like this. So with if he's swimming his he can be a little bit contorted We want to get him in a good swimming pose Something like Let's see Helps if I kind of dummy out the shape of it first and then I can kind of work in the details So since his his head's gonna be forward the rest of his body is gonna be receding a bit I'm gonna have this leg kind of up and bent with a just a flipper showing and his Left leg is gonna be trailing off into the distance With the flipper there, so that and then let's see And this arm is kind of foreshortened here Hans chow it'll be fine worst you could happen as you start with battle core shipwreck and end up with battle core tracker That's your your how right you are Let's see I Think you had like a knife on this arm or something Okay, so all right, this this feels okay. This feels okay, so let's let's work out the Some guidelines here When I was a young person Not first learning to draw but you know early on I Was a big admirer of Jim Lee because you know he was part of the the Superstar artist boom of the of the 90s But unlike some of the other Superstar artists I felt like Jim Lee had pretty good fundamentals and And and I like that I like that he could have both a flashy style but also have a really solid grasp of the fundamentals of comic book art Fast forward a few decades and you know you can actually watch YouTube videos of Jim Lee Doing his art if you can actually watch him draw and being able to Actually watch that process is like that's amazing I would have paid real money for for that privilege as a young person but one thing I find interesting or challenging you might say is that In his process He'll like work out The just basically where everything goes in his drawing and it'll start like hammering out Details and Like finished lines and it's like how you you're skipping steps And it's I mean it's an artist that has has reached a level of confidence that Such that That he you know he doesn't have to do a lot of the Preparatory steps that that I still have to do and that I mean that's not just Talent obviously that is also talent, but that's also just a lot of practice a lot of practical work just doing the job doing the work and It's it's impressive. It's it's most impressive That is not something that I can realistically aspire to I'm happy when I draw something and it turns out anywhere close To what I'm envisioning So okay, so let's see And I can't I like I can't remember some of the details on the scuba Suit so I'm gonna give him like a strap around his leg and stuff And why not I'll give him a strap around this leg too Let's see His knee here calf and shin All right foot flipper Sorry Okay, let's take in shape It's taking shape. It isn't actually a more of a dynamic pose than the the other one I really wish I could find that figure because I can't I'm gonna look it up I can't remember how what the scuba mask looks like right off hand hold on Okay, I don't need to read that text right now like I said earlier. It was not an emergency Okay, I just I just need to see the scuba mask if I can see the scuba mask I Won't I won't cheat anymore What am I talking about I totally will ah There it is. Oh, that's the 3d joes calm image thanks again 3d joes Thanks for bearing with me all 52. Oh, David says battle core shipwreck uses what suit length? That is correct. I do remember that that much at least I remember So it's it's like half of an original figure Okay, so it's just like a big goggle piece. Okay, okay. Oh When it's a double hose, it's like a hose out of this side and a hose out of this side So let's let's do that Let's see and that needs to be a bit more exaggerated Alright, this is gonna work. This is totally gonna work Okay It's like it's it's a big goggle piece. Okay. Got it got it got it like that's what I was What I was thinking but I couldn't remember exactly Okay, okay, okay Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, so like that Like that. Okay, this is gonna work. This is gonna work. Thank you Dave. E. Thank you very much Does anybody like as a as a young person if you read Marvel Comics? Thinking that a no prize was an actually a prize It wasn't so it wasn't so later that that I got the joke One thing though is that at one point? I believe they did Send out like printed envelopes that were empty because there's no prize. That's the joke but That printed empty envelope is in a way a prize Let's clean this up All right You'll you all have to just trust me that this is coming together. You will be able to see it later I think I said hello to Dale Santaford, but if I didn't hello. Hello. Yo, Joe Yo, Joe says mainframe should have had a second figure. He did have the Special mission Brazil figure, but of course that was basically the same as version one Just with them with different colors wild crazy colors. All right, so we've got a hose Comes out Trying to get that curve right there one of the rather obvious Lessons of an instructor at art school taught which frankly should have been obvious is that you're struggling With a curve at a particular angle on a page Turn the page just just tilt the page make it easier on yourself Why you're keeping it stationary right here and struggling to get this curve when you just just turn it that way and do it It's easier. These are the kind of invaluable things that you pick up when you go to art school Okay, okay, so we've got like Tank here like so The chest is going to be Different from on the figure. I did peek at the figure, you know But I didn't I didn't want to get it a little closer than that because I feel like yeah, there's this this piece here missing The that's okay. It's that's different, but I like it's different in a way that I like But it just needs a little bit of diddly-doo right there We don't want to forget the diddly-doo Heaven forbid if if we forgot the diddly-doo the whole thing would be ruined Okay, there we go Okay There all right, so Like an actual wetsuit would not show off the physique But it's hard to like Not When you're drawing something like this like show off a little bit of the musculature. Oh, thank you Dave Sonic Fighters psych out was my mainframe version two. Yeah. Yeah, actually, that's that's not a bad That wouldn't have been a bad mainframe now that you mention it So we're gonna have like the pinky here There we go Like so that's totally wrong Why am I why am I complicating the hands? Why am I complicating the hands hands are hard enough as it is? Why am I making it harder? so his his Left arm is a bit foreshortened. So the hand will appear Larger because it's closer. Let me show you progress There's progress all right Okay, okay All right, I'm probably gonna like this one better than the other one It's just a bit more dynamic and They're just more fun details to play with The original shipwreck is iconic. You can never replace that old 85 shipwreck But Battlecore shipwreck was still that was still a pretty good figure. Oh, thank you Rob Vegas Maybe next week. How about a 93 fishing trip Joes with outback Leatherneck and bazooka They could take the mud buster out for a spin. That sounds like a lot of fun Yeah, they get a vacation they get to go fishing they get a vacation I don't get a vacation, but they get a vacation. It's it's just unfair Okay, so All right here. It's coming along. I know it looks like scribbles right now, but we are about we are about to sharpen our pencil and throw some detail Into that head I'm gonna I'm gonna define that head a little bit And it's really gonna start to look like something It's really gonna start to look like something I wonder now. Okay. I was thinking what if I moved the camera? Oh, man. Oh Pencil shavings got on the page. I thought like what if I were to move the camera over to this side But I'm right-handed so then the camera would be even more in the way Oh That's true. I you know, it's a good point I haven't put peanuts in Pepsi in quite some time now. I've got a craving now. I've got a craving for it It is kind of a summer thing and we are Slowly Getting into warm weather finally Let's see. Let's do that So maybe maybe we'll do that in the summer and I would like to do more live streams outside outside especially as the As the sun stays up later, we have more daylight for later in the day Um, I wouldn't mind doing some live streams outside. See like right now. It's already dark. Um And I I that's I couldn't really do that. You wouldn't be able to see anything but As we get into the summer As we get into the summer That will change Is scuba mask Let's get a good shape for that It's got a like an over the head Strap which I always thought was unusual, but I I do kind of dig it Okay Coming together Okay All right, so this strap has some Ridges on it. Let's kind of Work that in Okay, so here's here's how she's looking Here how here's can you kind of see how that's going to come together? Can you see it now? All right Uh, thank you to the 46 people who are still here. That's really nice. Uh, hello forever young and I think, um Who else is here that I haven't said hello hello to anyone who has shown up that I haven't said hello to I'm sorry. I really do try to say hello to everyone. Let's do this Even though on the figure the strap really isn't there, but I just like the detail Well, you know what that's gonna work We're gonna go like that There like so and it's gonna be like So we've got some fingers okay Taking shape Taking shape You guys are all very very kind to stick around for this I want I want everybody to know that I do appreciate that Let's get him kind of a I round it off belt buckle And I believe he has like some diving weights So let's do that Like that. So let's give those some shape Kind of dummy out the perspective on those Yeah, something like that something like that All right, complete the belt like so All right, I feel like I need to I need to work on this arm here I need to work on this arm So, um, let's see That is actually gonna go That's bad Whoa Trying to make it better not worse like so Okay, and then we got like a strap here Needs to go like that Aside from Jim Lee any comic book artist who influenced you. Um Yeah, uh rod wiggum Um A lot just because he was on gi joe at a very formative time when I was really trying to Learn some new techniques as a very young artist Ron Wagner also from gi joe um Also, you know trying to learn some new techniques um Ron rod wiggum his style was very sharp uh and precise and Um When I was younger I think that kind of led to Some of my early drawings being kind of uh stiff And you know just not loose Because I was trying to uh copy a style that um You know, I didn't necessarily have the technical skill to pull off Uh, and then uh, Ron Wagner Ron wagger had a bit more of a loose style, but he could still get Uh, the precision when he wanted it um outside of of joe stuff, uh, david matzicelli Uh from uh daredevil born born again and batman year one Um, I just really really like that guy's style. Uh, not just the his Um Not just his uh, you know, not just just the way he drew but his um Uh his panel composition I felt was very cinematic You could really feel Uh just the flow of how the story went through the strength of the art and the You know the angles and the compositions um and uh I just I just really like that That's something that um if I were to Look at uh at improving and reaching a professional level Man, I would study that very closely And my understanding is that david matzicelli, uh Left the industry. I think he went, uh, he did like Some other kind of art Is my recollection I could be wrong about that, but that's that's what I recall anyway When I looked it up to see, you know, what he was What he's done lately Okay, we're we're about done here. We're about done. I think I think I need to put some detail in these in these air hoses Um But I think we're basically done Um Here's how it's coming. Um, let's see Yeah, okay When I was uh, oh, I guess it would have been what my early 20s late teens I got just as swept up in the uh The superstar artists as everybody else did. I I mean, I really liked uh, McFarland and um and jim lee Never was as enamored with, um With rob lifeld, but I did still occasionally pick up his stuff Because I mean I was reading a lot at the time Thank you ray, uh checking out a lot of uh Cool late 90s 2000 joes based on original o-ring construction If you were to receive a donated figure, we consider reviewing. I would consider reviewing. I certainly would not If I don't get to it though I don't want you to feel unhappy If you were to send send something and I did not get to review it Um, but I certainly would consider it Uh, so but if you're thinking about sending something do consider that please Please consider that is that if I'm unable to get to it. Would you would you feel disappointed that you sent it? uh, but that era is an era that um Like I know something about it, but it's not my uh area of Uh, uh collecting it's outside of the scope of what I generally collect um so Uh, so I don't I don't typically get it. I don't typically buy those things all right Okay, all right. I think Think we're about there. Okay. All right. So there we have shipwreck version two There let's see Yeah, okay. I think we're done. I think we're done Uh, so I'm gonna I I forgot this I gotta sign this one Forgot to sign this one. Let's sign this one here. Uh, we're in may now 2022 And I'll sign this one over here May 2022, okay. All right. That's it. So now I am done. I have done two drawings It is 841 by my clock Uh, thank you very much for watching. I am gonna wrap it up I do have uh more to do tomorrow. I I actually accomplished a lot today. I I essentially finish Uh an entire review today. So it's been a good day. It's been a good day Um But uh, but thank you everyone for being here. I really appreciate it. I love you guys I should be back next week and you should get uh a new video review On sunday. So thanks for your patience.
