I wasn't sure I was gonna be able to do that because yes, it's like I'm the hoodie Coco. I Wasn't sure I was gonna be able to watch it live Just because of scheduling. I had some other things that I had to do This morning and early afternoon, but as it worked out the Hasbro pulse live stream kind of fit right between the things that I had to do So I was able to watch it. Hello codename new to Vera too So So, yeah, so anyway Thanks to I think say everybody for being here who we've got here Hello bloody card and Brad and I think I've said hello to everyone already I was stone gate per stone gate creations and Christian bricks.

It's been a little bit of a busy day. Not a bad day But a busy day. Oh, thank you Bradley. Good evening, sir. Good evening Bradley. Thank you very much for the super chat much appreciated Hello, Kevin Hasbro news. Hello, Albert's and Marshall Hasbro news there was a little bit of Hasbro news today mostly classified stuff In fact almost entirely classified stuff, but so a good amount of classified stuff We got some We finally got to see some physical examples of some of the figures that they've announced They have also thank you Ivan. I if nominated for president. I would accept the nomination We got some we got some announcement we announcements. We got some some digital samples some digital renderings of future You know future figures that are coming out Comic trope says wife thought sergeant slaughter was a bad guy when told her she was he was a good guy She said she would pronounce his name Sargeants laughter. That's I that sounds much nicer. Doesn't it that that sounds much more like the good guy Kill him with kindness make him laugh make him laugh So yeah, so there was there were some things There are some things so we'll talk. We'll try to talk about all of that and At the end of the live stream I would like to Switch to my two-camera setup again and And do a sketch so I have my sketch pad here. So if it doesn't get too late Maybe we can do some artwork in this one more time. Hello gray Fox I think I said hello to Glenn, but if not, hello Glenn Hello Christopher Williams and the killer weasel. I think I said hello to the killer weasel But if not hello again and woodman and JK siege welcome I think I said hello to sparkster. I am terribly sorry if I didn't hello spark sure Thanks for being here always happy to have you here So, yeah, um We'll talk a little bit about the announcements and We will After that, we'll I'll just draw something and I'll let one of you find folks decide what I will draw. Hello, Dave Thanks for being here Hello, Reini, uh, Reini Ryan Sweeney, I accidentally combined your first and last name into Reini Sorry about that From now on you will be known as Reini Hello, David Sharp and intergalactic classics and Rob Vegas. Thank you for joining and A gal Galvatum. Thank you for being here So, yes And and the tractor viewer, thank you for being here. Yeah, so um, I have I mean some of you are aware Already, but I have kind of been giving a lot of thought to the future of the channel And you know, how far I want to push it and how much I want to keep going and I've had to think about it. I've had to give some serious thought about it Because I mean there are some other life considerations that I really have to address It's it's something that I'd like to keep going if at all possible But I have to be realistic about what I can do Thank you comic tropes super chat to support draw. Thank you. Thank you very much But one thing that I am gonna do is I'm going to follow through with everything that I've said that I'm gonna do so far So we have raised money to go to Joe Fest and we are gonna go to Joe Fest I have already booked the hotels. It's all set. I just have to go And I did check with my my daughter and she still wants to go as well. So we are both going together That's at the end of June and then we have Cobra Convergence coming up and that it's been a challenge to put together But we're gonna put that together. We're gonna get it going and we are gonna have Cobra Convergence six this year so let's Yeah, maybe Elon Musk can purchase the channel. That's a brilliant. That's a brilliant idea I would it would be a bargain Only one billion dollars one billion. That's what to be but hey, that's pocket change, right? That's pocket change So yeah so On the positive side We'll be going to Joe Fest really looking forward to that and Yeah, I'm gonna bring some artwork. I've got to do a lot more drawing. I've got to do a lot more drawing The Haven't I have a thing about the the artwork and and just storing and shipping it And I don't know if there is if anybody has a solution to this if you do Send me an email or something so I put I put the artwork in these Plastic sleeves the last few ones that I have sent out I they were not in plastic sleeves because I ran out of them But I got some more of them and I found some plastic sleeves that will fit The 9 by 12 paper fits perfectly and I can find envelopes for shipping that perfectly fit The drawings what I need though is Like a pre-cut cardboard backer board That will fit that So that can be easily shipped or easily stored That's proved a challenge comic book backer boards are too narrow Magazine backer boards are wide enough, but they're too short and it's hard to find some that are like just the right size For this size paper you would think somebody makes that right surely somebody makes that so that is one of the annoyances that I've had with With sending stuff out and just and just storing artwork to begin with so Anyway, anyway That's neither here. They're there. I'll figure that out. I'll work that out. It'll it'll work out. Anyway The reason I thought of that was because of Joe Fest like I said I'm gonna bring bringing some sketches to Joe Fest. I will have sketches at my table. Hello C&C Joe show. Thanks for being here. Hello nyquist if I didn't say hello before I think I did but if not hello before Hello again I Charles that's a good question buying drawing You're the second person that to suggest that I you know take some commissions which I have done in the past But it's been a while So what I will try to do by the end of this week I'm gonna put it.

Thank you for being here Hello, cool dude. How do you do? We'll see if you in fact are a cool dude. We will we will test you we will put you We will we will hook you up to the coulometer Just to see how cool you are And CNC got a frag viper. Oh, I do remember doing a frag viper. That's been a little while. Oh, Joe fan I have not heard anything from Kevin I had tried to reach out to him, but I have not heard anything back I have to assume that he is just living life and he's just got other things going on which is okay I I get it. I understand I do But yeah, no have not have not heard from From Kevin in quite some time, so I do hope he's doing well. We are fans of Kevin. I like Kevin I like him. I like his show. I also like him as a person Thank you, Joshua. Thank you for being here and thank you for joining much appreciated. I'm glad you're here Yeah, yeah, thank you. Thank you very much Cool He Gray Fox here is cool dude is pretty radical. Well, his name is not radical dude So is it radical dude or is it cool dude? You know, I feel that these are two completely separate things Yeah So our let's okay. All right focus. I'm focusing now. This is me focusing you see this face This is my focusing face Okay, I'm focusing so today on the Hasbro Schindig We got to see some physical representations. Oh, thank you small-town machine shop high high everyone He says and high to you back. Thank you very big town machine shop What was I saying? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, so the Hasbro Schindig the we saw some Physical representations of some of the figures that are coming out. We saw who do we see we saw Dusty? We saw Zirana. We saw bazooka we saw Hold on no, I'll remember it was a Dusty crimson guard, that's an important one crimson guard and then we see also I GeForce Rekondo, I believe those are all the ones that we saw physical representations for but they made some announcements of some new Classified figures they announced a new snake eyes and timber This snake eyes appears to be more version 2 inspired or he said I think what do you say he said? Renegades inspired so there is some different coloration Hello, Bill and hello beach 76. Hello. Thank you for being here So we got to see actual physical representations of those before we had only seen We had only seen like the digital mock-ups So, I mean they look they look good they look good the bazooka is a tiger force and so is Rekondo to me what I think this means is that that you know, they're releasing the tiger force figures first as Target exclusives. They these are toy exclusives. Hello iconic plug 666. Hello. Thanks for being here Hello, the real I think I said I already said hello the real LR Aaron Collins, but hello again. Hello again I have done a review on the on raptor. I have indeed done a review. He laid an egg in that review So Yeah, they will I am absolutely certain they will release bazooka and What's his name Rekondo in in their standard colors I Mean that it's it would be relatively inexpensive for them to do that now Because they've already done the tooling for the the tiger force versions So now it's you know, it's really just a matter of recoloring them and reissuing them. And so eventually we will see We will see. Oh, I'll back to thank you. Great Fox We will see That's standard Retail like at the broad retail release of the standard colors in the future. I am pretty sure Yeah, the bazooka is Jersey color and tiger force makes no sense comic trope says yeah that I agree with that I mean the Jersey was a Reference to a specific team a Specific team and they changed the colors of the Jersey and like so what team does that go to you? I did it loses the reference that the original had So, yeah, yeah, I I'm with you there. I'm with you Yeah, I switched to the he switched to the bangles that that's it. Thank you Matt. Thank you. Oh I'm sorry intergalactic classics you sent a super chat. Let me hold on hold on shame on me Oh, yeah, I noticed the 1987 animated movie is available to buy in streaming form for the first time in several years Thank you and intergalactic classics, and I apologize. I did miss that. I was looking somewhere else. Sorry about that I try not to miss that but thank you, and that's actually really cool The way I was watching it was like I have like two or three copies of the movie like right up there And so it's nice to see that it's out now I'm not I'm not a massive fan of the 87 movie as you know, but it's an important part of the history of the brand It's you can't ignore it. Thank you Dave Hello everyone. Hope you are all well. Yeah, I think we are all well. I think we are all well. Thank you very much Thank you very much So, yeah, it's I think it's important it needs to be available Especially for those even if you whatever you think of the movie if you like it or don't It's still important To have access to that piece of history Yeah, you need to be able to see it so it is it's good. It's good that it's available That's actually really nice. Hello Cobra Island. Thank you for being here see See Bob's done just says wife said if we ever go to GI Joe convention She wants to dress up as flak viper and I can dress as a raptor. Yeah, I'd like to see you as raptor You do that. I you do that you do the raptor. That'll be a good one There was somebody That that used to do a raptor cosplay, but anyway anyway, so yeah We are we are rocking and rolling We did get some Some announcements that were surprising. I already mentioned Snake eyes and timber more of a What do they say renegades inspired snake eyes? At least in the colors at least in the colors the mold is more of a like a version 2 inspired which is fine Which is fine? I Have not reviewed the outpost defender thing that is one that I've been wanting to get to I do have it I do have it and I do like it. I like the outpost defender. That's a good one. I should do that one We also got a Tiger Force Duke with with A Tiger Force Ram motorcycle, so I mean both of those are repaints They they're not You know, they're not original nothing already on them are original But that that kind of keeps with the tradition of Tiger Force though Because the whole idea behind Tiger Force was just recoloring old stuff So you I mean you may want the Ram motorcycle in Tiger Force colors I don't know. I'm on defense about it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know about that one. It looks nice But I don't know They they didn't I have to commend them. They made a very tough choice and it would have been a tough choice I'm sure they struggled with it They made the tough choice to make Tiger Force Duke blonde Instead of with brown hair as the vintage figure was hello Sean Beckett So they they made a tough choice there not everyone will agree with that But they had to pick one or the other right they had to pick one or the other Gentle Giant says hello from Hawaii or says hi from Hawaii. Hi Hawaii from the United States That's a joke Hawaii is part of the United States. Hello, and thank you for joining Dave E says as a kid. I pretended Raptor was a superhero. You could do that. See I Would I would pretend that Raptor is condor man Raptor as condor man. I that that's where I would go with that Hello giraffe Yes, Zorana We talked a little bit about the the ones that that they had physical Samples of we didn't we kind of glossed over Zorana. Zorana is Probably the big hit of that group Although the Crimson Guard figure looks mighty good But that's Zorana is Nice and they have a couple different hairstyles for the figure. They have the like The faux-hawk thing that the the vintage figure did I think the only thing I'm disappointed about The only thing I'm a little disappointed about what did I see Sergeant Slaughter's Slaughterhouse? I did hello Sergeant Slaughter's Slaughterhouse We're getting to that. We're getting to it. I haven't got to it yet. We're getting to it The only thing I'm a little disappointed about with Zorana is I feel like they should have given her earrings because that would have been a really nice reference to the variant figure and Like they could do that reference pretty easily. I mean if we can get a pimp Daddy Destro Which is a fairly deep cut as far as GI Joe figures goes Then we can give Zorana some earrings, but I didn't give her earrings I can live with that they did give her two different styles of hair and it's a pretty good looking figure It really is That one I would like to get but I I will probably compulsively have to pick up The Crimson guard that is You know that they didn't do a lot with the Crimson guard. It is Very much vintage inspired. It is very very very close to to the vintage figure but I Don't care. It just looks really nice. It's a Crimson guard. It's a six inch scale Crimson guard. It's It looks really good. It looks really good Let's see what else I Guess I guess it's time to get to the the the big one. So the big announcement was a Classified series Sargent slaughter that Was that was that was the big one and that was a surprise. I had I did not see that coming at all Oh, thank you, Henry. Thank you for being here live. Nice to see you. I Think I think I'm alive. Hello. Let me check. I Have a pulse. I am live so yes The I didn't see the sergeant slaughter coming. They had the actual sergeant slaughter do the announcement of the figure That I'm sure shocked a lot of people Rob Vegas says shout out to sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse all Aussie episode from the From the weekend be sure to check it out on YouTube. Check out Sergeant slaughter slaughterhouse on YouTube. Very good show. Very good show Coding YouTube air to miss the beginning of pulse today given update on no, they didn't give it was very short they did they didn't I Think based on what they said I think they're saving a lot of stuff for June apparently there are a lot of announcements coming in June So this one was really pretty short. It was pretty short but the the sir, I think the sergeant slaughter was the bombshell and For those of us who have been around a little bit No doubt raised some eyebrows raised some eyebrows because of this Because we recently got a sergeant slaughter in the six inch scale from action force by By valor verse and this this was fairly recent. Hello chewing bubblegum. Nice to see you So Oh and intergalactic classic says well, is that valor verse guy gonna be yeah, probably so probably so What that means though? At least I'm assuming it means that The license valor verse had for sergeant slaughter must either have not been an exclusive License at that scale or it was a very short-term license I don't know and it's none of my business. It doesn't matter, but Apparently like as soon as the opportunity was available the serge says yes sign me up. I'm a Joe So, okay, okay, I I've got to get the figure because I want well I want I want to classify sergeant slaughter But I also want to stand it next to this guy I did already review this. There are some things that we know are different between classified and these figures The classified figures Had the the valor verse figures. Oh, thank you Dave Bobby Valla said it was great for all the fans. That's great That's good. That's good the The valor verse figures do not have some of the unsightly pins in the joints that classified figures have They also have a different style of chest articulation and it really just depends on you what your preference is Because honestly the chest articulation I'm not a fan of either way they do it I think that is a very it's just an awe that chest cut whether you do it like this or like this. It's very awkward Thank you Matt Rubin if Hasbro says the Sarge's has Sarge's license again Let's hope for the renegades and the marauders. That is a possibility that is a possibility now So yeah that that chest cut it's like on the one hand You do want a figure to be able to do an ab crunch But no matter how you cut it if you cut it right here without something covering it like a vest or like Zartan's chest piece that can kind of cut at that point. It's just it looks very awkward to me. So It's to me like neither of them is better than the other it's just it It's it's a problem with a figure like like bazooka that has like a printed t-shirt so he has like Printed design that goes over that cut and it's just I don't think there's any way to not let it look awkward so, you know, it just depends on how How that works out? I'm there's another thing I'm very curious about and this is why I have to get the figure and put it side by side with this one This is a six inch figure. This is a true Six inch action figure and if you if you stand this figure next to your classified Duke They're basically the same size they scale but the way sergeant slaughter was portrayed in The animated series he was a hulking guy. He was big tall wide and And Some classified figures are a bit taller than average There they've already produced some bodies that are larger like your roadblocks and your gung-hoes Now if they do that sergeant slaughter in that larger size I'm I'm really curious how that will stack up I hope they do because I think it should be in that larger size If they if they do it in average size if they do it like straight six inch like like Duke size or or snake eyes size then Then I honestly it'll just be a matter of aesthetics I think between these two and I'll I would set them side by side and just see how the aesthetics work Yes, he was Superman says comic tropes Oh, that's awesome Okay, cool. Cool. I was just reading Henry's your channel inspired me to fix my collection Went through Hurricane Katrina in New New Orleans. Wow. That's I'm that's amazing Found some AC o-rings that worked in my shed. Awesome. Cool. Excellent. Very good. I'm and I'm glad you are okay after the hurt You know, I hope you didn't have to go through that. That's That's frightening but but good. Good. I'm glad that you you're getting that up and going Yeah, I would thank you Dave Sergeant slaughter owns the trademark. That is true. That is true and So anyone that produces a sergeant slaughter figure be it Hasbro or anybody else has to get a license Has to get a license to use his likeness and his character So apparently, you know Hasbro has that for now Hasbro has been doing away with the pin joints in Star Wars black series Power Rangers Lightning collection and some of Marvel Legends. That's interesting Matt. Now. I'm not as Down on the pins the pins don't bother me as much as they do some People on some figures we looked at a Kiko from the snake eyes movie series and there was a pin in the leg at the knee that was Pretty bad. That was that was pretty unsightly a Lot of the times I can overlook at it overlook it, but Oh, that's okay Dave He could license likeness to multiple companies now it depends on what's in the license. I'm sorry. I missed Josiah Speaking of crown funny check out big bag toy store for Joe like Eagle Force figure pre-orders in stock including Larry Hama That's right. And thank you Josiah Eagle Force who remembers Eagle Force Anybody remember Eagle Force and and Dave don't worry about English being your second language. You're doing great I think everybody can understand everything you're saying you're doing alright. It's cool Anyway says he can license his likeness to multiple companies No issues WRE owns tree mark for shirts. Yeah, so It really does if he owns the Intellectual property if he owns the character and of course his likeness He can he can lease it to whoever he wants and it just depends on License it to everyone's it just depends on what the license says the license will be governed by its language so for instance if He were to say I'm giving you the license to use my likeness and my character in six-inch figures Then you can do a six-inch figure But then you go to some other guy and say I will give you the license to do to use my likeness and my name in four-inch figures And as long as those two licenses that don't have language that conflicts you can do both you can you can What would be a problem is if you said You know, I'm going to I'll give you both Exclusive license to do four-inch figures That would be a problem Anyway, anyway action figure expert Is it true that's a sergeant cancel a Joe fest this year and Episode you think this announcement of new Hasbro figures has anything to do with that. I It is true. He okay. He didn't exactly cancel. He won't be there but I don't think it was a cancellation so much as a scheduling conflict because he had already booked a convention that weekend and I don't know what was booked when but my impression was that it was It was a scheduling conflict that that's what it looks like to me. So yeah, Sergeant Slaughter will not be at Joe Fest Which is too bad. I Larry Hama. I believe also has a conflict so he can't be at Joe Fest as well However Ron Rudat will be there. Everybody should know who Ron Rudat is Ron was the figure designer for most if not all of the GI Joe action figures from 1982 to about 1986 and he designed several vehicles. Thank you Matt Rubin as long as the figures are different enough not to be confused with each other Correct. It depends on the license honestly like because If you're talking about the sergeant slaughter lighters, I don't want to necessarily talk about the sergeant slaughter license because I don't know specifically what that is but Speaking in general terms in general terms You can license your property to do two different entities As long as you don't giving two people exclusive rights to the same thing And the really the language of the license will govern that You could do a non-exclusive license. It doesn't have to be exclusive Unlike you could say you could write out a license that says, you know for for this amount of money I will license the use of my character to you To do a specific thing with it for a specific amount of time, but it's not an exclusive license So if I want somebody else to do basically the same thing that they could get a license to I don't know why you would want to do that But you could you it really just depends on what the language of of the the license is essentially the contract um Yeah, thank you mcdj acdc. So uh, come and see me. Uh, come and see ron rudat. Um Ron he's just a really cool guy. I like him a lot And uh, you will want to go and see him and say hi And show him some appreciation, you know Um, I think I I think he is enjoying the kind of Notariety that he's getting now and he worked on gi joe for a good long time and He was sort of working on gi joe before there was a gi joe Like he was custom. He was doing other toys and he would like Customize them and paint them like gi joe vehicles Intergalactic classics. Um, I want the figures from the fake ad in the in the community episode. Yeah wingman fourth wall tight ship Zim Zim Yeah Yeah, I like that. See surely somebody has Customized that the killer weasel says o-rings forever I understand the sentiment but sadly o-rings do not last forever If you could get some o-rings to last forever because let me see like I should like Probably have some right here like Yeah, I like look at this Yeah, this is what happens to him unfortunately so, yeah Um Anyway, but I get I get what you mean. I get what you mean. I got what you mean, um and Um, I since they are apparently saving a lot of announcements Until june I'm guessing there will be some o-ring announcements in june. That's my that's my guess. That's my guess Um blow torch and ice cream soldier two packs. See dav has the idea dav has the idea Um, oh bart says he'll be at joe fest. Hey, all right. Good to see him Um, come see me and take pictures with my display. Okay. I will all right Don't let me forget, you know, just go like throw something at me. Don't throw anything at me. I'm very fragile But just say something. Don't just say something um Uh, pretty sure rob uh shrab made those community joe figures. Yeah, I'm I'm sure like I'm sure somebody has like done that. It's it's just too popular and well known for for nobody of to have taken their own crack at it um If someone bow had stayed with the series after gi joe the movie 80 70 you think season three would have been better um, very possibly, um I I'll tell you what this is what i'll say to that. I think it would have been better Than deek I think it would have been better than deek Uh, would it have been better than season two? Uh, maybe I mean I would have liked to have seen uh some 87 88 Characters and vehicles, you know brought around Uh, but even if it wasn't better, um, it still Would have been better than what we got in later years Um, anyway, anyway, so yeah, good question. Good question. Um Uh, can't repair a broken hip ball. That's what my doctor keeps telling me. Yeah, that's true um A raptor crystal ball two pack and uh, I I'm with you right there bobs dungeon. In fact, I insist I insist on a raptor crystal ball two pack um We are at the by my clock. It's 7 38 and I think I I think I'll draw some some uh something. I think we're like at the back half of the show Uh, so let me see if I can set this up And we will draw something We'll draw something Um, it's a little different from how I had it before Uh, Josiah says o-ring fans. Uh, yes a call sign longbow Kickstarter coming next month Uh, check out what's on Joe mine for more updates on friday. Yes, uh, and thank you. Oh my goodness Um, thank you Josiah for reminding me of that Um, make sure you check out what's on Joe mine on friday also Um to the taze tuesday, which means there is a new episode of uh, half the battle with timmer Make sure you check that out of that out of swear. Well, Dave says i'm going to joe fest want to meet everybody there See you at joe fest Dave. I will see you there and i'm looking forward to that too I would like to meet everybody um Uh, let's see, uh, koden any to be here. Is he working on something new koden 3d chose? Um Kickstarter of an og gi joe team. I'm sorry. I apologize. I missed the first part of that conversation So let me see Let me see here Um, let's see. I'm going to attempt Uh, yeah, I'm gonna I will draw a bart a bath I'm going to attempt to switch to my two camera setup And uh, see if we can do this. Uh, now, uh, when I switch it It usually means is going it'll freeze here, but what we're gonna try it anyway I'll have to unfreeze the camera But this is totally gonna work. Let's let's do some drawing Let's do some drawing Uh, and let's see two camera Okay, there's there's me. Let's fix this There This is totally gonna work be patient with me folks. I'm getting it Okay, wow that did not work. Um, okay, uh, let me fix this hold on hold on. Yep. Yep did that wrong Did it wrong did it wrong? Wow, I think I had that set up. What did I do to it? It was set up what did I do Wow, okay. Hang on folks. Don't worry. This is totally gonna work It's it's gonna work. What are you worried? I'm not worried This is dumb. This is this is why you gotta do you gotta do show prep This is this is what show prep is for but then I had I I did the show prep and I tested it And it was working fine Working fine until I actually needed to work Uh, let's see here Let's make this bigger so you can seize it Uh, let's see and make this smaller There we go All right, you know, this is this is just what you get, you know Ah Not pro work. I gotta say not pro work. Okay. Here we go. All right. So this is that Uh, okay, so let me get this in an angle where I can actually see the page That is totally not working That is super not working Um, okay. Well, that's not too bad That's not too bad. Uh, okay, so Let's decide let's decide how what we're gonna draw Um, I'm gonna do this in the totally unscientific way that I did it last time It is completely unfair It's completely unfair Uh, because I know some of you will have more lag than others Uh, but here's how we're gonna do it. Um Uh, type the name of a gijo character that you would like me to draw into the The the chat and the first one I see Is the one that'll draw unless it's one that I've done recently but Just type which any gijo character you would like for me to draw in the chat King kino says slaughter, you know, I I think that wins it. I think that's a pretty good idea Let me grab, you know, I don't think I need to grab the figure. I was gonna grab the figure I'm gonna do sergeant slaughter. That's the first one I saw um And I apologize I know that's a terrible way to decide thing and there's another vote for sergeant slaughter with comic tropes um I was gonna grab the figure so that I could use it as a reference but honestly, um I I I think I can draw sergeant slaughter Without looking at the figure the uniform's pretty basic. Uh, but let's let's figure out a pose for the guy. Okay What's sergeant slaughter What's a sergeant slaughter pose? You could do like a really basic like Hands on the hip kind of thing I don't know if you can see that Kind of like that Um, that's kind of plain though Uh, so what about like leaning forward Like so with his arms kind of out in a in an an angry bear pose And we'll try to do the full body. So we're gonna do like Half crouched here sort of Something like something like that. I don't know. I'm not I'm not sure about that though. I just don't know that that looks right um Let's think let's think um I think I am gonna go with the classic hands on the hips pose because I just I just think that looks better Um, I am also gonna stop for just a moment and grab my water I'm gonna grab my water and I will be I will be right Uh, right back. Uh one second time out be right back I have water And let's draw a sergeant slaughter Uh, now as we have mentioned before Uh drawing it flat like that is a little bit awkward Uh, better to have it tilted up like this. So i'm gonna tilt it up like this for the early stages of the drawing And then I'll kind of lay it flat so you when I finish it up so you can see it a little better Let's sharpen this uh this pencil a little bit Um Uh, it's how's everybody doing? Hello paul walsh. I don't think I saw you come in. Thank you for joining And let's see here. Um, and I I think I'm gonna do a version one Uniform for sergeant slaughter because I think it's just a little more interesting So let's let's do that, huh? All right, so here we go Uh, we're gonna have a head up here To get the full body end and the shoulders need to be about there I will draw him with his, uh, gijo physique rather than you know his real physique But we're gonna have like Really wide stance that see that's that's what i'm talking about. That's It's easy to get the proportions totally wrong When you are drawing flat So that's how we need to do it if we're gonna do this pose something like that something like that Uh, okay, let me clean that up. Oops Yeah Still haven't replaced my kneaded eraser Why haven't I replaced it because I forgot? Okay, so I think that's about right So we're gonna make him impossibly muscular Completely inhuman Uh, because that that is how he was portrayed in the comic book. I mean he uh comic tropes Pointed out he was basically superman. He was unbeatable unstoppable I Mean with just the sheer power of his muscles He destroyed the cobra bats that could not be defeated with lasers But he doesn't need lasers Okay Bear with me just for a moment Okay Something along those lines And then it got the tank time. Da da da. It's got a whistle It's got a usa And we won't really see the sides of his Legs too much. So don't worry too much about that. I've got the belt Like so legs Proportional feet Something like that You know for the longest time I always assumed That the version two sergeant slaughter was just Recolored from version one, but it's not really it's not actually I mean some of it is like the top half of it is But the legs are actually slightly different Okay, so this is that's the shape that we're man that The proportions are much better in person, but that's the story a little bit by the camera. Okay, sorry. Here we go um, anyway, uh Comic tropes says you needed to do that. Yes. I needed I I needed to uh To replace my needed eraser I can needed to do that um Yes, I I think I know where you're going with that Uh comic tropes All right, let's see So let's let's start at the top and kind of get the Shape of the hat and he's got that That campaign hat the smoky the bear hat very distinctive Like so and we're gonna give It should it should have a A marine core badge on the On the front but on the figure it has the the sergeant chevron So we're gonna do it like the figure even though it's wrong We're gonna do it that way it's got a Big Jay Leno chin I'm sorry. I'm used to doing this by myself and not Not having to have people watch So I will do my best to actually show this to you as I go The thing is I just put that in the wrong spot if I'm gonna do The face the way I intend to so like so like so sunglasses Kind of a a short nose and a little mustache Something like that I apologize. It's I can't really look at the chat while i'm looking down at this but If you will bear with me We should have a A completed drawing by the end of this show. So we're coming along. I'm just using this page to sort of Cover my uh my hand here because I do tend to rest my hand on the page quite a lot Hello, chris. Uh, nice to see you. Thank you for being here I don't know if I said hello to sean beckett if I didn't I apologize. Hello, uh, yo-jo oc And uh, paul walsh. I think I said hello to paul. Hey, there's gazz. I don't think I said hello to gazz Hi gazz and hello don lane And anybody else that I missed I saw sorry if I missed anybody So he's gonna have a thick like A thick linebacker neck and like Really over muscled shoulders That go right into his arms You got to try to get the arms proportional Let's see. So he's gonna have like A collarbone that goes like that Big oversized chest He gets this musk muscular From lifting tanks like so Like so now he had He had some like armbands. He had some armbands and All right. Okay now. I just got to get it right on this side and then we're golden Uh, thank you for your patience everyone. Thank you. Thank you Uh, let's see Uh, thank you comic tropes. It's a it's a bit of a generic pose. It's pretty Pretty easy, but um, but you know, I just sometimes to capture the The essence of a character you kind of have to go with what seems natural For that character. So This is definitely natural for sergeant slaughter Okay, there there there there. Okay Um, let's see how we looking Not terrible. We are at least not yet. We are not looking terrible So let's get the the rib cage All right, and we got like the Yeah, there we go Like so now we got to get the belt the belt is almost the only real bit of detail like of intricate detail on this uniform This is not the one with the camouflage uh, so we're gonna try to kind of dummy in a uh eagle globe an anchor Like that. It's not gonna be perfect, but you know It's a sketch Okay, so let's see here. All right, there we go Okay, so now I've already run into a problem and that is that my Upper body does not quite connect where it needs to be on the for the lower body. So Let's fix that Okay Let me see if I can show you how it's coming There is so far it's It's hard to get an angle on the camera where you can see it without it looking like if I angle it like this It looks like his head's really big if I angle it look like this. It looks like his head's really small But from my point of view it it's proportional. You'll just have to trust me on that so All right, so there we go. There we go now Let's get the thighs about the right width and then the lower legs and then he has some like Super tall boots that are not that not exactly like real combat boots sort of uh, you know Suggestive of real combat boots Um, see that's let's see heal heal. Okay Okay, but they are laced up in the front So we're gonna try to get that I tell you like the the boots is often where A drawing for me can kind of fall apart because by the time I get there. I'm like I'm out of gas So let's let's try let's try not To screw up other boots All right like so Okay All right, we're coming along. Oh, I'm sorry. I missed Josiah Kickstarter fully funded for uh funded but marauders vietnam line looks Um Amazing perfect figured for custom tommy lanzo an anonymous blonde guy. That's cool Um, yeah, that's that is cool. Um, I uh, I believe um Dan clingensmith's Book like the sixth volume of his, um Pre-production book series also funded So, yeah, we've had some success with the the kick starters lately And that's great and there are more coming There are more coming Okay, all right. So here's the serge as it stands now um Now let's try to Let's try to try to finish him up. Let's try to finish him up It is almost already eight o'clock. So we will go a little bit late. I just don't want to leave the drawing unfinished So we need to sharpen this just a tiny bit Wish I had thought to bring with me some way to easily take care of the pencil shavings, but oh well Okay, so let's take this and fill in the detail And get ourselves a finished sergeant slaughter. So let's Let's be confident now With our lines Being confident with my lines is not One of my strong suits, but we're going to try it anyway. So Let's get that hat I apologize for moving this out of the range of the camera All right little hat band there I've done enough guidelines for this thing that it should Be easy, but nothing is easy for me None of this is natural Uh, I used to have a friend named Shane when I was a kid and We both would draw a lot draw a lot of gi joe and other things and um It's always envious of his style Because his style was very loose and very free And my style really wasn't Um, I worked, you know, I worked a lot on fundamentals. I tried to develop um You know, um Anatomy and perspective and all that but uh But I felt my drawings could just feel a bit stiff Whereas his drawings I felt were just seemed a lot More loose Uh, and that was cool. All right hang hang with me. Sorry. I know this is um At an awkward angle, but I just got a sorry I had to get a line there Okay, we're we're coming along we're coming along All right, let's see Let's get a nose A little mustache I don't want to overdo it with lines on the serge's face because Uh, this is one where if you if you do too much it can become too much very very quickly So there's that Let's see I'm gonna have some lines on his neck All right, we've got some Pretty tough-looking shoulders Let's draw in that tank top shirt here for a moment Uh, and you know, I I I've met sergeant slaughter before I like the guy very nice guy Um And he seems to really enjoy Uh being part of gi joe Um like he still wears um The gi joe camouflage, uh fatigues at shows at conventions and stuff And i'm not 100 sure, but I think it might be the same one that he wore In uh in like the the the commercials It looks like the same one So like he he's a pretty good ambassador for gi joe totally honest um But having said that uh serge I have to I have to be honest Um hasbro and sunbow the animators Were a bit generous on the physique um Now it's and it's fantasy right it's fantasy. I get that I get it. I get it's fine. I wouldn't have it any other way I'm just saying They were a little generous on the physique And the hair Is that sergeant slaughter version three with the removable hat that had a full head of hair It had a full head of hair and I have seen pictures You know from you know back around 1989 I've seen pictures Have we have we ever had a balding? Not a bald joe But a balding joe like a joe with male pattern baldness. I guess like we've had some joes with receding hairlines but But but I don't recall any joes with like a A bald patch We should have We can have a joe with a bald patch that that happens to real people I think that's I should make that my My crusade that's my campaign Is to get hasbro to produce a joe with male pattern baldness Hasbro if you had any courage at all You'd give us a joe that looks like a real man and by real man I mean a man with uh with with a just just a bare patch right there, you know it happens You know you can give them Now here's a sculpting and design challenge for you hasbro You need to have the the bald patch But you you have a comb over like it doesn't quite cover the whole thing That's what he's having he needs to have a comb over that doesn't quite cover the whole thing and you can it's really you can see it You can see it but there's nothing wrong with that. That's just that's normal that happens to people just I think it's it's unfair that uh that that these things are That are are not um our thought of to to be some kind of deficiency in our society why it it happens it happens to people Uh, so yeah, that's what i'm saying. Um hasbro Uh use spineless wimps give us a bald gi joe Abalding gi joe we've okay. Are we back? Okay, I think we're back. Hold on Lee. Uh, let me see if I can refresh this Okay, how are we looking? Okay, sorry about that. I think I think we're back um All right. Yeah, um, okay. We're back. Um, and here's the progress. Let's see if we can kind of Tilt this up a little bit. There's the progress progress on the sarge um Let's continue Let's continue Sorry about that. Yeah, my my entire internet crapped out. Um Um And I had to restart so that was Not fun Uh, so what i'm doing here in the meantime Uh is i'm i'm putting i'm adding some laces to these uh To these boots just just for a little bit of detail I know it's a sketch and and I shouldn't have to do a lot of detail on a sketch like this, but Um, I like to add just a little something Like that and then there will be like Ringlets for The laces Okay, yep did that wrong did it wrong did it wrong fix it then if I did it wrong then fix it Fix it Okay, here we go like that There we go I knew I could figure it out Okay All right, let's do the same tedious thing to the other boot. Thanks for your patience guys. I apologize. I apologize Looks like we've got audio and everything Yes, Oklahoma internet. What what what can I say? What can I say? Um, this one is one that I will bring with me to Joe fest. So if anybody wants to grab it You can get there Um And um, maybe I'll spend spend some of this week doing some drawing Doing some commissions and whatnot That's not a bad way to spend a week, huh? I'm sure we lost a lot of people Uh during my internet hook hiccup Totally understandable. I appreciate you all being here. I appreciate everybody who's still here And everybody who isn't here is I I understand so But thank you for being here for the rest of the night Okay, so, you know the basic boots You got your basic boot now on the figure there was a On the figure there was a Like a sergeant chevron on the on the boot itself For some reason so what the heck we'll just do it Like that and kind of like on this one too Okay, um, so i'm almost done. I just need to finish up the chest basically I need to do this usa Now I could I could add a lot more muscle detail on the chest But you know, he's got a shirt on and cloth doesn't actually like stick And form fit quite that well, you know the reason Superheroes wear tights I believe Is because it's basically easier to draw For the artist you're basically doing a nude and putting a cape on it or whatever um some Some comic book artwork though Is a little too drastic with the musculature And gets and it's it's not just like drawing a nude figure With a costume, you know painted on it's like if you ripped all the skin off And you saw like the individual muscle fibers Some comic book artwork can be like that in drawing the muscles on superheroes And uh and that that kind of that kind of amuses me um Yeah, cloth just does not work that way like at all Uh, but I think you know what I think that's it. It it's not perfect, but it's good enough. So there's our sergeant slaughter There's our sergeant slaughter like so There we go So yeah, this is it. I think I am going to call that a night. Thank you for everyone Let me I gotta sign it. I gotta sign it. Let's sign it right here um We're still in april 2022. Okay. All right, it is signed It is signed. Here we go. All right.
