I'm not working on a game for G.I.Joe (though I have been thinking about it) right now. But I was talking on the phone and I started doodling characters in Photoshop and this is the result. I know they're blocky, but I like it.
What do you all think?

Any and all C+C is welcome. ::)

EDIT - Edit was to the title
yay! GI joe! I always thought Scarlet was hot. one of my childhood favorites. along with transformers and he-man.
80's cartoons rock!
Ohhh...now I wish you were doing a GI Joe game.
wow great work
reminds me of the good old action figure days ;)
So ... even though I'm
not making a game outta this stuff, I decided to do some of the Joes.

I'm thinking of maybe making cartoons outta these w/ Flash. That could be cool I guess.

Take my advice: Make a game of of these stuffs! Otherwise you'll be beaten by furious AGSers.
It looks like Duke has an extremely phat penish :)
the crotches are a bit odd,
other then that, great work ;)
Why do you think Scarlet was always all over Duke??
I've updated the crotches:

Do these look better? I also lowered Snake Eyes' belt so they weren't all exactly the same height/proportions.
hit me with some more see and see ...

You didn't change Flint's...area.
If you DON'T make a game you should at least make animations for all of these and release them as a sprite pack or something. I will host them! ;D
I think they look great. The blocky style rocks.
I SOOO loved the Crimson Twins and Crimson guards. You should do Destro and the Baroness. Oh, and doesn't one of the twins have a scar...you should try to add that if you can. Xamot was the one with the scar? Is that right.
Cool stuff!

I fixed Flint's crotch and changed Duke's suspenders.

Junc - I'm planning on making some animations. I'm also working on Destro, the Baroness, Major Blood, and Cobra Commander right now.
dm
I've added Cobra Commander, Destro, The Baroness, Major Blood, and (my personal favorite) Firefly. I'm on a roll ...

I thought there might be more G.I.Joe fans on here ??? But thanks to those of you so far! 8)
[EDIT] - Do any of you know any links to G.I.Joe sites with good art of the characters? I am doing all of these from memory so they're prolly pretty inaccurate. All my old comics and toys are in my parent's attic down in Florida. I searched Google but didn't really find anything worth while.
[/EDIT]Yo Joe!

I was having problems with this site just now...but I really like it. Cobra was always the coolest anyway.
Perhaps this will inspire or help:

junc Bloody brilliant!! Did you make those? Those rock my world and have totally inspired me to continue with this. I'm afraid I might like them better ;D
They have a definate different style than mine. They remind me of the Yoda Stories style (which just rocks!)
I'll get working on something new ...

www.yojoe.com
it has lots of links and you should be able to find what you're after. Hell I haven't been there in so long that I'd say I was due back myself.
I really like how the cobra commander looks but I think his legs look a little fat. You should make a Serpentor. This I command!
I just had to try my hand at cobra commander.

No, I didn't make them...I wish. That NoJoy guy just makes all of the most kick butt things from my childhood. He did a great smurf set in the same RPG style. I always meant to do something with those and the GI Joe ones...
I love the red carpet shot! Keep em comin', this is great stuff. Personally I like your versions more than the NoJoy ones. I think you could make a killer adventure game with them.

Make this game! Make this game! Make this game!
Looks like it would make a great adventure or even RPG.
Or even a movie made in AGS.
Cool stuff!
