Well, I tried some textured overlays and they worked!! I've just gotta do about 7 more and I'll be much better.
This picture is based on my childhood toys
"STARCOMS". They were the coolest things in the world, with magnets on their feet and visors on their helmets. They were only released for two years, but dang they were incredible. Here's my rendition of my imagination playing games

And yes, I tried to make it look like Spooges "Marathon" stuff. I didn't copy directly, but I just love the atmosphere he has in that series. |

starcom stuff was cool!!!
i completely forgot all about those things, but nothing beat gi joe and transformers stuff ah.. memories. oh and any one ever get those M.A.S.K. toys? they were cool too and so were the C.O.P.S. stuff. i didnt have much of that, just 2 little things, but there were cool cause you could put caps in the guns and fire them the cartoon was cool. cant find much of it on the net though.

People People, You are forgetting one major hero,
HE-MAN.
Probably one of the coolest guys you can get your hands on.
Dolph Lundgren sucked in the movie but it was still a bit fun.  |
