Guardians of the Galaxy Super Bowl Trailer!

Everyone has been waiting patiently or otherwise for the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer, to be directed by James Gunn! Even the Guardians of the Galaxy themselves have gotten excited and, although it has been stated that there will be no such trailer for the 2014 Super Bowl, Starlord has told the rest of the Guardians otherwise and said that he could prove it! While visiting Southern California he told them that there was a secret screening location where he could show them the Super Bowl trailer before the big game! So Starlord took them on a little walk on a trail to the actual Super Bowl trailer out in some field surrounded by a few trees. It was an old boarded up, abandoned trailer home that Starlord took the liberty of spray painting the image and name of his team on along with a painted Super Bowl as part of his prank! Looking at the picture you could see the reaction of the Guardians themselves! 8D

Just to make it clear, there is not really going to be a Guardians of the Galaxy movie trailer as stated by awesome director James Gunn himself. Instead, Disney has a great deal of marketing plans coming along in the not to distant future, including a movie trailer that will blow everyone away long before the movie actually arrives!

Don't Mess with Groot!

Evil skrulls plan to attack an innocent city to expand their territory, but the Guardians of the Galaxy wont let that happen! One skrull was dumb enough to come at Groot, the tree guy, at close range so he just got captured. A number of skrulls are shooting at Groot to no effect, they're up against more than they can handle! 

I made this picture at the request of a friend from Facebook, Andrew Guevarra, during a small chat session. Also, that bright colorful thing behind Groot is a nebula, not too far from the planet that these guys are currently fighting! 8D

Year of the Raccoon

Though 2014 is the Year of the Horse in the Chinese Zodiac, it's going to be the Year of the Raccoon when it comes to the silver screen as Rocket Raccoon is to play a major roll in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy coming out on August 1, 2014 directed by awesome director James Gunn! 

I tried to make Rocket resemble Oreo Raccoon, whom Rocket's physical characteristics are modeled after,  to the best of my ability so far. The Chinese gateway in the background was pretty much modeled on the Gateway to San Francisco's Chinatown and Rocket is standing with one foot on a lucky gold coin! Gung Hay Fat Choy! 8D
