Blackjack in a Ticklish Situation!

It turns out that Blackjack O'Hare managed to find one of the Infinity Stones and decided that he could make a lot of money by selling it to either the Collector or Thanos. Rocket heard Blackjack talking about it in a bar in an orbiting space station. Rocket was with his girlfriend Lylla at the time and he questioned Blackjack if he had the stone on him and he told them that he didn't and that it was hidden. When Rocket asked, while pointing a gun, Blackjack where the stone was hidden he refused to tell them while claiming that even the threat of death wouldn't be enough to get the location of the stone away. Blackjack then pulled out his own guns, but Lylla jumped Blackjack from behind and they both grabbed blackjack and took him on a spaceship that they were using at the time that even came with titanium stocks so they could handle anyone that gave them problems. Rocket though that a bit of pain would get Blackjack to reveal the location of the infinity stone. Lylla thought that would be too harsh and unnecessary, she knew of Blackjack's biggest weakness and told Rocket that she would like to try that first. Blackjack had no idea what was about to happen to him "Whatever you guys try is going to fail, you'd better off just letting me go. You can't get it out of me!" Rocket shot back at Blackjack "Oh, well get it out of you, we have a plan!" 

Rocket and Lylla both approached Blackjack's bound and exposed feet. "What are you going to do?" said Blackjack confidently. "Are you going to beat the information out of me? I'm sure your Lylla wouldn't allow it, she has morals don't you know?" Rocket looked at Blackjack and grinned "It wont be necessary to cause you pain, I know your secret!" Blackjack rolled his eyes "Yeah right, you have no idea where the stone is. That reverse psychology wont work on me, I'll never tell!" Rocket looked at Blackjack and grinned "That's not the secret that I meant." Rocket pulled out a yellow feather "I heard from Lylla that you are ticklish. Now are you ready to talk?" 

Blackjack gulped and started quivering "Heh, that ain't gonna work." he said nervously. "You're wasting your time, just let me go!" Blackjack started pulling and tugging at his hand restraints and his feet sticking out of the stocks, while even his big toes were tied to keep his feet from escaping the coming torture. "This is going to be fun!" stated Rocket as he began moving the feather along the sole of Blackjack's right bare foot. Blackjack wiggled and squirmed while moving his head back and forth. A grin soon appeared on the dark bunny's face as he was trying to hold it all in, but then he burst into crazed laughter! "Wah! HA! HA!HA!HA! HA! HA! STOP!" Rocket grinned at Blackjack's humorous torture "I will, if you tell me the location of the stone." "NEVER! HA! HA! HA! HA! PLEASE STOP! HA! HA! HA! HA! I WONT TE! HE! HA! HA! HA! TELL YOU! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Lylla thought the site of the situation was so humorous that she couldn't resist joining in the fun and began tickling Blackjack's left foot with her finger. "HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! PL PLEASE, HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! You! YOU GUYS ARE DRIVING ME CRAZY! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" Rocket smiled sinisterly "That's the whole idea, my friend!

This continued for several minutes as Blackjack had to consider what he wanted more, the money that he would get if he sold the stone or the endless tickling that he would have to endure if he didn't tell them. He knew they wouldn't actually free him if he kept the location of the stone a secret anyway. So, after several minutes of putting up with a torture that he could no longer tolerate, he gave in. Rocket and Lylla got the infinity stone and kept it from falling into the wrong hands while after Blackjack had the biggest laugh of his life! 8D

Wolverine VS The Red Hulk

Both Wolverine and the Red Hulk heard that there was nuclear missiles were planted in the woods of British Columbia, Canada and aimed at various cities in the USA! When they happen to come across each other looking for the warheads, they falsely blame each other for safe guarding the missiles and they begin to fight! The whole thing was a staged setup to get them to fight by an internet troll who sent this message to both the X-Men and Thunderbolts. There's hidden cameras out there to capture the fight and show it on Youtube!

I made this drawing for a friend who requested that I draw his favorite hero, Wolverine, fight some Marvel character so I chose the Red Hulk!

Maleficent with Rocket Raccoon and Groot

Maleficent, along with her raven Diablo,  needed more capable minions to help her with her deeds as she goes out to seek Princess Aurora! Rocket Raccoon and Groot found the perfect extra rolls more suitable for them with Walt Disney studios! Just to let you know, Rocket and Groot will not really appear in Maleficent, but there does seem to be some moving trees in the film, I saw the trailer and maybe they're relatives of Groot? Anyway, I like Maleficent as a villain so I wanted to draw her and also kind of make a sequel drawing to the one where Rocket didn't feel he fit in with Snow White!

Maleficent is set to appear in her own film titled "Maleficent" directed by Robert Stromberg on May 30, 2014 and Rocket Raccoon and Groot will appear in "Guardians of the Galaxy" directed by James Gunn on August 1, 2014!

It's in the Disney Contract Rocket Raccoon!

Now that Marvel Comics, and a great deal of their movie rights, are owned by the Walt Disney Company, The Guardians of the Galaxy film is being made there! Well, Rocket Raccoon needed a few more bucks to buy his newest Hyper Drive Laser Blast Gun so he agreed to make an appearance in Snow White 1 1/2, but he had to sign a special separate contract to appear in that film, he probably didn't pay attention to all the terms before signing and he just needs a little encouragement to get into the act by that cute little squirrel to the right! 8D

This artwork was mostly inspired by Walt Disney's Snow White and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which is being directed by James Gunn! Also, I've created non anthro versions of my characters Rusty, Walter, Lester, and Razortooth! 8D

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!

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

Rocket Raccoon Needs a Cure!

This was done as a protest on how Brian Michael Bendis has been portraying Rocket Raccoon in the first 3 issues of the newly revived Guardians of the Galaxy comic books by Marvel Comics. Me and many fans didn't understand what was going through Rocket's head lately. Instead of being the nice guy heroic gun slinging raccoon that we all knew from both his creator Bill Mantlo and later from the Guardian's last comic from DnA, Rocket came out as a crazed psychopath. There may be hope that Rocket is already getting better after reading issue #4 of The Guardians of the Galaxy so I'm sticking with the comic for now.

This is a story to go with this drawing:
After it has been found out that Rocket Raccoon has totally lost his mind his friend, and former enemy, Blackjack O'Hare brought Rocket back to his home world, Halfworld, which is used to treat the mentally ill, and cure Rocket of Bendisitis! Both Blackjack, Lylla, and the rest of his friends want to bring Rocket back from his state of insanity. But I do have faith that he will recover!

Rocky Raccoon: Danny Boy, This is a Showdown!

This drawing was inspired by the fact that I love Rocket Raccoon! Rocket Raccoon was created by Bill Mantlo and Keith Griffen in 1976 for Marvel Comics and his inspiration came from the Beetles song "Rocky Raccoon" way back in 1968. I decided to commemorate both of these facts by having the characters from the song played by characters created by Bill Mantlo! The rabbit is Dan played by Blackjack O' Hare, the lovely otter is Megil played by Lylla, and Rocky Raccoon is played by, of course, Rocket Raccoon! You can hear the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNRH7_Kd5Yc

Superhero Frustration and Denial

With Thanos getting out of control, both the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers put their best strategist together so they can form a plan to bring him down. Unfortunately, Captain America has difficulty accepting that Rocket Raccoon is real! 8P

Of course Rocket is frustrated, after all it was he that said "Never doubt a raccoon!"
