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
