Gaul or Viking, this is too cool, Mike. I love your take on Obelix, with the stitches on the pants for the stripes.
Thanks, pal. I tried really hard to keep their outfits fairly authentic to the original. Glad you noticed :)

Mario - Thanks. Unfortunately the blog is closed to new members, and invite only I believe. Hell, I was lucky to be invited in myself ;)
Sorry :(
Tony - Thanks, bro! :)
that is so badass, mike.
beautifully draw and the poses carry so much motion and power. they are totally going to fuck up some romans.
You know, before I settled for a less "time consuming" Asterix twart, I was planning something in high sea with a ship, and I have done a few researches about them and I think they did look a bot like viking ships, so you are totally correct here :)
What a powerful "we are so gonna kick your asses" depiction of the duo, Mike, just magnificent :)
Cheers,
Francesco

A nifty piece of work with Asterix sporting the most styling 'stache since Sam Elliott.
They are so badass, Mike. I love all the little design details not only in Asterix and Obelix' individual outfits but in how you designed the rubble and the clouds in the bg. Fantastic job, man.
Thanks a bunch, fellas! :)

Always dig your "comixization" of different characters, Mike!
M!TCH
Show off.
Thanks, Mitch. That's what's so fun about twart for me. Drawing these characters I'd never normally draw, and finding a way to make it my own.
Dan.... I can't HELP it! ;-)
