Joe-A-Day: Major Bludd..

This is the first drawing I think I've ever done of a "classic" Major Bludd. I know this isn't his first uniform, and I'm forgetting now which version this was in the toys. If anyone knows, shoot me a message and I'll edit this.

Originally this was done as a design for the GI JOE Battleground game. I ended up editing it, inking it and it was purchased as a commission later. I'd still like to do a definitively classic Bludd, with his 80's Marvel comics uniform and from the original toys. But until then this will have to do. I did get to redesign Bludd for his character in the GI Joe comics in IDW's vol. 1 of the series. There was a great one shot written by Max Brooks about him, worth checking out.

I also just realized there is a great blog called "Joe-A-Day" that spotlights GI Joe toys each day. It's a great site, very well designed and has a lot of features. In the back of my mind I know I must have heard the name, but sincerely wasn't thinking of the blog when I titled my sketch even "Joe-A-Day". So I'm sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes, I think it's a great name for the blog. If I can appropriate it for my event for just a month, I promise I won't besmirch the name. Heck, I'll even give you guys a well deserved shout out. I hope everyone will head over and check out their site!
