Drawer Geeks is an illustration challenge founded by Greg Hardin. Alternate Fridays, a group of 25+ professional animators, illustrators, cartoonists, and designers riff on a given fictional character. This past week's theme was Santa Claus. Among archived themes, I particularly liked: Medusa and The Grim Reaper. (via diminished Responsibility)

Great, now I'm going to spend the entire rest of my day clicking through these pictures. Luckily, I was never going to amount to much anyway. Wow, this stuff is creative. (Special props to them for including a Harry Potter section. My day is made!)

Nice one, mj³. BlueSky Studios has a similar thing going as well.

This is excellent, especially all the non-superheroic characters. All the ones for Captain America, frex, were depressingly similar. And don't get me started on Thor.

Fantastico! I only wish there were an easy mechanism to order prints of some of these...because I am in love with some of them.

Superb. I particularly enjoyed the Catwoman page - they seemed to have lots of fun with that one.

Pretty cool. Although with all the superheros in there, I'm surprised they didn't do Wolverine. ...for that matter, no Superman either. Supergirl, but not Superman. Huh.

Wait, Superman is there. Durr. Now I feel dumb.

I love this. Brilliant idea to just give something simple and collectively known to a range of talents and see what happens.

I'm delighted to see y'all are enjoying this site as much as I did. It's fun to see talented people strut their stuff. Zack_Replica, thanks for that bluesky challenge link - another great site. I love the animal hybrids. They should have a new page posted sometime today, cool.

This site is worth it if only for the Bizarro page.

Suck point: If one tries to open a page in a new tab in Firefox, it always opens the Smurfette page.
