The Winner Of The SUCKER PUNCH Mash-Up Contest!
Nordling here.
Yeah, I know, I'm behind. I've had various personal, professional, and medical issues keep this from being posted, but I've gotten it all squared away and I'm going to post the winner of the SUCKER PUNCH Mash-Up Contest from a few weeks back.
Keep in mind, this was my decision, and mine alone. I'm going to post several pictures I received, and they were all interesting, and some were just amazing. I didn't get as many entries on this as I would have liked, but that's okay. I want to showcase some geek art, and I hope you have as much fun looking over these people's work as I did.
First up is Neil Cook, who wasn't eligible to win because he's a good friend of mine, but I enjoyed his picture so much I wanted to share it with you all. His mashup is Lovecraft meets Victorian England meets steampunk mech, and I thought it was pretty awesome, myself. Reminded me of Mike Mignola:
Dig the R'lyeh's Bar.
This next one I enjoyed - the Little Tramp by way of Stanley Kubrick, by Jeff Keglovitz:
I'd pay good money to see this TV Show, courtesy of Cody Schibi:
This next one by Antony Quong's kinda amazing. I really like the evil looking mouse on the top - I have no idea what this movie would be about, but I'd see it, no question:
This next one features a new character in the serial killer catalog, one I'm not entirely sure Disney would approve of (or Casper fans either), courtesy of Bruce Parker:
These final three were the ones I looked at the longest. These are my personal favorites of the whole contest, so I'll post the first two, and then the final one as the winner.
Trevor Quong's NIGHT OF THE LIVING ELVES: THE MUSICAL. I can't imagine what songs would be in this, but I'd hope the snowman gets a good one:
These next two I really struggled with about which one should win. They're both really funny and focused. But I gotta go with my gut on it, and so, second place is:
John Lennon IS Gollum. Frodo IS Yoko. Thanks to Mike Groves. His tag line for the email was "They're taking the Beatles to Isengard!" and I could totally hear it in Ringo's voice for some reason. Really loved this and this belongs on a T-shirt:
This next one also mashes up a musical group with a huge franchise. Now, I'm not saying that Flight of the Conchords are better than the Beatles. But I really loved this picture by Brian Gilles and I think it just edges out the Beatles/LOTR mashup, but barely. Both are wonderful works, however. So congratulations to Brian Gilles; he wins the ART OF SUCKER PUNCH Book!
Thank you to everyone for participating. This was a lot of fun, and I'll be throwing another contest in the near future. I'll just say this - you need to fill your hands, you sons-of-a-bitch!
Nordling, out.

.....interesting..

Great work guys

Although I can't place what film that line is from. That's gonna haunt me tonight.
-
have a contest like this again!
-
These are all awesome entries. I really wanted to enter, but I can't make anything on my computer as cool as these ones.
I can't wait for the Director's Cut for Sucker Punch on DVD. Definitely one of the best films I've seen in a while, and in my opinion SEVERELY misunderstood. -

Yeah, I'm really not seeing any resemblance to Yoko in that drawing.

Phucko: unless you're secretly James Cameron or JJ Abrams, shut the fuck up!
by marcel_the_negro_projectionist
M. Night has a go picture he's co-writing and directing with the biggest star in the world attached. What was the last movie you made? If it was Avatar, then I apologize. Otherwise, fuck off with your self-righteous sanctimony, faggot!!

Hats off to all you guys
There's far more talent on display here than the entire Sucker Punch script. -
that's a lot of talent right there. fucking awesome, guys. seriously, if you guys aren't getting paid for you're art regularly, then all home for humanity is lost.
btw, thank you antony quang for not using digital artwork. -
cool edit function.

Considering the Beatles wanted to make a LOTR adaptation themselves.

Hell, that Beatles/LOTR mashup wasn't even made for this contest
by d.vader
I knew I'd seen it before somewhere. The Beatles print was made for another contest last year celebrating the lost project that was the Beatles adaptation of LOTR to be hopefully directed by Stanley Kubrick. Yes, you read that correctly.
You can find other entries (which I find superior to the one above), including the Lennon/Gollum print entered into this contest, at the following link:

Good artwork, but I feel that some of the runners up were not created for this contest
by that_said_the_choppah
But, the winner does seem like it was so I'm glad it won.
