The Many Faces of Sylvester Stallone

A while back I illustrated Arnold Schwarzenegger as a number of his movie roles throughout the years. I enjoyed making that so much that I thought it was only fair that I give the same treatment to another 80's (and obviously 70s, 90s and 2000's) action icon... The one and only, Sylvester Stallone! That's right, Rambo himself!

As I explained in a more recent post, I used a similar template to that of Arnie and went at it. This one however was a little trickier, because Stallone got his start earlier in the 70's, his filmography was a lot larger than that of Arnold's, which means I had a lot more Sylvesters to work with within a limited space. So sadly, there were a few which got omitted due to cameo status and being relatively boring. I'll provide them at the end of the post.

So without further ado, The Many Faces of Sylvester Stallone! Click the image to enlarge it or click here, you're gonna want to.
And now for the honorable mentions:
And there you have it!

Dino-Riders

I can't imagine any child of the 80's who DIDN'T own some kind of Dinosaur toy... And if you were a boy, I can't imagine you never wanted that Dinosaur to be a living, breathing, walking death-machine with guns, lasers, missiles and mind-controlling aliens! Fortunately for us, someone in the toy business honed in on what kids really wanted and created the Dino-Riders. It was one of the many cartoons in the 80's who's sole purpose was to sell toys, and sell them it did. I personally don't care if it was technically the product of greedy businessmen, I would have gladly paid them a small fortune (which to a 5-year old boy is about 20 bucks) to continue providing me gun-mounted T-Rexes until the day I hit puberty! But then I got distracted by the Batman Movie and that was the end of my dinosaur fetish. Nonetheless, Dino-Riders was pretty fantastic, and to show my appreciation for that amazing toy-line, here's a little illustration I did. Out of love.
 Let's Ride! ... Dinosaurs, specifically.

Silverhawks

I was reminiscing about my childhood and thought about some of my favorite things... Being a child of the 80s and 90s, my memories tend to revolve around cartoons, and my favorite of these was THE SILVERHAWKS!! So here's a little tribute to one of the awesomest after-school cartoons to ever exist:

Wings of Silver, Nerves of Steel!
