Description
A commissioned poster. Taste the rainbow of Evil!!
I never realized how colorful the villains of those 80s cartoons were. And I didn't realize that I had set up all the "blue" villains and all the "red" villains so closely grouped until after I started coloring. But it still looks good.This is one I had wanted to do anyway, but I didn't know how to stage them. Then one of my "regular customers" had the idea of commissioning it with Sauron's ring...which was genius! The original is 11x14 and this image is a bit "cropped" at the very top but (and I know I say this a lot, but this time it's true) I am extremely proud of the way this one turned out!!
Here's a list of the villains in here (starting somewhere on the left...you can see if you can match them up!)
Doctor Claw and Mad Cat from Inspector Gadget
Baron Von Greenback from Dangermouse
Hordak from She-Ra
Skeletor from He-Man
Miles Mayhem from M.A.S.K.
Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe
Saw Boss from Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
Mumm Ra from Thundercats
Tex Hex from Bravestarr
Cy-Kill from the GoBots
Lex Luthor from Superfriends: Legendary Superpowers Show
Genghis Rex from Dinosaucers
Ming the Merciless from Defenders of the Earth
Megatron from Transformers
Shredder from TMNT
Venger from Dungeons and Dragons
Mon*star from Silverhawks
Darkstorm from Visionaries
Prince Lotor from Voltron
Samhain from the Real Ghostbusters
The Queen of the Crown from Galaxy Rangers
Prime Evil from Ghostbusters (Filmation)
Zoltar from Battle of the Planets
Doctor Scarab from Bionic 6
Big Boss from C.O.P.S.
Doc Terror from the Centurions
Gargamel and Azrael from the Smurfs
Beef Bonk from Galaxy High
General Spidrax from Sectaurs
and, of course, the Dark Lord Sauron (or at least the Eye of Sauron)

Mon-starr from the Silverhawks. Thanks!

This pic is cool since it includes Dr. Scarab and Beef Bonk. But I would crap myself if I was surrounded by all these notorious 80's bad guys... at least Overlord from "Spiral Zone" wasn't included or I'd need a new pair of boxers.

Wow! I don't even remember that one!! But I just checked him out...cool looking villain.

Also did you know that originally, Tex Hex was going to be one of Prime Evil's henchghost in Filmation's Ghostbusters? That can explain his appearance and powers. However they decided to take the character and spin-off into a certain sci-fi/western series.
Not only should I be glad Overlord from Spiral Zone isn't in this but neither is Stampede, Tex Hex's master and pretty much the most evil being in Filmation history... unless Prime Evil, Skeletor, and Hordak stop being jokes and become serious threats.

I originally had Stampede sketched in the background! But there were already so many cool characters to fit in from other shows.

Unlike Cobra Commander and Cobra, Overlord and his Black Widows pretty much took over most of the world and are much more intelligent and powerful than the entire Cobra elite... HUB should be showing this since Tonka was bought by Hasbro.

Oh my God... Sauron has recruited an army of 80's cartoon villains! IT'S AWESOME! WE'RE TOTALLY DOOMED, BUT IT'S SO AWESOME!!!

You know, I have a feeling the One Ring will see that the so-called Cy-kill is actually an agent of good (as in the japanese Machine Robo), and will not accept him amoungst the circle of evil. Heck, the ring would adress Lotor as "Sincline", or Zoltar as "Burg Katse".
I would've included some more decint villians, like:
Overlord, from Spiral Zone
Metlar, from Inhumanoids
Necron, from Fire& Ice
Gemini, from Thundarr
General Warhawk, from the Rambo cartoon
T-ray, from Tigersharks
Bianca DuPree, from Beverly Hills Teens
Dr Strangesnork, from the Snorks
Dark Paw, from Paw Paws
Hazar, from the more decint Voltron
Darkseid, rather then Lex Luthor (Lex was nothing but a lacky compaired to that big grey monster)
Tetsuo, from Akira
And by the way, did anybody ever tell you that Greenback himself, has a pet?

I believe had a cat or something? The laws of nature do not apply to him I guess. We were going more with the 80s TV cartoons so alas Necron (in all his Frazetta goodness) and Tetsuo (in all his psychic nasty-organic-morphing goodness) wouldn't quite fit, but those are all great suggestions. Wish I would've had more room!

Wow this is epic, something you should be very proud of. Skeletor from He-Man my favorite.

Thanks! I'm a huge MOTU geek as well, but then I'm a product of the 80s...I grew up with all these guys!

That is a creepy bunch, even though the only ones I recognize are old Gargy and Azreal. But it is still good. (the art, not the characters)

I laughed at Dr. Claw lol. I wasn't too fond of how that series ended. Turns out he was little more than a disgruntled old guy with a gauntlet lol.
Looks like the cast is all here though. Must've taken some time.

It actually went quicker than I thought it would.

Good point, but now i gotta ask.
Who is the baddest of the bad?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For me? Megatron (he actually managed to kill in the cartoon movie) and Queen of the Crown (stealing Zachary Fox's wife's soul and then just taunting him with it...how cruel is that?)

Awesome Job... looks like it took a long time...! I love the 80's....!

Not as long as you'd think. A couple of days, start to finish? I didn't really time myself.

Heck yeah, you are! With that ring, who needs smurfs for gold?

I wonder if they'll explore that idea in the next film? written Fanfiction on Gargamel still being stuck in NYC but he had a whole phial of 'Smurf Essence' left but he's very frugal with it but keeps it close. But it's not good for his
'health'. The two stories are 'Obsessed with Smurfs' and 'Gargamel in Love'
