So Long MMM 2023!

 Thanks to everyone for another fun March MODOK Madness!  Big ups to my blog partner, Pedro, for the amazing work you've done this year!  And here's to all the people who submitted their astonishing MODOK pieces!  Keep them coming next year.  A big thank you to Brian Cronin for hosting a MMM week at CBR's The Line It Is Drawn!  Awesome work as always.

Friday NIght MMM2023_005

Here I am, racing across the finish line for 2023!

It's been a busy month here between freelance, MODOK artwork, and the daily grind. Didn't get to everything I wanted to do this year, so I'll just have to keep a few partially finished ideas in the chamber for the future. As always I have to thank my steadfast blogging cohort Brendan for sharing this monthly adventure with me and extending this tradition another year. He cranked out a mind-bending amount of work (63 images I think) and on top of that, he posted all of the submitted work this year. He's a constant source of inspiration and I am ever grateful for his collaboration and good humor. Which brings me to the new and ongoing fans of the blog that join us for this yearly pilgrimage - you make the blog fun and we thank you for it.

Keep MODOK on your mind,
P

Submitted MODOK: John Douglas!

John's done some amazing work this March.  We're quite impressed.  Here's MODOKs 9 and 10!  Here's a hilarious spoof of a Charles Atlas advertisement and a set of nesting dolls (with the King himself!)

Thanks for everything this year, John!  See Mr. Douglas' work at https://johndouglasart.blogspot.com/.

Submitted MODOK: RD

RD submits some amazing pieces as we bring this year to a close. He writes:

So the basic idea is that Eddie, Iron Maiden's mascot was originally called Ed the Head, but whenever big heads are considered, MODOK is obviously superior, and Eddie already has a tendency to change his looks from cover to cover. So this crossover was inevitable, probably. 

Thanks, RD!

The Eye of the MODOK...

..the thrill of the fight.

After a long 30 days stranded in the Savage Lands, MODOK hasn't quite kept up with his high standards of social grooming, (or hover chair maintenance for that matter) just look at those eyebrows. But, he's kept it natural all month long. Just one more day to go!

March is for mindblasts,

MMM2023_TessellationTUESDAY!_004

Whelp,

This wound up being my favorite tessellation this year, which makes the next sentence particularly heartbreaking. It didn't work in the end. Somewhere in my last day or so of working out the pattern I shifted something and lost some visual data that means that it's not a functional repeating pattern :(. I can definitely admit that I've learned some new stuff about pattern making this month, but there is more to practice out there. In the meantime I'll go back to the drawing board here.

Keep on Mindblasting,
P
