Emiliano Santalucia has updated his Santalux blog with a piece on his work for the San Diego Comic Con 2013 Bludgeon Tech Specs art. The Bludgeon in the set as you might already know was a repurposed GI Joe figure – however what might surprise you is that the directive Emiliano was given in creating the art was to make it look like the vintage Generation 1 artwork as much as possible – to the point that Hasbro requested it referenced the original toy and comics more than the actual GI Joe retool that the Tech Spec accompanied.

The figure was a GI Joe repaint? Of who?

Emiliano really knocked it out of the park with this one. I find it very interesting that Hasbro pressed him to deliberately have the image mirror the Generation one model…
And to GAUGE0001 : I find your sig to be a tremendous taunt… I love it!
