As the world of collectibles continues to evolve, creative mash-ups between iconic comic book characters and popular Nintendo games offer exciting new avenues for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Welcome to The Line it is Drawn! Every week, we present a theme that inspires artistic interpretation from our contributors, submitted via the CSBG Twitter page. Followers are encouraged to engage by submitting ideas, with artists selecting suggestions to illustrate. This weekly interaction fosters a vibrant community sharing their creative visions.
To participate, simply ensure you are following @csbg on Twitter and submit your ideas by 11:59 PM Pacific on Wednesdays.
Also, connect with me on Bluesky at @briancronin.bsky.social, where I will also post prompts and updates.
The upcoming theme continues to draw interest…
In honor of the final season of The Boys, we invite you to suggest comic book characters that could seamlessly join the world of The Boys.
In tribute to CBR’s forthcoming Nintendo Week, we are excited to consider comic book characters who find themselves ensnared in the iconic Nintendo universe.
Enjoy the artistic renditions inspired by last week’s challenge!
The illustrations are presented in alphabetical order, based on the contributors’ suggestions.
