Pug Nefarious

Pug Nefarious:

We’ve always been big fans of “Gladstone’s School for World Conquerers” by Armand Villavert and Mark Andrew Smith.

 “Kid Nefarious” One Shot is in its final hours on kickstarter now. 

Please consider funding, we did, and are fervently hoping that it reaches its goal and gets published!

Nefarious on Kickstarter 

You can also see the rest of our canine cosplay series from 2012-13:

Including the Skull Brothers as dogs, (also from Gladstone’s) Raven the Weimaraner, Starfire the Dachshund, Nightwing the Hound, Kid Flash the Italian Greyhound, and a disturbing number of many more. One can assess whether my Nefarious or Pug napkin drawing skills have improved over the last six years.

Or there’s always the Animal Cosplay series, if you are really looking to waste some time (Nintendo cosplay for cats!)

Skull Brother Piggybacks on SAO's Death Gun

Skull Brother 2 From "Gladstone's School for World Conquerers"

Ansel insists that we reread this book by Mark Andrew Smith, art by Armand Villavert, at least once every couple of months.

"Gladstone's"  is a story about the kids of super-villains, including Ansel's favorites, the infamous Skull Brothers. Not only do the masked brothers look cool and carry an erxtensive armory of weapons, they are appealing to Ansel because their mother is locked in the super villain prison and they are free of adult authority. And even in the context of the bad guy community, the Skull Bros  are definitely up to no good.

My more realistic version of Skull Brother number two definitely diminished his coolness.
You can see the cooler originals on the Gladstone's Facebook page.

Skull Brothers Dogs

Another canine version of characters from "Gladstone's School for World Conquerors":
I'm not sure what breed of dog they might be, it was another late night.

Kid Nefarious from Gladstone's School for World Conquerers as a Terrier

Today Kid Nefarious joins the canine superhero series.  Archer pointed out that his scarf should have "D" and "N" for "Dog Nefarious."  That sort of sophistication was clearly beyond me late last night.

Ansel has instructed me to give all of his friends copies of Gladstone's for their birthdays to get them up to speed.
And of course, we have contributed to the Kickstarter campaign for future issues.

Kid Nefarious and Skull Brother from "Gladstone's School For World Conquerers"

Our sons are still rereading Mark Andrew Smith's graphic novel.  They are collecting as many details as possible so they can take on the personas of their favorite characters.  The 10 year old prefers Kid Nefarious, and the 6 year old want to be the taller of the two Skull Brothers.  

As usual, Ansel was not satisfied with my arrangement of the two characters, (and there are no weapons!!) but did not have any suggestions as to how I could have improved the situation.  

Skull Brothers From Gladstone's School

The boys were very impressed with "Gladstone's School for World Conquerers" written by Mark Andrew Smith, art by Arman Villavert.  Ansel was perhaps a little unclear on who exactly was a good guy in the context of the story, but he was sure that the Skull Brothers were cool.

Ansel wanted to know why they are "standing on nothing?"  And why the one brother's hand is so close to the other's tooth?  As usual my drafting skills are not equal to my son's facility for criticism.

The strawberries are there to ineffectively pacify the weapons.
