Game of Clones – Parody Mashup of Star Wars and Game of Thrones

Bearman Cartoons Parody Game of Thrones and Star Wars

 

Next week is the start of the 4th season of HBO’s Game of Thrones.  I am typically not a fan of this type of genre.  Thought the Hobbit was OK and didn’t like any of the Lord of the Rings.  Just not my style.  Yet something attracted me to Game of Thrones that made me a fan.  And of course I always loved Star Wars so “Game of Clones” was a perfect parody mash-up of Yoda sitting on a throne of Clonetroopers (as opposed to Stormtrooper) helmets and Light Sabers.  True fan boys will probably tell me I was off on one or the other but I claim artistic license.

From start to finish this took approximately 6-7 hours over two nights.  One of my most ambitious art projects to date.  An hour was just sketching different ideas of what Yoda would be sitting on.  Had I known what I was getting into when I started I wouldn’t have.  But lucky for you I finished.  🙂

    I have tried watching Game of Thrones and I can’t follow it at ALL. That being said, I didn’t start at the beginning of the series, so I’ll try to give it a fair chance sometime. I hear it’s awesome…

      I missed the first four comments. Oops. Thanks

    I’ve never watched Game of Thrones, but I like your poster and promise to watch your series. So when will it be on?

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Starts Sunday but it is on HBO. Don’t think that is available in Canada but not sure

    I’d not even heard of this show until this post. I’m not much for television and only watch a few things. Hubby loved Lord of the Rings. Not my cup of tea either. I went into another room and read. I did like all the Star Wars too. My son was growing up during these movies and I took him to every single one of them and waited in those very, very long lines.

    Have a fabulous day. 🙂

      Long lines. I thin I saw all of them on tv. Not sure if I ever went to the theater for any of them

    Ha! I love it! When you play the game of clones, you duplicate or you die…

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Over and over. Thanks

    Great drawing, Bearman. I love the lightsabers in the background!

    I don’t watch much TV so I haven’t seen Game of Thrones.

      Thanks. Took me a while to get the glow the way I wanted.

    Whoa. Amazing effects on the lasers, mirror image of Yoda and just funny as hell.
    Is it me or does it bring out the old Weird Al song ‘Yoda’?

    Been vacillating on purchasing Game of Thrones. Have heard SO many great things about the show. Don’t get HBO -am one of those cutting the bale types with a Roku- and Game of Thrones will NEVER be released on Netflix or any other pay per view. So sayeth HBO and the creators.
    $39.00 a season in HD.
    What do you think?

    Whimsical and mind-blowing artwork my friend

    xo

      I don’t think I heard that song. Going to have to look it up.

      Bet you can get it 2nd hand used on ebay. Seems after a while they will even drop in price retail.

        Shall put Game of Thrones on my mental wish list then. Saving my ducats for a necessary large expenditure first. Then… I shall catch up with the cool kids!

          Bearman,
          a wondrous coincidence happened today. The cable provider here at House of Mom is having something called a Watchathon for one week. An amazing selection of shows, from all networks including the premium channels. Each including every episode from all seasons which have aired so far. HBO’s Game of Thrones is on the list,
          My Goddess, have only just finished the third episode and am enthralled. Simply hooked like a fishie!
          Best brew another pot of coffee. I feel an all-nighter coming on 😉
          Thank you for the tip, and once again for the kick-ass Game of Clones

          1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

            Cool. Get moving. 3 seasons is a bunch in a week.

    Excellent Yoda likeness Bearman. I’ve never really been into Star Wars. Saw the 1st movie when it came out all those years ago but none of the others. I have no idea what game of thrones is all about either. I’m confused about clones. They all look the same to me

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Shouldn’t the clones look the same? haha

      Tony,
      -face palm- hehehehe

    Awesome picture of Yoda!
    Yoda is my favorite and I have been collecting Yoda merchandise since the first figure was launched.
    You have my approval Bearman! 😀

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Woo hoo…fanboy approved!!!!

      Do you have a Yoghurt merch too? #spaceballs

    Pretty sure you don’t want to mess with him.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      He knows how to use one of those things. Good to see you Lisa

    I’m really surprised but I am a huge fan of “Game of Thrones”. Love it! I also really love this piece. That is a lot of work but so worth the result.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Thanks Michelle. I am very happy with it too.

  13. Gruhn Avatar

    Love this show and can’t wait. Love the drawing too!

      Get ready for the next blood bath

  14. jynksie Avatar

    The effort you put into this shows! I think everyone here would agree… from now on, we’ll expect this level of perfection, every time! [oh-snap]

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Forget that. Low expectations and then over deliver on occasion to stir things up

  15. David Hurley Avatar

    Cool artwork, bearman. I’ve seen some of the episodes but haven’t been able to keep up with it. I like what I’ve seen though.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Thanks David. You can only commit to so many shows

  16. Nef Avatar

    This is super awesome. You should make a whole comic book out of it.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      He’ll no. I don’t have the patience

    Oh wow, I saw this on Tumblr but didn’t know it was you. This is my favorite this on the internet right now.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Woo hoo. Wait, you didn’t know it was me? My giant corner logo didn’t give it away?

      And whose posting my shit on tumbler and not giving me credit anyway? 🙂

  22. Scott Oglesby Avatar

    Oh I like this! I like this a lot! I think if you made this a t-shirt you’d sell then like Star Wars logo’d hotcakes!

    Game of Thrones is so good because it’s so well done. They spared no expense and the writing and acting are magnificent.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Thanks. I never feel comfortable selling someone else’s characters. I know many do but I can’t unless I got permission

  23. Mark Stokes Avatar

    One of your best yet, Bearman! Your detail and color, love I do,

  24. Jason Salas Avatar

    I haven’t seen “Game of Thrones” but I love the image. Well done!

    I just got finished a few minutes ago with season 3 episode 6 for the 2nd time. I am going through season 3 this week since it has been a year since I watched it, so that I will be ready for season 4. I can’t get myself to sit down and read a 1000 page book or however long they are.

    I like your Game of Clones better than the post I titled the same at 8-bit Nerds. Both are good but your’s is better.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Well feel free to post this one…but give me a link back 🙂

        Cool! Thanks 🙂

    I just finished the available books, so I am going to binge watch this show right after I finish my Son of Anarchy binge.

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Did they kill off all the other Sons? “Son of Anarchy” hahah

    Wow, this article is good, my younger sister is analyzing these things, so I am going to let know her.

    I would watch that so hard my TV would explode.

    I’m a big fan of A Game of Thrones being that it is full
    of medieval naughtiness, awesome gore and wicked acting
    but hey I like your Yoda series too, I mean who knew? lol

    1. Bearman Cartoons Avatar

      Love the series too
