    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.  🙂

  • How to make a Tweet This Blog link using an Image

    So some of you have been wondering how I was able to make an image link on my blog that allows my readers to click on it and it automatically creates a completed Tweet in Twitter account.

    For example if you click this image:

    Tweet This Blog Post!

    It should open up Twitter in a new window with a Tweet about the post already completed. It looks something like this:

    Bearman Example Post on Twitter

    Now I looked around on the web for something that would do this more automatically but either, you had to to download something, they were too confusing, or they just didn’t work when your blog is hosted on WordPress.com like mine is.

    [sourcecode language=’html’]


    Tweet This Blog Post!

    [/sourcecode]

    So once you have copied the above in the bottom of your post there are three things to change:

    1. Change @BearmanCartoons to @whatever your twitter name is
    2. Change “Creating a Tweet This Blog Link” to the title of your blog post
    3. Change the URL link to your specific post from mine of “http://bearmancartoons.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/tweet-this-image/” If you are using wordpress.com there is a permalink url right below the blog title entry box.

    Don’t change the last URL which links to the image (I have changed the wrong one before) unless you are using your own image. And depending on the length of your URL, you may need to use a site like http://www.tinyurl.com to make it a workable link with fewer characters.

    Let me know if something isn’t clear in the instructions or if you have trouble with any of the links.  Would love to know if you find it useful too.
