Chades Challenge LXXX: Klingons!

In anticipation for Star Trek Into Darkness (which was UH-MAZING), a few of us at work did a character design challenge. The subject: KLINGONS! The three sketches below are my take on the galactic mongols.

"Who ate the last slice of cake??"

To the Bat'lethmobile!

Behold, TURDUCKEN! The terrific trifecta of tyranny-toppling troops.

Duck is the only hero of the group with the power of flight, but it's okay; with Chicken tucked in Duck's cavity, and Duck stuffed unsanctimoniously in Turkey's, they manage to fly around as one epic entree of justice!

Chades Challenge LXVIII: Captive Frontiersmen

A lot of people envy Captain Kirk, but I think that same charm that won over Shahna, the gladiatorial dominatrix from Triskelion, also attracted some much less savory attention. Way to boldly go where no man has gone before, Cap'n.

Chades Challenge LXVII: Spider-man's New Sidekick

I can't say I designed a character this week, more like I plussed my buddy Vi's design (see below). I liked his idea, and it immediately brought some ideas to mind. 

When researching Tarantulas, I came across this actual Spider-man villain, Tarantula. He has a mustache, but it's not nearly as mandibular as it should be!

If you have any designs of your own, let me know and I'll post them below. As always, all are welcome to contribute! Otherwise, you can join in August 24th for...

CHADES CHALLENGE LXVIII:

CAPTIVE FRONTIERSMEN

Vi-Dieu "The Highflyer" Nguyen's TARANTULA 

Everett "Big Diptera" Downing's FLYBOY

Austin "Jump Man" Reinkens' THE JUMPING SPIDER

I think it's safe to say that all of these designs are better and more appropriately-themed than Spider-man's official new sidekick, Alpha:

The kid's got electric powers, because y'know, spiders and electricity.
