General Lee

I found a site called 8-Bit Zombie and I was very interested in the way (on some of their designs) they were mixing different elements of 80's nostalgia in a pretty organic way, like Thrashor, a mix of Thrasher culture, He-Man, and 80's movie horror. Even subtle things like the picture of Beetlejuice with the head of the movie incarnation and the body of the cartoon series'. I was looking for inspiration for the sake of practice, so I made General Lee. I'm happy with him. I was thinking giving him a background and framing him like a trading card, for that is the context in which I envisioned this particular style, but then what is that, an 8-Bit Zombie rip off?

Anyway, here he is. Someday the mountain might get him, but the law never will.
