I'd really love to see you write the real series someday. Oh, Mr. Wacker...
I would if you could draw it Gary!

Mano got a lot more love than I expected - and in so many different formats too. Do we have any more Mano masterpieces to add?

Thanks everyone! I don't think mine compares to some of the others posted but I appreciate the kind words.
So....who's next? Have we got a decision yet? I need all the time possible in order to get something adequate done!

I had wanted to wait til the entries were all in before commenting, but I think we did a great job on the innaugural Gallery opening! Kudos to M-E Lad for creating it! I never woulda thought it'd be for Mano of all people, but it was great to see the various interpretations of him especially since he doesn't usually get so much concentrated effort. Specifically: Gary -- great drawing! I'm surprised we haven't seen more from you before (though I hope we'll see more art in the future!) I like the off-set, bisected rectangle design in the background where the "break" intersects the disk on the Mano hand symbol -- nice touch. Cru -- like the new color scheme for Mano and the malevolent lettering for his name -- very evil! minesurfer -- painting is indeed art! It's like being a colorist for a book except it's a 3D figure -- well done! the globe helmet actually looks cool in "real life". Numf El -- certainly the most original piece and one of the most compelling as well! Very Bill Seinkevicz meets Lite-Brite! (that's a good thing) M-E Lad -- awesome! I can't believe you managed to almost duplicate that Legionnaires cover! great background and the "Mano" lettering is way cool bro! (neat haiku as well) Cobalt Kid -- nice ode to Mano. Good point too about his longevity. (as well as a hastily dashed off limerick!) Fat Cramer -- lol ... great limerick! Milano, soprano ... very creative. Vee -- I really like the effect you used on the photo -- very cool how it almost looks like it could be a drawing! Harbinger -- beautiful! Totally gives Mano a new dimension and complexity I don't think has been touched upon before -- bravo!
I think that's everyone -- I look forward to seeing what you talented people have in store for us May 1st for the opening of the TIMBERWOLF wing!

Nice work, all! I'm sorry I couldn't contribute anything... But at least you more than made up for my lack of work, anyway. I'll see if I can whip something up for June...
Take one Corsair from the 5" X-Men line of the 1990's... boil and pop his head. You could substitute a Super Skrull sans head from the same line too.
Add the head of one X-Man (Nate Grey? from the Marvel's Most Wanted line of the same era)... if you're like me you have a few of these just laying around. I knew I was making Mano so I prepared the head well in advance. But really... just about any non-distinct head will do.
The Orb for his head came from the accessory that accompanied the old Dr. Strange 5" figure from the Animated Spidey Line of the 1990s. The knee pads are from the fore-mentioned X-Man figure... the sword is from the armory... holster is from an Flip n Trap Red Skull... and the belt is elastic from any craft store, colored with felt markers for effect.
Put the ingredients into a blender and let it sit for five minutes. Don't turn the blender on... just let them sit. Now that that is done, add the right paint in the right spots... and Mano.
