Skratchaday 086: G.I. Joe’s Duke

On with the sketch!
Looks a little tighter a sketch than usual? That’s because this is a FREE SKETCH won by a blog commenter recently right here on the Skratchaday blog. They requested DUKE from G.I. Joe in his jetpack from the 1980s animated motion picture’s opening sequence… which is, by the way, one of my favorite animated scenes of anything ever. It still gets me excited. How cool was that opening 2 minutes? It was SPECTACULAR- and it really made me a lifelong Joe fan as a kid.
Enjoy! Click to embiggen.
