Hilgart really transformed the Hokie bird
#bodybyHilgart
The glorious near-future when FedEx Field is transformed into burnt rubble
perfect wv trailer park. And no.. she is hot.
I mean that looks like a rooster rather than a hen, but the gif is a little small.
YYYEEEESSS! I've been waiting for the day we finally get put on one of these!!!!!!!!
Getting this shit blown up and framed, asap.
The one I did for my wife last year came out great (playoff cover with her Huskies, Clemson, Bama, and OSU)
The mountaineer has poor leverage, should be over quick.
CFB agrees
I thought it was based on a Wyatt Teller screencap.
So the Hokie Bird is gonna get flagged for 15 yards?
For anyone interest, this link has the rest of the marvel covers. There's a cover for 5 other opening weekend games.
The FSU one is.... interesting.
It's a shame that they use the sparkle bros
What's the red guy doing to the elephant? I think PETA needs to get involved.
How in the world is Chief whatshisname not on the cover?? I mean they have him on the helmet and he rides to the middle of the field and throws the spear down. That should have been awesome comic book art right there. Big miss on that one.
Without getting too far into the politics of the matter, Marvel isn't the kind of company that would be into creating depictions of certain mascots.
I kinda feel like Indiana would win...I mean he's a "human" wearing a football uniform vs a nut with arms and legs.
The gator/wolverine is a good battle...of course the wolverine could get away by running zig-zag.
Elephants don't have human feet. Wtf is the red alien from Day The Earth Stood Stool doing to the elephant? Feel like PETA is going to step in.
BYU/LSU just needs a ball of yarn.
Hokiebird has leverage and muscles. Game over.
My dog eats wasps.
The BYU/LSU one looks more like a Batman and Robin cover - two superheros on the same team running to the action.
Should've saved that one for Big XII game. All offense no defense.
According to Reddit its based on an Iron Man-Captain America cover
That mountaineer looks pretty twiggy, doesn't stand a chance without his musket.
He can have his musket...
AND MY AXE
Pretty cool but it seems that Hokie bird skipped leg day
Oh hell yes. If it stays grappling, the Bird is gonna squash him.
Well, on the original cover that inspired the Hokie/WVU matchup, the hokie bird is in the position of The Hulk. I'll take it
Every day is upper body day
Disney Synergy!!!
So where can these be acquired? Anywhere to order them online?
My wife is fucking awesome.
Can u find out where she was able to purchase? I am hitting various dead ends trying to find a copy. Even someone at ESPN Mag told me they haven't gone to print yet!
If she did what I did, she just had it blown up to poster size and printed/framed at like a Walgreens or whatever. You can do it all online, then you go pick it up!
I did it for the playoff cover for the Huskies last Christmas. I can post a pic of that too if you guys would like.
Where did she buy this?!
If she made it, where did she get the high res image?
Just to be clear, those turkey legs go to your wife.
Really sweet congrats man.
This guy must have gotten the Hokie Bird job....
I've had my heart broken too many times in opening games. If VT wins = poster sized framed version on wall.
If they lose, no framed poster to remind me.
I think we got this: where is the link to the hi-resolution image?
I'll ask her what picture she used, but I think she used whatever she found online..probably in the tweet it was announced in.
