The 4 Billion Dollar Deal

1 September 2009 3 Comments

Disney’s acquisition of Marvel Entertainment was all the buzz amongst my artist buddies and the media. This news interests me as well as I do work for Marvel Comics as a freelance artist.

Based on the closing price of Disney stock on Friday, August 28, the transaction value is $50 per Marvel share or approximately $4 billion. What does this mean? This means that Disney is now the parent company of Marvel. But just like when Disney acquired Pixar, Disney execs will let Marvel continue to handle their thang. They have great faith in them and sounds like a great relationship.

In light of this news, there’s already some changes happening in the Disneyland theme park.

Check out this Wolverine Mickey Mouse!!

And the full shot with who else, Hugh Jackman wolvie himself looking all decked out in Disney gears.

Ok I kid, I kid, obviously these are just photoshop fun.

Here is the original photo..

I grabbed some reference images like the mickey gloves, mickey cap, Disney name badge, and X-Men badge.

Put all these elements together by and draw in some “snikt” claws on Mickey, reshape his ears into the wolverine hair, give him some fangs and make the eyebrows scowl. Then with Hugh, dress him up with the mickey hat, disney badge and reshape that mickey gloves. And voila. A cool pic of the Disney/Marvel’s new relationship.
