Description
Ever read the "Hoka" series by Gordon R Dickson and Poul Anderson?
The Hokas were a race of very adaptable ursinoids who,
when presented with a book or movie,
could rapidly rebuild their entire society to recreate whatever milieau caught their attention.
The authors used these guys for a series of genre parodies, from Westerns to Sherlock Holmes.
I used them as an excuse to make my own parodies,
such as a set of "Star Bears" images.
In case you're wondering, the Hokas shared their world with a reptilian race
who'd been cast as "the Injuns" when the Hokas were in their Wild West mode.
Obviously some of them now are employed as Taun-Tauns....

This is excellent and brilliant style! No I haven't read that "Hoka" series but the way you incorporated that idea I can totally relate to and I'm on parallel lines with your humour! These mediums you used is impressive indeed! :D
