  1. Southern Pole of Inaccessibility, Antarctica.
    Environmental Concept Art by Amit Dutta for Comrade Hero.

    And in case you're wondering, there really is a statue of Lenin at the Southern Pole of Inaccessibility.

    I thought so to. I usually don't get many free pieces of art anymore, so it's always appreciated when I do.
  3. It doesn't happen very often these days. Moray Rhoda has created a tribute to Comrade Hero.

    The Ninja Flip is kind of similar, but alas the characters still look kinda dorky doing it.

    Hah, I reckon. Back in 2009 Sydney got hit by a massive sandstorm that blocked out most of the sunlight and cast an eerie orange-red glow over the city. Was one of the worst on record. So I wondered what would happen if that phenomenon was a near-permanent occurrence...

    Thanks. Most of the pieces are for use as supporting material/reference pieces for contestable arts funding applications that I'll be applying for later this year in New Zealand.
  10. Something a little different. The World of Comrade Hero...

    Sydney Habour by Amit Dutta. Enviromental Concept Art.

    A future Sydney savaged by choking sandstorms. The population forced to live behind tempered glass and reinforced steel.



  11. Egads! I thought the remnants of the Third Reich escaped in captured UFO's to a secret base in Antarctica?

    Oh wait, no.

    Apparently not...

    Those devious Soviets retreated to the Southern Pole of Inaccessibility in Antarctica!

    Where the real body of Lenin was buried beneath the ice, where he slumbers to this day...


  12. Updated...

    Pencils by Felipe Watanabe. Inks by Ambra Meneghen. To be colored eventually.


  13. And here's the colored version of Astra Kyne Murdock and Comrade Hero. Pencils by Ryan Stegman, inks by Michael Babinski and colors by Sean Ellery.

    Thanks you guys. Shane did a fantastic job with Operations. Not the easiest character to work with, but the result came out swell!

    This new Anderson... he's a serious dude... I did like the quirky sense of humor that I was reading in the old Anderson's face, though. And maybe that's just me, projecting into the characters.

    Be Well!

    Definitely not cousins.

    Anderson is one serious dude - strictly business, never personal.

    Feral Kat artz!

    That piece by Elizabeth Torque is gorgeous. Love the unmasked face.

    Although I'm guessing if we had a hard light construct type power set in the game it would have to be handled carefully, given that another certain MMORPG has a whole raft of characters that can do something similar.

    What of Relcuse?

    The Well of the Furies doesn't care about good or evil - just power. Darrin Wade proved he had the will, the determination, and the means to take power from Statesman for himself. Whether or not Wade can hang onto that power remains to be seen.

    Lord Recluse isn't likely to let Darrin Wade get away with the murder of his former friend and long-term enemy - Statesman.

    Not because there's any great love loss between the Lord Recluse and Statesman, but because Wade's victory over Statesman casts doubts on Recluse's strength as the leader of Arachnos. Someone like Wade took down Statesman, when Recluse has tried and failed on numerous occasions...

    Of course Lord Recluse could state he had planned this eventuality all along, for Statesman to meet an ignominious end at the hands of a non-Incarnate, but I always figured Recluse personally wanted to crush Statesman with his own hands.

    The other reason that Lord Recluse, and quite likely Emperor Cole, would want to go after Wade is that Wade has discovered the long-lost and secret ritual that Sister Arilia used against both Imperius and Romulus. Wade used this ritual against Statesman with a little power-stealing thrown in for good measure.

    Both Recluse and Emperor Cole would kill Wade to keep that secret knowledge from being exposed, and of course to ensure that only they would know the secret of disposing of Incarnates.
