Rowr and Valkarye - Alternates Series (Art)


Dark Ether

 

Posted

Ponder if you will your life, your very existence – your routine from year to year, month to month, even day to day. Think of the simple tasks you partake while making out your place in the world. Now imagine you, the same shell that houses your essence, your soul, but within a different setting – a parallel version of the world where subtle changes have altered the course you have taken. Your manners, your beliefs, and your life, seen in another form.

These depictions are windows into parallel Earths, featuring the lives of two heroines – Rowr and Valkarye.

---------

Dimension #1

In the year 2138, the world has descended into lawlessness. Brigands roam the streets, and there is no peace. Small bands of marauders pillage and plunder what they can, by any means necessary. Two rogues, taking matters into their own hands, decide to bust in on a rival gang and take everything....

Run now or YOU will be next!!!!


---------

Dimension #2

In the present day city of Paragon, Loki has released a score of demons upon the inspecting populace for no reason other than appeasing his twisted pleasure. Picking an agent to track down and banish the demons Odin sent the were-tiger Valkarye, who’s tracking abilities would prove invaluable. Just days in the city Valkarye’ path crossed with a sure-shot but mysterious archer named Rowr – together the two scour Paragon for the demons.


---------

Dimension #3

Moscow - The thriving commercial center of Eastern Europe. Known as one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the world, it also boasts a large number of individuals endowed with special abilities and powers, on both sides of the law. Six months ago everything came to abrupt halt for the grand city as an alien invasion appeared overnight in the sky, a terrible and devastating battle ensued for 14 days. Upon the conclusion of the war half of Moscow laid in ruins, untold thousands have died, and the ranks of the cities protectors were decimated.

Today the only two remaining heroes of the once great metropolis lead a rag-tag band of Russian military on a quest to once and for all to vanquish the Rikti forces. The heroines Rowr - a humanoid tigress with ferocity in battle unmatched by any other - and Valkarye - discovered as a baby, raised by the military and taking the moniker based off a note found with her body – work tirelessly to see the day when the last alien has been destroyed.

Not another step back! For the Motherland!

I love the idea of Parallel versions of our characters and I like how fleshed out your ideas are. The last link was broken for me, though

The idea of parallel dimensions is why I don't mind when artist's take some freedom with my characters and reinterpret them. If the character doesn't look like the "iconic" version of them, then it's an alternate dimension/future/past version of them.

Fixed :P

I really like Dimension #2's art, thats a super piece. Dimension #3 is unbelievable it looks like the cover of a novel.

Alternate dimensions FTW, its how I explain the fact that there are both Hero and Villain versions of Kilo

Very cool idea...and some pretty neat interpretations!

Although I think #1 & #3 are visually awesome, I think version #2 is the neatest...I just like the whole "parallel switch" idea as being pretty neat.

Dimension #4 - By Rocinate

Welcome to a world of shadows, a world of espionage. A world where information, not currency, is the true power and the wrong word can topple nations. A world where nations entertain each other, weaving false truths to satisfy one another, but their agents sulk in the background attempting to gleam any information they can wield as blackmail. Follow two agents, while having no allegiance to any one flag, who work for a secret operation under N.A.T.O as they race to hinder the forces of evil.

The duo consists of Tessa Jonsdottir – codename Valkarye – who is the ‘eyes and ears’ of the team. A technical expert, trained for five years at Quantico, she oversees the daily planning of operations and maintains all communications in the field. While more at ease behind closed doors, monitoring and relaying information to her partner, Valkarye is a master with range weaponry, choosing the crossbow for being unerringly deadly and silent.

The second half of the team, the infiltration expert, is Rowr – true name classified. Once a target is identified, whether an object or person, Rowr's job is to obtain and/or remove. A master in the art of mimicry, along with the skills to infiltrate any formal setting Rowr attempts, she usually completes her task with little fuss as possible. A formable fighter, she calls on her martial arts skills along with her deadly claws when all possibilities of parley have failed.


Welcome to a world filled with hidden eyes, watching and gathering.
