Description Hello DA Fam!!! DOUBLE CLICK TO TRULY ENJOY THIS ONE!!!!

Thought I would share this one with you all! I am normally not a strong Super Hero producer, but this one was another special commission that came from the 2009 Palladiumbooks Open House request. I was requested to do it in a more surreal style like Alex Ross versus an inked Comic style, so I took my crack at it the best way I knew how. Hope I hit the mark as it was fun to do.

I can’t reveal much on this Special Global Super-Hero team at this moment as there are other related works underway with this team, please see for more details on his creation.

What I can reveal is this team is composed of just about every super Hero aspect seen in golden age and modern age Teams:

Going Clockwise:

Ø The Chinese Gentlemen with the dragon crest and scaled armor is the team’s leader and is the Supersoldier equivalent of a Captain America/Batman, though this character’s martial arts is even more enhanced and wields a mighty Jehn Chang polearm. Unlike Capt. America & Batman however, this militant super hero has been known to kill villains to save civilian lives.
Ø The Metallic Canadian lady is a woman that uses a dark mystical rune sword, she manipulates magnetism and summons an organic living metal copper skin similar to X-men’s Colossus. Got to love it!
Ø The sexy UK Rockstar Vixen with the Gibson Flying V guitar is truly a blast! capable of flight, super strength, near invulnerable & of course sonic abilities is a gem not to be me messed with. Not to mention something special about her & the guitar, hmmmm… All that wrapped up in a sexy Rockstar, come on now… Got to luv her!
Ø No… the guy in the sleek black armor is not Snake Eyes! This US agent is a genius inventor who wields high caliber arsenal and a huge array of it. From Disruptors, freeze Rifle, Twin nickel plated 9mm glocks, a pair of auto assault shotguns, a bandoleer of various high-tech grenades, and who knows what else as he is always coming up with something new to add to his arsenal. Even the mechanical arms mounted on the backpack assist this specialized armor sentry. So we have the team’s Ironman aspect as well.
Ø Now if there was anything to cover the modern anti-Hero characters the being perched atop the rubble is one of the guys to do it. He has that dark mystical nature often seen in the Darkness & Witchblade, but also has that viciousness of Wolverine from the Xmen vibe going on. One thing that does catch me is the similarity in vibes between him & Nightcrawler or Hellboy. They are characters that look evil, but they are actually fighting evil, then again this guy is a very dark & mysterious individual with tons of voracious mouths, alien tentacle cape, numerous predatory eyes, Freddy Krueger like dream/nightmare abilities and he loves to drool. So who knows who can really… vouch for him.

Well, that’s all I can pretty much say about this team for the moment I will update the info on this link, once everything else is set up by the owner who commissioned it.

This is a large illustration versus my normal page size: The original pencils were done on a Bienfang 19” X 24“ (483mm X 6120mm) 148lb heavy weight Smooth Surface texture Acid Free Sheet. (BTW, acid free reduces yellowing & aging (hint, hint to fellow Artists who are doing art that will be framed and weren’t aware). Yes its also recycled. I used my favorite Zebra .5 mm pencil & a Pentel Clic Eraser ZE22. Time wise: Off & on, so it’s hard to tell, but I would guess... naw I rather not, smile.

Cheers & feel free to comment!

well its back to the completion of the workloads

As usual, it couldn't come any fresher if it was in a zip-lock bag.

When you started talking about old teams I almost expected to see Alpha Dawn....

Good! You NEED to do something with the DREAD! Seriously man...you had some incredible alien species that have stuck with me all these years.

ChuckWalton In reply to ILJackson [2009-09-05 16:14:11 +0000 UTC]

Thanx! Yeah the Dreads will be making appearances in several projects.

As to some of the other alien species, I can only imagine what must still be in ur mind from the Game XD

Surely Ur players are enduring serious traumatic fear & stress laced with awe.
