Description Believe it or not, Sir Steve and Mortimer were once best friends. The two used to go on adventures and get into trouble long before they became a hero and villain respectively.

Steve was the son of a famed knight named Sir Gallant. Gallant was a great and noble hero, but not the most supportive or sensitive dad. Yet Steve aspired to emulate him and make him proud(and, yes, he is wearing a bucket on his head here). Mortimer was a local ruffian and son of a poor stable cleaner. He spent most of his time out looking for mischief.

The two were a team. That is, until one day when Vikings invaded Kingdomshire and the two kids happened to bump into them. Mortimer tried futily to fight back against them, which amused their chieftain. They took him home with them and taught him the ways of the badass. Steve took it hard and the two didn't see eachother for many years later.

I love the bucket on Sir Steve's head. That's hilarious. Great backstory. I always love backstories and finding out about the past of the characters. Very interesting and well thought out. Ever consider writing out a longer back story like what I did with Pierre and Andre? You really should.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

EarthVStheDerek In reply to ShaneJensenToons [2010-10-15 02:09:58 +0000 UTC]

Me, too. It gives you more of a feel to not only who they are, but why they're like that. The original idea spanned 2 or 3 drawings, but I decided one would suffice. Writing their histories might be a good idea. If I have the time.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ShaneJensenToons In reply to EarthVStheDerek [2010-10-15 02:30:03 +0000 UTC]

You should definitely do the other drawings for the sake of the back story.

Well, I do have an idea of Mortimer getting his first weapon, and other things. I might just do that.

Glad you think so. I wanted something more interesting than the "childhood rivals" I had planned originally. And, I was hoping someone would notice the helmet. Thanks.

Quite a contrast here between the happy, innocent scene and the tragic backstory, very well done, man. Very cool to these two as kids as well.

People can be such pricks. Or they assume there's something wrong with you without having ever talked to you. Or even knowing your name.

It's fun to delve into their past. I originally had them as childhood rival, but I thought this was better. Thanks.
