Description
This pic started out as a sketch I was going to dump into Scraps, then I splashed him with an airbrush, and decided he could see the light of day for a while. Anyway, this is a Vorticon from the original Commander Keen games. I played them when they were new, which should tell you how old I am. XD Just looking up the sprites for reference still make the palms of my hands sweat, because when these little sucker see your character, they RUN at you and you die seconds later. I wondered what a vorticon would look like in a modern game, so here's one for you. He's in the garb of Vorticon IV, making the Vorticon V and carrying one of Keen's pistols. I ought to try to draw Keen sometime, too. Ahhh ... had I known what fanfiction was back then, I would have written it.
