Description In the end, I decided to keep Wellington Wales. Kinda suiting

More detail on the BG and added a little foreground too.

It all takes place in an alternate 1948 after their own great war came to an end. Curses and the loch-ness monsters are not myths or superstitions there. Sacred grounds really are sacred and magic really did used to exist.

Lord Wales is from a respected and highly regarded aristocratic family. While space is being considered the new goal for humanity with the advent of rocketships, he resumed his work as an explorer showing the world that exploration isnt just amongst the stars.

Experience, however, taught him to be prepared for anything. Be it a living sarcophagus or a possessed statue, his trusty Dustinator Mark IV never leave his side.

While not a unique weapon in any way (for that time) he uses compounds different than the specifics to give it that extra punch to dispell whatever animates the guards or the obstacles that stand in the way of science, wisdom and discovery.

kind of a futuristic india jones
really cool, does he has a laser whip?

Lionheartcartoon In reply to havik0666 [2011-01-26 01:29:35 +0000 UTC]

Nope, no laser whip. But considering the timeframe, he could be Indy's elder by 10 years or so. Still, he is an explorer.. one that has a goal and a motive that goes beyond putting stuff in a museum. Kinda Henry Sr with his quest for the Holy Grail except his isnt one that was in a book.

I still have a lot to flesh out on that part

most welcome And depending on the requests, I might make that a print. But it IS my intention to make a full-fledged poster/teaser poster for the adventure

Thats just awesome

The background is a bit wird for me, bacuse you didnt digital-painted it, but the picture still looks fine to me

So, congratulations

greatshoyru [2009-09-08 05:08:44 +0000 UTC]

Looking absolutely amazing here, and I only thought of indy due to the logo/people mentioning it here.
I love how you did his flashlight, it tricked me into thinking I was looking directly at the sun.

His left boot (Viewers right tra-lah) might need some work, as it doesn't quite look...Sharp. And the corner in the back of the background needs some work, as it just doesn't look like a corner unless you've seen the top of it fist.

Overall though, damn great work.

What the!?
Sort of reminds me of a blend between space marines and Cal Jerico of the WH40K universe and Indiana Jones.
Love the backstory though.

Wow.. you're the first to mention WH40k for that.. I guess it reminds everyone of something different.. 'cept indy.. everyone sees indy. And that's ok, cuz he's got a hat and he's an adventurer too

OjisanPhoto In reply to Lionheartcartoon [2009-09-08 01:38:35 +0000 UTC]

Well, can't blame them for the Indy part. Ofcourse it looks like a techno Indy, my impression came from my own indy hat just lying around on a hat rack I have...

If you have any knowlege of the older GW models and the WH40K universe, I feel the "gloved" hand, if you would call it that, is very similar to the gloved blaster/shooter/rocket/flamer glove of one of the old Spyrer models from the GW necromunda range.

No, I really liked this one, how tecky or how Indy it might be.
Excellent job my good man!

"Great Scott, what on Earth is that?!"

British + Explorer = brilliant. I love your weird shading technique in this - it gives the air of three dimensions, but with a helping of cartoonyism.

(If that didn't make sense to you, it's probably 'cause it's eight o'clock in the morn and I'm running on two hours of sleep. )
