This is the fourth part of filler art this week, spotlighting some of the opponents of the main heroes, the group we call the Doppelganger Gang. These are some character studies I did for the others. If you want to see the huge montage Red Death did of practically every character in CROSSOVERLORD and so far in CROSSOVERKILL, either use the "previous" button several times, or go to BAD GUY HIGH.
These are three studies, by myself, of Chant, Firearm and Vector. Chant's from the reality shown in the fantasy webcomic TALES OF THE TRAVELLING GNOME. Those three colored amulets he wears are important, and there is a story about them, and an origin for Chant, already drawn, which will be used in late spring or early summer. Like a monk of the Middle Ages, the top of his head is shaven. He's the Baron Mordo of the group, and his skeletal hand–NOT shared by the others–has to do with his sorcerous specialty.
Firearm is also Lt. Cecilia Frost, a police homicide detective who moonlights as an assassin. Unlike Suki and Night Carver, who are murderous sociopaths who get off on the act of killing or inflicting pain, Firearm is all business. She's the Deathstroke or Deadshot or Bullseye of the group, a professional assassin, sniper, and shootist, at home with almost any firearm. She may be native to the reality of Energize, Dasien, Heroes Unite, and Heroes Alliance—she certainly has a good cover identity there.
Vector is the more science-fictional, space-opera-ish of the group. You'll see something of his base of operations in the next chapter. He's able to deflect and channel bursts of energy thrown his way, a sort of cross between Unus the Untouchable and the Parasite in power and a bit of Darth Vadar in methodology. For the first time, you see him without his helmet. When you look at him…and perhaps look at Dr. Samson Frost, another member of the Gang, who appeared in a Mindmistress story…you might get a clue to the name of their group.
Tomorrow, we're hoping to show the cover of the next chapter.
