Ok here it is, the completed Vigilante.
(Not sure how historically accurate any of this is, just roll with it) Backstory: Post Victorian London is ridden with organized crime and street gangs and hooligans ruling the alleyways, and organized crime ruling the banks. The citizens of the East End know well to pay their tribute to Samuel Loftwood, head of the most extensive organized criminal network east of Westminster, and to avoid the corners patrolled by the Half Pint Boys. Henry Loftwood, son of the crime lord Samuel Loftwood, finds himself fed up with the despicable acts made by his father’s network. Determined to make the citizens of East London safe and free, he dawns a black mask and brown trench coat, wielding twin side handle batons. Hooligans and gangsters beware, the night belongs to The Vigilante!
Detective Update:
I think he looks much better with the goatee. I also lengthened his coat, and changed his shirt color. I added the batons. I think he’s British. I can picture him fighting drunk football hooligans in the East End of London.
Next Step: Shading and full backstory.
A very rough depiction of an idea I had for a vigilante character. I plan do do this again with much more detail. I picture him fighting with batons, don’t know why.
Well I guess I’m doing a series now. I have modern day Merlin, who also went into a deep sleep until he would be needed again. Yes, its very basic I know, I couldn’t really think of a way to distinguish him as Merlin other than “old guy in suit”, so any suggestions there would be appreciated. Any other critiques are welcome too.
I’m sure you’re all aware of the Legend of King Arthur. One of my favorite parts of the Legend is when King Arthur “dies” he is actually carried to the island of Avalon, where he supposedly awaits a time when Britain will need him once more. This is my interpretation of modern day King Arthur. Keeping with the Idea of him becoming king as a kid, I made his incarnation a teenager. He is once again wielding the magical sword, Excalibur. I spent a lot of time on this and really want to add a background that is on the same level, but I am stumped for ideas on that so if any of you have ideas for a background, or tips on how to improve this, I’m all ears.
These are some knights I made:
The Lion, definitely the leader of the group. He is the best fighter, as well as a brilliant tactician. Favored weapon is a standard arming sword.
The Disciple, the groups cleric and healer. He is serene and a master of many different mystic art forms. Favored weapon is a massive Warhammer.
The Leaf, the teams scout. He is a master of stealth and stalking. In addition he can track anything through anywhere. Favored weapon is a buckler and a basket hilted claymore.
The Hydra, the teams heavy hitter. He his the strongest and a master of all weaponry. His favorite however is a three balled flail.
The Scorpion, he is the second in command of the team. He is brilliant and bold but ruthless. His favored weapon is his massive two handed scimitar.
The Eagle is the youngest member of the team but he is one of the best fighters. He comes from a rich noble house and is the teams lead diplomat. However, he is quite deadly with a sword.
