Artist's Comments

Round Three of :iconangelcrusher:'s latest art jam - a fight tournament between the original characters of all sorts of assorted deviants! Here, Vigil is disposing of :iconvancegeoffmen:'s Thugmar!

So, how do you beat a vicious, brutal killing machine? Drop him through a portal in time and space and feed him to an even more vicious, brutal, killing machine, that's how! This idea was suggested by a piece of Vigil fan art (alright it was an art trade!) by :iconstriffle: although this version is a little nastier! Have a look at Scott's picture here: [link]

Not an easy victory - Vigil looks a bit the worse for wear too - and this is for two reasons - firstly, I don't see anyone just walking away from a fight with Thugmar unscathed - just check out his previous fights in Geoff's gallery! Scary! The second reason is that I'm trying to keep Vigil in character during these fights and I think that she would have to be sure that she had no other way before doing this - she's tried all other options and taken some hits - but it's her life or his, so she's reluctantly finished him off.

Ouch!

Sodding background took seconds to draw and ages to colour - I really should try to make things a little easier on myself I think...

very impressed. Love the BG. Very nice work on the poses here. Lines and colors are excellent. Victory is thine

Let teachers, priests and philosophers brood over questions of reality and illusion. I know this: if life is an illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and I am conan

really great piece and great idea too. I think not many people can fight toe to toe with thugmar, so adding dinosaurs into the mix is a nice touch. i'm sure he would still go down fighting though. ^_^
Great drawing and colours.

That's great! Love the background. I worry about where in time, we might end up.

I should have entered. By My characters are not very physical.
And All...most the DA guys have these KIlling Machine types.

Thanks for the kind words :) I'm really pleased I've got Merick next - it's nice character design and your art is great. I'm looking forward to researching him (it?) and getting started on Fight 4 (Eep! Fight 4 already!)

I don't think you have to worry about the time travel as I'm not going to repeat this dirty trick - I guess I'll have to think up some all new dirty tricks!
:iconkostmeyer:
I hope so! After being clobbered by Thugmar I need the wins! Geoff is pretty good though - and he's come up with some fairly spectacular ways for Thugmar to finish off his opponents. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the kind words and the :+fav:!
:iconkostmeyer:
Yeah, I know what you mean! Actually, I was so worried that he'd still look like he was winning that in the first draft there were two T-Rex's gnawing on him and a third in the background! Trouble was that you couldn't really see Thugmar very well and he's too great visually to hide, so here we are. I figure if he manages to kill poor old T-Rex Vigil will close the portal and trap him in the Cretaceous Period - technically a win, but god knows what sort of damage he'll do while he's there!

Thanks for the :+fav:! I hope Vigil runs into the Buzzbee before the end of February!
