Joe and Mo...Special Forces a'la Coco Loco

Is this beautiful, or what?

Dude is a pretty amazing individual, here he is in flight! I recently spoke to Bert about Dude's history. Here it is-

Dude is a bio-product of a future time, the 2400's. When a human's body fails through personal injury or illness, and when the brain remains intact, bio-engineers have the ability to encase the brain in a glass container filled with a preserving liquid. The brain maintains all of its previous senses and functions; however, the mechanical body is a very sophisticated machine which still operates mechanically in lieu of the human body. It mostly operates with normal motor functions, but lacks the ability to really touch and feel.

Dude was considered an excellent marksman in the military, before his terrible near-death. He had been quite proficient and skilled with a Colt pistol. He had almost been murdered near the end of The War of 2455, when an entire platoon of his men were caught by enemy troops in a Slavik country where they had been maintaining peace. He and his men were made to lay across a roadway face-down, then they were individually shot until each of them were killed. Nobody lived, except Dude. He lay face down for two days, until peaceful forces scared the enemy away and were able to get to him.

His brain and his other vital organs held onto life, just barely. He was rescued after he was found by American forces to a newer branch of the army medical services called the Special Brain Ops, or nicknamed the "Dead Man Walking Unit".

Dude is one of tens of thousand of these revived soldiers. The lives of these soldiers is much longer than that of normal human beings, for their bodies are no longer flesh, but metal. The only part of the individual which remains organic, is the brain. The body is trashed and the mechanical body becomes the house of the individual.

The glass dome which preserves his brain is super thick, but it can be harmed, and if penetrated, almost always proves to be deadly. Glass is generally used instead of metal, which can rust, or hard plastic, which becomes ruined by plastic toxins, or BPA's, over time.

With the cowboy hat, Bert has finally nailed it!

Sinister Dude...

Early Dude, an incredible illustration from the best...

Bert is working hard to make my vision of Dude precise. I am a punishing in my preciseness. I spent three years of my life bringing Dude to my audience, I want him to be EXACT. Here are some really nice illustrations that Bert did. He is very close to my vision. In fact, I love each of the drawings, but my character is so, so specific. Anyhow, it should be fun for anyone watching to see what he pulls out of his hat of tricks each time.

I submit to the viewer for his enjoyment...Dude... 1 + 2

A few illustrations of Joe...A-Rodish?

Tin Man...hmmm...

I'm sure he will be around some day. I'm anxiously awaiting the Tin man. Bert gave me one, but I think he may be way too cool for my small platoon. I've asked him to dumb the Tin man down a slight bit. Bert is awesome, he'll come up with something great! This much I know.

The Trank!

It's good to have the groundwork for our heroes somewhat laid. It serves us also well to have the Trank transporter set as a moving transport.

The 3 T's

The three process works of Beulah Big Red's Trank(Tank-Train-Truck). The last one being the final design ( I think) and the top is Big Red's Pin Up Girl. 3 is the magic number, eh?

Out fitting

Some cloths Cash might be wearing. Hope I got the build right. The BDUs are what you'd normally see solders walking around in around base. The annoying thing about BDUs is that they are designed to hide the build of the body so really all I got to draw was a bunch of folds in cloth still he looks much more professional in the BDUs. Just got to move on to Red now and get him in an out fit.

Wall Crawler 2

So here is the more fleshed out wall crawler. It has come back to a more proportional form and it is wearing a mirrored suit of armor. In this version the armor has become less of a specialized "pouch" and more of a shell that hides the creature's true nature. It is also not a robot anymore, a layer of black material lines the joints and keeps the various unsightly appendages unseen until it is too late. I tried to keep the creature from looking cartoony though I did need some pretty heavy lines to delineate the metal plates and make sure that all the forms are recognizable .
