Published piece from Green Ronin's Mutants & Masterminds RPG supplement, Worlds of Freedom. Since the book is FINALLY out, I can show these pieces.
Worlds of Freedom is a collection of alternate and historical settings for the M&M 'Freedom City' campaign world. It's like an 'Infinite Earths' or 'Multiverse' idea, but also has historical eras for their core setting. That's where Comf and I come in. We were given the entire 'Freedom by Gaslight' chapter to illustrate!
This is an illustration for a 'Character Archetype,' so it's just a general sort of character a player might use in a FbG campaign.
This guy was just a mean SOB. I had originally concepted him all in black, but that gets really hard to pick out once you go to an all-white background. The way M&M prints these is to put the illustration on the white page and have the words wrap around the figure. Well, all-black looked great with a 50% gray background, but white just washed out all the detail.
So I added some color and messed with his lighting a bit and here you go. Not too shabby, if I do say so.
