A friend of mine, <a href="http://chill13.deviantart.com/">Crystal</a>, started a little Role Play with me and we ended up creating an entire little story around my image.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pre13.deviantart.net/e93b/th/pre/f/2016/230/e/9/e981832ee4598eb30d7265ddb46001ec-daedll9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://pre13.deviantart.net/e93b/th/pre/f/2016/230/e/9/e981832ee4598eb30d7265ddb46001ec-daedll9.jpg" height="498" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The original story goes like this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose a grave amongst my enemies to save you from their wrath. I now
lay in the depths with them far from the light of liberty. I will never
taste the fruit of freedom, but when you eat it think of me. Deep
beneath the water cold among my hated foes. <br /><br />Kervak held the
damaged detonator tightly. It wasn’t completely inoperative but it was
messed up enough to keep it from sending a long range signal. That meant
that whoever detonated it would have to remain. <br /><br />Looking at the
refugees as that passed, Kervak saw mothers with their children. A few
badly wounded Commonwealth troopers were being carried. If the Grakons
got a hold of them they wouldn’t stand a chance. <br /><br />Knowing what
had to be done Kervak worked her way to the rear of the group as the
hurried across the high bridge. Green lasers sparked at the heels of
screaming children. <br /><br />Kervak remembered how much her human faster
parents had given her and it was time to give back. This was the best
opportunity for her to repay them for their kindness to her. <br /><br />She found a small hiding place and crouched down holding the detonator in both hands. <br /><br />The
last of the people left the bridge and Grakons began passing Kervak
quickly, their tanks rattling the structure. With a sigh Kervak pressed
the button.<br /><br />The last thing she remembered was a bright flash and
what seemed to be a driving wind blowing her as the ground gateway
beneath the unsuspecting Grakons.<br /><br />The entire Grakon unite sank to the bottom of the deep mountain river Kervak along with them. <br /><br />It
was a long time before the people realized that she wasn’t with them.
It was then they discovered how heroic the lone Gurk mercenary was. She
was willing to give her all for them and that is what she did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
________</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then my friend had her Character, Rover the space cowboy, jump in for the rescue! After struggling to get Kervak breathing again, Rover managed to give this story a happy ending.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the Role Play we both decided to draw pictures from the crossover story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are two that she did. I really love the dramatic elements to these!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img14.deviantart.net/8381/i/2016/234/b/8/toward_the_surface_by_chill13-daew73l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img14.deviantart.net/8381/i/2016/234/b/8/toward_the_surface_by_chill13-daew73l.jpg" height="448" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pre05.deviantart.net/7d02/th/pre/i/2016/308/b/3/water_and_fire_by_chill13-damz9p6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://pre05.deviantart.net/7d02/th/pre/i/2016/308/b/3/water_and_fire_by_chill13-damz9p6.png" height="388" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then lastly I drew Rover trying to hear Kervak's heartbeat. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

An awesome friend and Super Strike 10 fan sent me a picture of himself drawn as a Rygol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I couldn't help but draw him up in an action pose!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also I did a redraw of a scene from the comic with Scout and Rita as people. It's quite fun re-imagining them this way. </div>

Some of my readers had asked what Scout would look like if she was a person. One of them even drew a picture of her. So this inspired me to draw her up. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really happy with the way she looks. She makes for an interesting character.</div>

It was then they discovered how heroic the lone Gurk mercenary was. She was willing to give her all for them and that is what she did. <br /><br /><br />This is for a contest that I entered somewhere else online. The theme was "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."<br /><br />This is a contest entry and not Super Strike 10 Canon!

I wanted to try out some new lighting techniques and am quite happy with the results.</div>

For those of you that have been following Super Strike, I have something exciting to share with you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am currently putting together an animated comic trailer for the third installment of the Super Strike comic series. It will give you an idea of what the new story will bring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a still from the trailer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I drew some more of those crazy aliens called Vilos. They do seem to be a sort of Napoleonic sci-fi. I like that. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig09.deviantart.net/b435/f/2015/357/6/b/vilos_galore_by_alexvanarsdale-d9l5z93.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig09.deviantart.net/b435/f/2015/357/6/b/vilos_galore_by_alexvanarsdale-d9l5z93.png" height="186" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently I've been experimenting with changing my style for my Super Strike comic. It seems that the story is getting more serious and deeper. I've had some fans tell me that a more realistic style would fit it better. So I sketched out some concepts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img12.deviantart.net/01bf/i/2015/365/a/d/sketches_by_alexvanarsdale-d9m89dd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img12.deviantart.net/01bf/i/2015/365/a/d/sketches_by_alexvanarsdale-d9m89dd.jpg" height="640" width="588" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Seeing how cool they looked I started thinking about what they would look like if they were in a live action movie so I did some digital paintings/photo-manipulation. I used some <a href="http://blackwingstock.deviantart.com/">stock photos </a>to go from on these.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is movie Scout!<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig05.deviantart.net/5152/f/2016/007/c/e/scout_movie_style_by_alexvanarsdale-d9n0tgh.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig05.deviantart.net/5152/f/2016/007/c/e/scout_movie_style_by_alexvanarsdale-d9n0tgh.jpg" height="606" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And here is a scene from the first comic were Rita was wounded done up like a movie.<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig06.deviantart.net/115e/f/2016/007/4/8/untitled_1_copy_copy_by_alexvanarsdale-d9n5aj7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig06.deviantart.net/115e/f/2016/007/4/8/untitled_1_copy_copy_by_alexvanarsdale-d9n5aj7.jpg" height="386" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a digital painting of 'real' Gar and Rossi.<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig08.deviantart.net/b94d/f/2016/008/2/8/real_gar_and_rossie_by_alexvanarsdale-d9n8jgo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig08.deviantart.net/b94d/f/2016/008/2/8/real_gar_and_rossie_by_alexvanarsdale-d9n8jgo.jpg" height="476" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I did some redesigns of my characters.<br />
<br />
Gar<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig15.deviantart.net/055c/f/2016/053/5/e/gar_by_alexvanarsdale-d9sse6u.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig15.deviantart.net/055c/f/2016/053/5/e/gar_by_alexvanarsdale-d9sse6u.jpg" height="640" width="351" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Rita<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://pre06.deviantart.net/081f/th/pre/f/2016/010/0/3/classic_comic_rita_by_alexvanarsdale-d9nedbe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://pre06.deviantart.net/081f/th/pre/f/2016/010/0/3/classic_comic_rita_by_alexvanarsdale-d9nedbe.jpg" height="640" width="506" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scout<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://img11.deviantart.net/89a6/i/2016/016/e/c/classic_comic_style_scout__by_alexvanarsdale-d9o65nu.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://img11.deviantart.net/89a6/i/2016/016/e/c/classic_comic_style_scout__by_alexvanarsdale-d9o65nu.jpg" height="640" width="542" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And Kervak (she will appear in the storie's third installment)<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig03.deviantart.net/b2a2/f/2016/013/a/3/kervak_by_alexvanarsdale-d9ntjnj.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig03.deviantart.net/b2a2/f/2016/013/a/3/kervak_by_alexvanarsdale-d9ntjnj.jpg" height="640" width="433" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also experimented with the expressions for the more realistic style.<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig03.deviantart.net/b29f/f/2016/013/0/2/rita_expres_by_alexvanarsdale-d9nso6i.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig03.deviantart.net/b29f/f/2016/013/0/2/rita_expres_by_alexvanarsdale-d9nso6i.jpg" height="378" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig14.deviantart.net/617e/f/2016/043/b/5/sick_kervak__normal_colors__by_alexvanarsdale-d9rioia.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig14.deviantart.net/617e/f/2016/043/b/5/sick_kervak__normal_colors__by_alexvanarsdale-d9rioia.png" height="640" width="348" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lastly I put together an underwater scene with Scout in the new style. I like how it turned out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://orig09.deviantart.net/4144/f/2016/047/8/5/sink_or_swim_by_alexvanarsdale-d9s02ye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://orig09.deviantart.net/4144/f/2016/047/8/5/sink_or_swim_by_alexvanarsdale-d9s02ye.jpg" height="498" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think of the new style? Does it fit Super Strike or not?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've been far too slow with this blog so I thought I'd make it up to you with another 'MEGA POST'! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll start with some new alien races I've been coming up with lately for Super Strike 10.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've also been working on getting all my characters and races all to proper scale. Here are some size charts to show how tall they are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the sizes of the main characters<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
And here are some of my bad guys trying to make up their minds. Hopefully the little alien will get away. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And last but not least. Kervak! A character who hasn't appeared yet in Super Strike. She's really a cool character and I can't wait until she makes her debut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've been neglecting this blog lately. There are quite a few images that I haven't posted here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will start with a random Gurk Character that I was designing for the third installment of Super Strike. </div>

Here is something I was playing around with last night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe class="flashtime" frameborder="0" height="384" noresize="noresize" scrolling="no" src="http://sandbox.deviantart.com/?fileheight=384&filewidth=640&filename=s3orig%3Af%2F2015%2F131%2F5%2F6%2Fkervak_game_test_by_alexvanarsdale-d8sxy8s.swf" style="background-color: #dae5d6; color: #2c3635; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" width="640"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The game isn't finished nor is the level but it's pretty cool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Controls: Z(jump) X(shoot) C(switch weapons) Arrow Keys(to move)<br />
<br />
Note: For some unknown reason the health packets don't give you anything. (That annoys me) </div>
