Stargate: Anti-Trust

This is just a little cover mock-up for an idea I've had rattling about in my head for a little while now.

As I've stated before I really dig the Stargate franchise and in the series Stargate SG-1 there was a group called "The Trust". Basically they were a shadow group that continually conspired to use the stargate and the technology the SGC procured for their own benefit - and by "benefit" I mean "pocketbook".

Anyway I just wanted to flesh out this idea a little so I thought I'd post it here.

Bugs

I was drawing the other night with no real purpose.
This is what came out.
I may think of something profound to say about it at a later date. If I do you'll be the first - - well, the second to know.
From pencils to inks and digital color it took about four and a half to five hours to get to this point.

Stargate - Sobek

In the Stargate franchise they frequently used ancient Egyptian gods as the villains.

Sobek is an ancient Egyptian god that was never used as a villain in the program. In Egyptian art he was frequently portrayed as a man with a crocodiles head, hence the Jaffa armor on the right.

For those who are unfamiliar with the franchise the Jaffa are basically the slaves of the main villains, the Gou'auld.

Their foot soldiers frequently wore body armor that reflected who it was they served.

Operation: mindcrime

Queensryches album Operation: mindcrime is, in my humble opinion, the single greatest rock/metal album of all time.
I know some would disagree but like I said, IMHO...

This is a work in progress - there is more detail to be added and of course color which I may or may not do myself (depending on whether I can get an acquaintance to work for compliments...)

For those unfamiliar with the album each song tells the story of a guy who's life went from bad to worse as he gets wrapped up in an underground criminal revolutionary movement he can't escape because of his addictions and the fact that Dr. X has him under his control because "Dr. X is the man with the cure".
The three characters portrayed here are (from left to right) Dr. X, Nikki and Mary.

Solomon Grundy

I first heard of Solomon Grundy on an old episode of the Ghostbusters cartoon back in the 80's.

Egon gets possessed by this spirit and goes on a rampage after appearing as a guest on some news/talk show.

I loved that cartoon...

Anyway I always thought it was a nice creepy sounding name and wanted to draw a character and call him "Solomon Grundy".

But I realized I had no idea what the origin of the name was so I did what any industrious young man would do.

I went to wikipedia.

Heres what they had to say about it:

"Solomon Grundy" is a 19th century children's nursery rhyme, and was presented by James Orchard Halliwell-Phillipps in 1842. The poem is essentially a riddle in which the life of Solomon Grundy appears to take place in the process of a single week, the answer being that each day's events represent the seven ages of man.
The rhyme reads:
Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
That was the end of
Solomon Grundy.

Up, up and away...
