Technical information:
"This character I do not intend to show until
chapter 3 is finished. Basically a fusion
between Stalin, Saddam Hussein, Hitler. Irwin Kirshner's Darth Vader
was also influential. But it seems to me, he was inspired by Stalin.
I also threw in some of the attutudes depicted by CEOs, military leaders
and polititians of our own crazy corporate world. This character is
a texbook definition of a psychopath.
Joseph Cambell's mythological interpretation of darth vader also inspired
me alot.
I wanted to explore evil conduct and psyschopathlogy. I do not believe
in true evil. I tend to agree with the concentation camp survivor
who said: humans are not good or evil. they are just selfish.
In terms of design, I wanted something that looked mechanical. This
character is basically a soul less machine. of course, I wanted him
black. I drew a first charcter sctech back in high school. And tried
to stay as close to it as much as possible while making him more mechanical.
The final result reminds me of Mazinkaizer and Darth Grivous. Which
is a bit disapointing... I'm gona have to figure out a way of moving
away from there....
