wikipedia says:
In English, the dogs of war is a phrase from line 270, scene 1, Act III of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar: "Cry 'Havoc!', and let slip the dogs of war" referring to releasing the "dog", i.e. the restraining mechanism, which has been preventing war. It is frequently incorrectly quoted as referring to canine "dogs".
This is not supposed to be the actual cover, although I made it look like one :P ...maybe it'll be an alternate cover... hm. The true cover should be up next... maybe Thursday, maybe Monday.
Warhead, the robot pictured here, is my attempt at coming up with a formidable adversary for Bombshell. His design is based on the robot I drew on page 15 of issue 1, but it took me a whole lot of subsequent overhauls to come up with a design which I really felt hit the mark. In my mind he should look like a walking tank, or a missile silo, but not too angular... bulky, massive and sleek at the same time. And there should also be a visual continuity between him, Bombshell and the girl I like to call Beachhead, pictured here also (and for a closer look I recommend the previous page).
Thanks for reading/commenting/supporting. There's a new Bombshell pin-up for everyone who clicks on the Topwebcomics button above! -Posted on Nov 16, 2009 |
