Description
Commission from Mid-Ohio Con 2011; Copic marker, ink, white paint pen.There's something great about the Dreanoks. They're all filthy, grimy, skeezy old bikers; you look at pictures of them and you can practically smell them, all leather and smoke, gasoline and liquor. If you draw a Dreadnok and he looks like a dude you'd want to hang out with, either you drew him wrong or you ARE a Dreadnok.
So why was Torch one of my 2 favorites? Mustache powers. And those rocking aviator shades. Why was he number 2? Because Buzzer took fools out with a dang CHAINSAW!
...Number 3 was Ripper, largely because he was pretty much Macho Man Randy Savage as a Dreadnok, and that is inherently awesome.

I always liked Buzzer, but Torch was gunning for second place. (Burning for second place?)

reminds me of Lemmy, the singer from Motorhead, don't worry it really jives with the image

Absolutely. WINstache.

Hey, don't forget that before he joined the Deadnoks, Buzzer was a college professor. He had intended to study biker gangs and the micro-society they produce, only to find he was damn good at being a biker.
Still, I can't fault you for your choice of character here. Other than a chainsaw you can't get more intimidating weapon-wise than a Flamethrower. They're actually banned for warfare by the Geneva Convention.

...Which is a crazy backstory for Buzzer. He must've been, what? Anthropology? And he turns into a chainsaw-wielding evil biker mercenary? Talk about changing career-paths.

Needs more mustache. Never enough mustache.

You want me to just BURY the guy in mustache? Until there's nothing left of him but face-fuzz?

Oh jeez, that would be hilarious. I think I'll draw that and send it to you, haha.

Very nice! The Dreadnoks don't get enough cred, IMO. "Storm Shadow" this, "Storm Shadow" that. Never mind him; gimme the Dreadnoks!

Word. Ninjas are deeply overrated. I'll take the cigar chomping biker with the flame-thrower or the hippy punk with the chainsaw any day.

This has to be the most badass artwork of Torch, EVER!! Totally love it! And Torch is my Number 1 Dreadnok! He sets people/stuff on fire, come on!! Thanks for the greasiest, dirtiest, smelliest sketch in my book!

You are completely welcome. And like I said, Torch would BE my #1 guy, but Buzzer uses a chainsaw! A CHAINSAW! And not just a normal one, a tricked-out SUPER chainsaw. That's just--I mean, how do you beat that?

I always thought they were. And their leader (Zartan) was much cooler than any of the other Cobra leaders - Destro included!

At first glance in my inbox, I thought this was a ghostbuster. Now I can't help imagining the Dreadnoks with proton packs, fighting ghosts. It's both hilarious, awesome and so frickin' wrong at the same time.

Oh, man... imagining that is pretty great. With those low-class brit and aussie accents? Awesome.
