Description
Another piece for Dank Zine (agentannk.com ), this time an two-page interior spread. I've never been much of a fighting game fan, but Primal Rage captured me as a child for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about me: dinosaurs, cryptozoology, Harryhausen-style stop motion... a perfect storm. The less said about it as an actual game, though, the better. I was more than content to consume it through the Playmates action figure line, which I had most of.

This is my attempt to make a personally idealized version of the Primal Rage roster (as well as the two new "dino-beasts" that would have appeared in Primal Rage 2). Most of the characters remain more or less the same as their original depictions, a couple get mild redesigns (Sauron is made more corpulent befitting his gluttonous nature; Talon gets a few more feathers and a gender swap), and the two palette swap characters get completely overhauled. I absolutely adore how the mandrill-based witch doctor Chaos turned out, but I think I could have gone a little bit farther with Diablo's demonic characteristics.

Every element except the background was done with Copic pens and Prismacolor markers, then composited in Photoshop.

Appearing in Dank Zine #6, September 2017. Art is dated August 27, 2017.
