Description Uploads are a go once more! Don't worry for what's been going on behind the scenes.

Red Leader's design that will be used in a future story (no pun intended) for this project.
As Red Leader has not made any appearances in Eddsworld yet, some creativity had to be used to make a too-many-details design for him for an idea of mine. That's your cue to not think of this design as canon in any way!
Continuing from the description for the last concept art...

***

The Red Leader may most likely not end up looking like this in canon, but he could in a distant future! This is how the Red Leader would look like in the new future created after WTFuture. In that new future, he would rule the world as a dictator with an iron fist. He would also have strong connections with the creation of new weapons, as well as having control over the military.
Just as the Red Leader has people who look up to him without realizing how awful he is, there would be people who fear for their lives because of his rule or are not afraid to go against him.
Though the new future may not be that bad for his legion of devotees or his officers, he punishes those who oppose his views/threatens his dictatorship and is not above to ordering their execution or torturing them for giggles. And that's not even describing what he orders his officers to do to enforce his rule...

But how does he gain so many followers or underlings to work for him? Blackmail is a common thing he uses, along with "nice" words and impossible promises for a new world under his rule. One of those things would be the factor behind Future Tom and Future Matt working for him. (Don't worry for those two, they end up defecting him and helping Future Edd).

This future's Edd would have been working for him as well, but he had a realization and did an act of defection - which leads to his arrest and order for execution. And that's where that story of this Edd's future-changing would begin!
Why is the Red Leader like this in the new future - what's his motive, anyway? What had to happen in the present time for this future to occur in the first place...?

This idea could be made into a comic or something later on. I'll explain the story and what happens through it in more detail in later deviations relating to this story.

***

The Red Leader himself isn't immune to the changes this future gave him!
He's still Tord, but in this future, he has gained massive levels of villainy (and we don't know if the Red Leader-to-be in the present time is villainous yet). By that point he is no longer the same person Edd, Tom, and Matt knew him as.
The Red Leader casted away and forgot both his sympathy and empathy for people in return for skills he would need to dictate. He's become more ruthless and intimidating in his methods of dealing with people. His general calmness adds more to his scariness, but he is prone to getting angry when his plans foil (which is a little funny). He fights at the front sometimes as well, and is not afraid of putting his life on the line. The Red Leader puts more bullets in his opposing parties' heads than the opposing parties managing to take a shot at him. But to some twisted extent, he still cares about his former friends and regrets having to resort to hurting them at some point.

Again, if you've made it this far in, I thank you for reading another long description and showing interest in this idea. Red Leader's design is probably a little too overboard.
Yes, the "present-time" Red Leader will be drawn too, as soon as he physically appears in Eddsworld.

I do not own Eddsworld or the idea of a Red Leader.

Yeah! I always draw out a gray stick-man before anything else in sketches. Doing that helps me see how I want to pose a character and where the eyes and the rest of the features of the face would align. For concept art, I leave the stick-man in if there won't be color added to them.

If you look closely at the stick-man on the left, they're holding their hands out in that classic villain pose. That was originally Red Leader's pose, but I changed it halfway through the sketch c:

I may be adding on too much, but I feel he needs that kind of hat Stalin wore :0
I don't know why, I just think he'd probably be just like him and fuck everything up (8
//assuming he's a communist as well as a dictator

But seriously, no lie, this is the best design of future Tord I've ever seen
I've seen two others but they don't really have that leader vibe like this one does 8'D
fabulous cape

Haha, I thought something was missing! Meta-wise, the hat might be a little too much but god now I want to draw him wearing that hat once.
In-universe, maybe he wears that hat only when he's feeling in the leader mood? That hair is just too good to be hidden underneath a cap.
He's definitely going to fuck/fucked a lot of shit up, for sure.

Future and fictional Tord would be more of a dictator than a communist at his point in time, I imagine. But yes he would still have communist beliefs.

And thank you c:
Just taking the "leader" in his name and the military/army elements in his character and blowing it up for people to see! With or with no cape.

I don't think the design you already have is too much, I mean when you think about it, a leader is supposed to look a little pampered to show their authority, right?
Haha yes, he can't hide those glorious locks all the time! xD
Knew it. xD

Oooh. :0

You're welcome! ; u ;

That's... actually a good point :0
You have convinced me to add a hat in his design in some of his future appearances!

Although drawing Tord with a hat on is going to look a little strange.

He looks crazy, tho.

Woah, Tord's fangirls may be... unpleasant at times, but they don't deserve that at all! D:

There's nothing wrong with crazy at all.
...Unless you are the bad dictator of the future and have violent urges, then yeah there's a bit of a problem there.
