Description A sketch of Fader from the Get Ed comic. Took me forever to get his face right - any time I'd try to imagine him, he'd end up looking like this picture of Sylar , and I couldn't get a clear fix on his appearance. Of course, far as I'm concerned, he still looks like Sylar...one too many episodes of Heroes, I suppose.

I worked this piece mostly from left-to-right and top-to-bottom, so you can kinda figure out what order I thought of things in. Except for the Progress City lettering of his name; that I added in at the end for fun.

So, yes, he has a gun for an arm (if you've seen brentorama's concept art , you know about the accident). How utterly original of me. XP It's made out of bioferratus, or litterally "living iron" (hey, at least I was original enough to make up a material name). It looks and behaves exactly as a normal arm (in fact, it's actually extra-sensative; he could probably read Braille if he was of the mind to), except for the ability to transform into the plasma blaster ala Megaman. His legs are prosthetic as well, but aren't especially useful except for speed; he's almost as fast as the Dojo's hovercraft.

The lopsided single glove looks odd to me...somebody tell me what to do about that. This isn't a final concept; just the innitial sketch. I just tossed a little paint on it to give you an idea of the colors. Any ideas would be welcome.

And I have GOT to learn to draw guns...

LOL, though I don't plan to have a storyline quite that twisted...

You know what concept you can also use in your comic? Brentorama said in TV.com that Progress City is in Faroe Islands. Use that to create beaches, cold temperatures (snow, what what I need now! It's burning hot today!), some culture, etc. Maybe that'll liven Progress City a little after the Bedlam incident.

Just what we need, Ed has a brother... an evil brother. He looks cool and dangerous. I can't wait for the comic.

Ah, really? I was thinking it was someplace unoriginal, like Los Angeles or something. XD I've got to remember, Canadian teams are more creative than Americans...and there's more interesting places in the world than Hollywood and California.

Good thing they picked someplace snowy...the timeline I've got planned out spans from late-September to mid-April...can you imagine Ed's innitial reaction to snow? The original season one run, I'm thinking, ran April to September (hey, do YOU ever remember seeing snow? And it only rained once...every website I see says the Faroes are foggy and soggy). You should see my computer...I have all sorts of planning documents scribbled about on it; the trouble is, most of them are super-spoilerific and I don't want to give everything away!

Me too, but after hearing that Progress City was in the Faroes, I was like: "Finally, somewhere that isn't USA!" Really, after seeing lots and LOTS of shows in USA, it gets kinda boring.

I can already see his expression... nah, two expressions. Either "Aah! Aliens are falling from the sky," (hey, the only thing that fell from the sky in the first season was water, not snow) or he's scared of the snow.

Ooh, super spoiler for me equals a great comic is coming.
