Description Commission for :ashkihyena:

This is Saurus who will be eventually appearing as a villain in the Zodiac comic. His power is the ability to grow to super size and he has incredible strength and toughness at any size. I was asked by Ashki to draw a pic of Aries having beat up some random villain and I made Saurus as the guy on the receiving end.

Since then I have done several pics of Saurus and a kind of story and character has continued to evolve. He started out as a villain who always got what he wanted through strength but Aries taught him that there is more to it all than just being a thug no matter how strong you are.

In this pic, Saurus is remembering he glory days when he belonged to the Alpha City professional wrestling circuit with Aries (then called Gatecrasher). Many supers worked an honest gig as pro-wrestlers and it became a recruiting ground for the mob as a good place to hire muscle.

Eventually, the mob took over and Saurus dived into the lifestyle of a mob fixer while Aries got out. Eventually, Saurus' inability to listen to anyone weaker than himself got the better of him and he was kicked out of the mob. They could not threaten him as he was too powerful but they made if impossible for him to work in organized crime again. That leads us to what he is doing now and how we will meet him in the comic.

Oohooh! Interesting character backstory! I also like the pics usage of texture to define muscle and scale, that's pretty kickass.

And it turns out Godzilla really was pregnant with child after all!

As I mentioned on FA, this came out great.

Heh, and yeah, I guess this is before everything given that he still has all his teeth.

Yep, this pic is before Aries joins Zodiac so he still has all his teeth. I'm going to try real hard to make that picture I did for you happen in the comic.

Cool! So this guy will be appearing in the zodiac comic.That was very interesting on his bio.

Eggplantm In reply to Curator85 [2009-10-09 12:28:40 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! He will be showing up. Saurus is kind of different as a villain and not so 2-D as many are. He could be a spin-off story.

So this guy is hard to work with? I can take a bet he can get pissed off easily

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Eggplantm In reply to aliancedragoncomandr [2009-10-09 12:30:08 +0000 UTC]

Yep, get's pissed easy. His major drawback is that the only thing he respects is power and physical power more than anything else. He knows he's no genius but feels a lot of contempt for those weaker than himself. Gets along best with other super-powered beings.

but Saurus change his attitude after he defected to the hero side or he just stayed the same, despite being defected?

Ashkihyena In reply to Eggplantm [2009-10-09 17:17:43 +0000 UTC]

Well, I can imagine after his encounter with Aries, he calmed down a bit.

As for getting along with Supers better then regulars, I can see that, though I can see him not getting along to well with Aries or Zodiac that great though.

I agree. The members of Zodiac don't share enough of his personality traits or ideals

Ashkihyena In reply to Eggplantm [2009-10-09 17:53:55 +0000 UTC]

True, though I can't imagine him being evil again. I'd have to say he's more like Scorpio, longs for the freedom for being teh villain but can't.

He is smart enough to know what would happen if he did, and well, those things that Alpha City or whoever uses is enough to keep him in line, and I'd have to imagine that he's not to thrilled about that.
