Hey all for the Challengers Assemble Sketch blog, this week the was theme was "Valiant comics characters". Valiant is a comics publisher that puts out many fun,great titles if you get a chance go seek out there stuff. The character I chose to do an illustration of was XO Manowar, The character is a Visigoth warrior who is abducted by aliens around 400 AD and while on their spaceship gets bonded to a advanced super weapon called the XO armor. The XO armor is like a super power armor that has all sorts of weapons like a power sword, the armor bonds with its user so no one else can use the armor/weapon, think Ben 10 meets Ironman. Using the Armor XO rebels and escapes back to earth only to find out it's present day and he was in suspended animation while on the aliens ship and must use the XO suit to defend the modern world from the alien menace. It's a fun book and well illustrated I recommend it strongly.Hey when you get a chance POP on over to the Challengers Assemble blog.here is the link.
