    Wow, that is damn impressive work. I love it!

    You probably mean the crazy person who just cut its mandibles off with a laser sword.

    I'm glad that the scope of the fight was expanded to include the qularr ships. The fight looks big yet shows that its only a small part of something bigger, but not the least bit less important.

    That doesn't look like how I remember Iris. Did she get a new costume?

    Yep, I set up a formal orange/blue costume. I can't find any screens of it, but one of the blogs probably has a screenshot of it somewhere.

    Caliga Vs Johnny Hercules during the Bloodmoon event!

    And there you have it folks! Once again Alex Dai has turned another glorious art piece! I can't thank him enough for his hard work. Look for more of his work at his art page in my signature!

    Next up, a history montage of Caliga, from his home planet, to the war with the gadroon, the murder of his wife, and his coming too Earth!

    Great image. Appropriate ambiance of a bloodmoon battle between two powerhouses in an eerie setting. I've always enjoyed your commissions of Caliga. :smile:

    It's unfortunate that I cannot stop focusing on the "Weeping Angel" in the background...I should not have watched those Doctor Who episodes...:eek:

    Thanks for the Gif Stellario! You're awesome.

    Also, I talked to Alex and he is doing an "Origin" piece for me of Caliga. Here is the preview, and below it is how Alex himself explained what is going on in the picture.

    l073.jpg

    Alright here's the sketch, it's a bit complicated so I'll describe what's going on to make sure it's clearer.

    "So from left to right

    Caliga and queen on balcony looking over prosperous planet

    Gadroon invasion, ships surrounding planet, Gadroon in the background about to squeeze the planet

    Queen putting helmet on Caliga, more soldiers lined up next to him

    Caliga kicking ****, but there's just too many of them!

    Caliga on his knees and shackles, queen is about to get shot by Gadroon, his helmet is on the ground with a knife through the slit with blood, indicating that's how he lost an eye

    Big figure of Caliga looking sad/mad with Queen portrait behind him and shot of planet exploding behind him as well.

    Hope I got everything you wanted in there. Let me know what you think." - Alex Dai


    All of this is fitted into his cape as a symbol of what and where he came from. What do you guys think so far? :)

    Okay this is bad **** and everything but i got a question. o.o
    Why does it seem that in a few panels, his helmet seems different compared to his current (in-game) one?

    Anyway cool stuff, you must be Alex Dai's regular customer XD

    That is correct. The armor and helmet you will see in this commission will be of what warriors of his planet wore.

    I say, his dad is a the Gadroon Imperial Leader. Who's voice sounds like this guy.

    Gadroon Daddy: "No. I am your father."

    Caliga: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

    Either that, or his dad is Kermit the Frog. :eek:

    Then again, might be this guy. :biggrin:

    Well at least he can sing.

    I do like this insight we get into Caliga's past, it looks and feels like it's his core reason for becoming what he is today, it also explains his anger towards Gadroon forces.

    It's well constructed I think, allows you to get a good picture of the situation and part of Caliga's history.

    Great work Alex Dai!

    Caliga, having lost his love and former home, would be more fitting as Darth Vader. As such, you need to press this button instead. :tongue:

    The piece does look nice though. Oh, and if Caliga ever wants his eye back he should probably talk to KT after she has her science lab funded and functional.

    I've seen the other art before, but the collage that shows the backstory makes me feel bad for all those pokes I've given you. Caliga doesn't like pokes because he was already poked horribly before... in the heart :frown:

    Also, in the eye it seems. Poked with a knife in the eye.

    Alex does amazing stuff, I actually have plans for another of my own with him soon.

    The only thing that bothers me about this is I keep wanting to see the back of the cape flap over in that top left area. It would of course mean cutting a little bir of the concept.

    But as far as the art work it's fantastic! Who would of thought Caliga would have looked like Ben Affleck from Argo.
