[Work in Progress] Kakashi #1: Murder Dolls Cover

Pestilence. Famine. Pain. These are the father of the Scarecrow – the Kakashi – a grim legacy of disposable soldiers, gifted nigh-immortal bodies by NOIRCO to defend the atrophying farmsteads of Tristitia against the ravenous appetites of the Ziz!

Synopsis

It is 75-years since the collapse. The weak have been culled. Monsters on black wings fill the sky and the fight for survival is more dire than ever. As the seeds of a neo-civilization arise from the ashes of Tartary, the old world is forgotten and with it, the old lessons.

Will the hungry hands of corporations close around the heart of this once great nation or will they retain their liberty and autonomy – if faced with an apocalypse, would you trade your freedom for security?

This dystopian series will follow the tribulations of two NOIRCO Scarecrows (Jack Williams and Scarlett Grayson) as they defend their post, the remote landlocked farmstead of Gwydir (Pronounced: Glai-dah).

Under the tutelage and guidance of their abusive drunk mentor, the legendary Scarecrow Superman, Lloyd Sawtell, the surrogate siblings struggle to find meaning and purpose in their thankless lives.

Struggling to balance the tedium of their job with the sudden peril and urgency it entails, the passionate gunbunny, Scarlett, finds herself seeking an escape from her responsibilities, frequently succumbing to distraction and carelessness. While her stalwart older brother, Jack, tries to give meaning to his struggles, scars, and abuses by surpassing the legend of his (deadbeat) adopted father.

However, when Lloyd’s latest reincarnation does not go as planned, the two find themselves with more questions than answers and shouldered with a responsibility neither particularly want or are prepared for…

KAKASHI PROGRESS REPORT

Hello Everyone!  Liam here.

This one is taking a while to finish. Yuka is still learning how to implement colors and there were some major changes needed to give the landscape the beautiful sunburnt look we were trying to capture. Today we (almost) finished but ran out of time. There's still a bit for us to do on the Terminator Scythe, the trees in the background, and a little more on the shading and textures. This will not be the final cover but I wanted to get this out there and give you guys something to look at. 

If you have not, please consider joining up over on Medibang and leaving a like and a comment. Its free, only takes a moment, and it really helps us out!

I will be building the IndieGOGO campaign this afternoon but it will not go public for a few more days. We need more finished art and we're still tinkering with the designs of the hypersonic weaponry and the firearms.

Thanks again guys, we couldn't do this without you!
