It's a watermelon monster, run for your lives! Or at least go get some salt and a melon baller.
This is the first of, hopefully, many posts that detail some of the unique art of Heroes Rising. Particularly, the art I (Gar aka Daniel Peyton) have created.
This was a piece I did about a year ago. It is a mixed media painting using both traditional and digital art, both created by me. A friend of mine, Steve Argyle, was teaching a group of us about how he does his art and helped us all grow as artists. For his birthday we were asked to paint/draw something for him. Steve loves watermelon...I mean, it's a condition that might require therapists if it gets any worse. So, I created this creature in honor of his addiction. Is it coming for revenge for all of it's fallen comrades? Is it Steve's love child with that one especially voluptuous melon he found? We may never know. However, it made it's way across the universes into Heroes Rising and found a place among the power cards.
I helped create the powercard as well and I thought it would be interesting if a hero had the ability to summon plants to aid him. Not just grow them or move them, but turn fruits and vegetables into little minions. It would be a silly sight to see all the produce of the supermarket coming to his aid, that is until you are pummeled by a head of lettuce and five cantaloupes.
