Good Morning from I need to take my ass to bed in Philadelphia!
Pink Floyd's the Wall was perfect for me to initially do the drawing. But I wanted something a bit closer to the calm chaos that Byron actually grew up in, being trapped between PAGAN-CORP and IACF as a child. With PAGAN-CORP honestly needing him as a fresh recruit for a region that they've totally lost internal ability to control and keep in order. But they were still doing shit like using their abilities to completely phase-out and control Byron's parents. So that they can and could, raise and train Byron as they saw fit, while knowing that they cannot harm or go too far with his parents if they want him to honestly accept and lead them once he became old enough to make his own choices.
Meanwhile?
For the IACF, it is simply about getting him away from PAGAN-CORP and then determining whether or not they need to kill him and his parents for their prolonged exposure to Chester PAGAN-CORP. Unlike PAGAN-CORP in general, the IACF does NOT NEED him. Rare abilities or whatever, they have enough people within their ranks where Byron isn't a scrub. But at the same time the IACF is a human-based, human-controlled, human-run, organization. While PAGAN-CORP was intentionally designed to revolve around a single-person, Charles Pagan. And with his departure each branch and region has been trying to find suitable human-males to help fill in the void left by the departure of the man they were created to serve.
I've stumble-bummed my tired-ass through drawing this new picture of Byron Maxwell, because? I needed to come up with something that I felt was better than his original still-pic pose that I did. But I also wanted something that stood out more because of the fact that Byron's exoarmor is pretty plain-n-straightforward. At the same time I also needed to TRY TO CONVEY in the picture that this is NOT someone to fuck with.
So when I started trying to do the raw draw I realized that I needed to find something to listen to that actually conveyed the underlying seriousness of Byron himself, what he'd been through and what was at stake if he failed to keep in mind that he is PRETENDING TO BE A BRAINWASHED SOLDIER OF THE IMPERIAL AMERICAN COUNTERSTRIKE FORCES. That has been INTENTIONALLY SHIPPED TO CRUSADER BASE OF CAMDEN CITY, SUPPOSEDLY, TO BE AN INSIDE MAN TO MAKE SURE THEY FUCKIN FAIL!
However!?
He has actually CHOSEN TO GO to Crusader Base and the bitches that are supposed to be leading him around by the neck are actually being led around by the neck BY HIM. Which of course would automatically result in a purge of THEM AND HIM! Meanwhile Crusader Base itself is filled with ARC-Mangs that the IACF wants to GET RID OF ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! But doesn't want to simply EXECUTE THEM because of the fact that they are THE PERFECT CANNON FODDER to keep Horus and Camden City HEMMED IN ALONG THE DELAWARE RIVER!
So I needed to find SOMETHING, as far as music. That showed all these elements where on the outside Byron comes across as friendly and happy-go-lucky. But INTERNALLY he is under TREMENDOUS PRESSURE AS A 22 YEAR OLD. Where he was TRAINED to pull all of this OFF! By bitches back at GLA (Glen Loch Academy) that are or WERE! Just as evil and heartless as the SEIAT Mutt-Bitches he now has under his command, EXCEPT THE GLA ARC-Mang ARE SANCTIONED.
To murder teenage boys if they cannot or WILL NOT submit to their brainwashing techniques.
So I needed to find some music that. That embodied what Byron's time at GLA was like, because it is A CORNERSTONE of how he is able to pull all of this off. But it is also a constant reminder of the fact that HE WAS TORTURED. ON PURPOSE. With the intent to determine can he be brought under control through brainwashing? Or does he and HIS FAMILY need to be PURGED! I found this CLIP! And literally kept looping it as I drew this picture. The clip is the Hammer March from Pink Floyd where even the video along with what I've posted as the backstory of WHERE AND WHAT Byron had to go through TO BECOME the young man he is, IS PERFECT FOR THE PICTURE, and MIND YOU!? Before Byron FINALLY WAS ABLE TO CORRUPT the ARC-Mang of GLA and stop what they were doing!? Other students and classmates and their families were murdered right up till he finally was able to turn Valentina-Valentine, the Headmistress of GLA. And that is something that he also has to live with and then had to work out a means for her to MAINTAIN GLA's supposed NORMAL OPERATIONS. While figuring out how to keep her and her facility from continuing to murder unsuspecting boys and their families who think they've sent their child away for an automatic chance to become a cadet in the IACF with superhuman-abilities upon graduation;
