"The Fury of the Crimson Waste" by Kevenn T. Smith

This new Rebel illustration features "The Crimson Fury," a rebel who was the defender of the desert area on the planet Etheria known as The Crimson Waste. This was an area that Horde member, Scorpia came from. Crimson Fury appeared in only one issue (#10) of the UK She-Ra comic book. He seemed to have quite the rivalry with a Horde official named Count Sneer. Crimson Fury also had a green falcon named Talon that helped him out, hence the whistle worn on a chain around his neck and the leather wrapped forearms.

I like Crimson Fury's Lawrence of Arabia inspired look. I did make a few design alterations here and there. I added a few more small details to try to bring more "red" into his look. I mean, if you're going to call yourself "The Crimson Fury," it'd be a good idea to have some more crimson in your look. That's just smart branding. I also darkened the tone of his skin. the comic book had him lily white, and if someone was in the sun a lot, it's more "believable." Plus, I wanted to add a little more diversity to the skin tones of the Great Rebellion and show a heroic male with a darker skin tone in this line. Also, for only having one obscure appearance, I didn't feel like that was an area that I needed to be a slave to the limitations of the original media and time period.
