And, many years later, I'm finally able to pay tribute to one of my favourite comics of all time.

Published in good old Sonic the Comic, Pirate STC was a bizarre strip loosely based on the Pirate TV ad campaign for Sega here in the UK.
It saw TV Pirates Fezhead and Skull scouring the airwaves for the laziest group of couch potatoes to turn into proactive "commandos" by way of thrusting them into anarchical computer game worlds.

Here we have every significant character and most of the secondaries too. It 's probably obvious that I drew and coloured everybody separately and collated them here so I'll probably post them all separately too so as to introduce a little bit of the mentality of the comic.
I also tried to incorporate some colour theory, using less orthodox hues for shading; It worked better in some places than others but I think it's been a help to me overall.

Well thank you kind sir!
I think a lot of it comes down to my having to draw the characters in a style very similar to the source material or they wouldn't look right, and the source material is very expressive!

Awwwwwwwwwww, wow. Pirate STC was boss. Next floor, garden accessories and DIY! XD

Never thought I'd see fanart of this. The style is perfect as well.

I know! There doesn't seem to BE any fan art of it! That seriously needed remedying.

An important part of my childhood and nearly two decades ago! I don't know how depressed to feel about that!

Oh my word, never thought I'd ever see fan art of this comic, let alone one with every darn character. This is just too fantastic for words.
