Description
Pen and Ink with Digital Coloring and FX - I don't normally do much non-TF fanart but I'm trying to get into doing more. I love Homestar Runner, and I especially love their biting (yet loving) parody of 80s cartoon-advertising largesse, Cheat Commandos. This started as a pinup but turned into parody comic cover as I worked on it. The only thing on the cover not done by me is the logo, which I screencapped off the raw flash file for "Shopping for Danger". Taking Strongbad's advice, I squished it, skewed it, and spun it around.Related content

If that was an actual comic, I'd buy 30 copies of every issue. You, my friend, have just made the CCDo's ten times cooler. Somebody needs to start writing that comic.
And somebody better go get Flashfight offa that thing. He's gonna fall into that melty lava.

Okay, I've got a suggestion for the STERRENCE acronym:
Stealthy
Takeover
Eventually
Really
Resulting
(in)
Every
'Nnoying
Commando's
End
(or something like that...)

DUDE! Did you show this to the Chaps yet? It is BRO-awesome!

Haha! Amazing!
This is very, very good! I also like where you placed everyone. Silent Rip looks so determined. Although Reynold and Firebert may want to watch out, xD
I wonder if Crackotage had any rhymes to say there?
And gah, Sarggggent Marshie! What a help he is. He should throw himself in that lava, Homestar isn't the only one that gets nightmares from him. ):
Anyways.
Great job!

I think your rendition of Foxface is an improvement over the real deal. I think it's the lips and eyes.
Other highlights include Operation: S.T.E.R.R.E.N.C.E., that stuff that's totally lava, and the Blue Laser minion with the nunchucks. (I really think Fightgar should back out of that one D: ) Just about all the characters' placement on here is on-point, too.
I love Reinforcements' calm and yet quizzical look on the whole situation. XD

Lawl, I'd totally read this comic if it were real.

I think it's the attention to source material that really makes this. Gunhaver has a gun, there's the official Cheat Commandos logo, "Cheap as Free" licensing continues on, and you even worked in Ser-g-geant Marshie. Highest marks, sir!

Thanks! I wanted to make sure every Cheat Commandos character, at the time, was included... and that meant Marshie and the twins (who are in the marvel-style box). Glad you liked!

I would love to know what the S.T.E.R.R.E.N.C.E. stands for.

Gunhaver actually has a gun!
There are no words that can really describe the pure win this image is made out of.
It's just awesome.

This is great.
This is friggin' great. :drools:
Your rendition of Reynold, Gunhaver, and pretty much the rest of the cast makes for a very shmexy cover.

Oh my GOD this wins. So. Hard. I 
Heh, "LAVA, seriously". I like that. XD

I'm somewhat proud of the "Lava, Seriously" thing myself. TBC have a quirky sense of humor and it seemed like the sort of thing they'd do.
I wish I had time to actually draw the comic.
