Vorticonby *NetRaptor

Scraps

This pic started out as a sketch I was going to dump into Scraps, then I splashed him with an airbrush, and decided he could see the light of day for a while. Anyway, this is a Vorticon from the original Commander Keen games. I played them when they were new, which should tell you how old I am. XD Just looking up the sprites for reference still make the palms of my hands sweat, because when these little sucker see your character, they RUN at you and you die seconds later. I wondered what a vorticon would look like in a modern game, so here's one for you. He's in the garb of Vorticon IV, making the Vorticon V and carrying one of Keen's pistols. I ought to try to draw Keen sometime, too. Ahhh ... had I known what fanfiction was back then, I would have written it.

Ah! Good stuff! To think the Commander Keen community [PCKF] Is still alive and kicking!

I like them, even if they´re enemies of "Captain Keen" *shot by Keen, who is saying "that´s COMMANDER Keen!"* Nice picture, so Vorticons really are looking like dogs? And I always was shocked, if an enemy killed me, because I forgot to deactivate the PC-Speaker. *lol* Nice picture, he looks evil&cool.

KEEEENNNNNNNN! I died at least five hundred times to these guys

Then again, I can say that about a lot of the enemies in any Keen. Though I've beaten 4-6 now. Anyway, nice pic! It's KEEN
