File:Mr Eye Anamatic test 2 0001

Description
This is a bit of an awkward first thing to share for the Dynamic Debutantes project, but the way things worked out the elements to put this test together came before anything else.

I plan on incorporating the Fear Mythos into the background of the superhero universe that Dynamic Debutantes takes place in, but in a mostly minor role.

That said I took a great deal of inspiration from the Fear "the Eye" and specifically the "Mr. Oculus" interpretation. I thought a character like that would thrive rather well (if a bit awkwardly) in a superhero universe.

I'm also a huge fan of the work of Steve Ditko with his characters such as the The Question and Mr. A,* who were both parodied in the Alan Moore work Watchmen. These are characters who have strict black and white moral codes that they adhere to. These characters are known for the fact that killing isn't a first resort to them, but if it comes to that they'll kill without batting an eyelash.

I thought these two things would mesh well, (especially if you've ever seen the more abstract moments of a Mr. A story). Basically Mr. A as an Eldridtch Abomination who is still (mostly) on the side of justice.

I'm shooting for the next test to be a bit more accurate to the general tone of the series itself. In the mean time hope you enjoy.


 * To get the tone right for the type of voice I wanted to use, the opening line is taken directly from the Count Rogue story in Mr. A #2 Mr. Ditko, Mr. Snyder or any other interested party if you find this and wish for me to take this down, contact me and it's done. I only used the dialogue as a creative exercise, I will not be using it in any more official capacity and no plagiarism is intended.
