Secret Asian Man by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

Field commander of Special Task Force 0, nicknamed "Secret Asian Man", departs a CRF camp after negotiating its withdrawal from Xinjiang.

Xinjiang's super-spy in the IOT spin-off Multipolarity. He's a man of few words, but his actions speak for themselves; he'll do whatever it takes to stop the CRF, even if it means crushing them with his bare hands. And he might very well be able to do that.

I'll often wonder if my cartoons will ever reach a semi-professional standard... and then something like this happens. The lines probably took only two to three hours total, but the shading at least doubled the work. I debated doing the smoke clouds in post, but in the end I'm happy I didn't, even if my lead will pay for it later. The scanner ate some of the shading, but not enough that I totally lost the contrast. The face is a little crooked, but not so bad that it visibly detracts. It was reasonably clean so I uploaded it without much further editing; I might tidy it up some time later.

All-'round, it's certainly one of my better pieces, and an instant personal favourite.

His appearance is based on the (modern) Attila the Hun Civ3 leaderhead by R8XFT. His name was inspired by a popular mal-entendre of a certain Johnny Rivers song.
