Description
Just watched the newly posted teaser trailer for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things so felt it was an apt time to post this this commission I picked up from the most recent Heroes Con!

I’ve chatted with Chris (and his wife Chrissie) a couple times at cons and particularly dug his pieces with classic horror movie characters (he’s a fan of these guys!) done in his more fun, cartoony, animated style…a contradiction of subject and style in a way but IMO that’s part of the allure!

So I knew I wanted to have him do a horror character, but one he hadn’t done before, and Vecna ended up being it. Cool, too, as I’ve watched the show over the last few years with my wife and kiddos and Chris definitely brings a more kiddy spin to the show’s big bad here :) Fun design and the tonal work is next level…lotsa gradients of greys, browns, and some subtle purple. He said he had fun with it and I think it shows. Thanks, Chris!

So close to the final season/episodes airing, quite the journey since it first started! Congrats on the Vecna piece. One of the best/standout villains on "TV" in recent years. Uminga's style def leans a bit less horror/scary than the show does but it still works to capture the character with impressive tonal/color work as you pointed out.

Head for the art, running 'round and 'round
I found him an a-hole, sitting Upside-Down
You point the Vecna at me, but I don't believe

Paint me with brush on a velvet line
You demand Uminga to horrify
In my mind (my mind), there is no time

The Stranger Things, they make Heroes happy
All I want to do is live and go see
The Stranger Things, they make Heroes happy
But it's good, yes, it's good, it's good to recieve

Start the countdown! Great colors and the character design has a wonderful animated feel to it.

Stranger Things season 5 is coming?!?  Oh happy days!  This cool depiction of Vecna is making me even more excited for his return in the coming season!

Oh yes, my friend.  Season 5, the final season!  First volume around Thanksgiving, second volume around Christmas, and series finale on New Year's Eve.  Here's a link to the teaser:

Manga Vecna doesn't look so evil!  He could be your friend!
