For those who don't know, the Vanguard is my concept army. Powerful anti-demon, undead and criminal. Semi-ancient society. Has a habit of staying underground and unknown, gathering forces and then cropping up to do a planet-wide cleanup.

Thing is, they're violent. They'll destroy entire cities in pursuit of their goals. They're amoral though, and won't kill innocents and generally evacuate cities first. But they will shoot the possessed.

Thus, the concept for this picture.

-Very- proud with how this turned out.

The look of the handwriting looks pretty awesome but the background could definitely use some work.

See, I think the other way around.
I thought the text sucked, since it's all uneven and crap.

The background just doesn't have a lot going for it, it doesn't catch my eye what so ever. The text can be fixed, A. place a piece of lined paper under the sheet you're drawing on next time, or take a pencil and very lightly trace lines on the paper itself.

I did the pencil thing, I probably could have done gridded lines to make it more... symmetrical, in a way.

And how does a city on fire not catch one's eye?

Compared to the enormous V it's pretty bland. But maybe that's just me.

It's a symbol I have created. If you draw it and draw it well, I have automatic permission to use it wherever I like.

Also, it's partially incorrect. It looks like this:

That didn't work, and I don't see an edit button.
So here it is again.

I think Nurvana meant that you should write it on AG. Also if you do write it on AG; make sure you copy and paste from Notepad because AG doesn't register MS Word punctuation and throws all kinds of holes into the story.

It's not so much a "story" as a quick outline of who they are and who runs them.
