A few days early from Madness month (September) I drew up this version of Hank for a comic book series I've been planning for quite a while now with Krinkles. In this version, Hank obviously hasn't gone to ninja stealth mode. This is when Hank is just starting to kick ass.
Basically it's a fresh take on madness. I'm giving it a 'live action' point of view. What I'm intending to do with this idea is bring the Madness world to a cinematic perspective.
Ever since I first saw madness, I saw that it had this great collection of classic elements that I feel could work really well in a live action movie format if all those elements were put into a good story. By good, besides the obvious reasons, I mean an idea that won't stray too far from the source material, but also give it a new twist.
This story is my attempt of that... but I can't reveal too much of it... yet.
p.s. and yes there is an explanation for the cross on the face... but i can't tell you... yet.

It's amazing how the addition of eyes brings a madness character to "life". Not to mention the entire rest of the package you put together here.
This is a truly inspired rendition, and if artwork like this were to spawn an animated series via a traditionally animated cartoon, I'm telling you right now it would be one hell of a hit.
I'm highly excited for the comic book series. Keep it up!
that looks like hank from 2006
I never would've thought of Hank in this way, very interesting, and..It's just epic artwork O.o
Though I do think his goggles during his post-injury rampages are awesome all in their own T.T..
Hes gonna die. Good job
isnt that the chicken dancing hank??
nice pic, i never thought of hankn as that,m but its a new and fresh idea of hank, and i like it!
But, without the Goggles and the hood, he just doesnt seem the same, i mean you gave jesus his sun glasses! so where is hanks awesome gear
Author's Response:
this is pre ninja hank. before he gets stabbed in the chest shot in the head and blown to smitherines. like right when he starts kicking ass. maybe i'll make the ninjafied hank later. ;D
Hank looks russian to me... anyways, keep working!
Love the art, love the idea. BUT KRINKLES HATES PEOPLE WHO SMOKE! Notice how the all die violently in the series.
Author's Response:
krinkels smokes... and everyone dies violently in his series...
If Danny Trejo would play Jesus I think Jason Statham would be Hank. lol
No joke. GREAT JOBZ.
