With the Trojan whores you can change protagonists - there are a lot of different models, including male ones. Some of them use quite a bit of unarmed combat in taking on the assassins. There are many different versions up on YouTube. But the Saints, along with the mission protagonist presumably, are basically criminals, just less "bad" and capable of some good acts, unlike other criminals they fight (I can't abide making "heroes" of these types myself, and the character in it with the sing song electronically distorted voice is infuriating). So, for me, the protagonist maybe has to be "imagined" as a "proper" goodie.
Yes...I don't think I actually gloat over what happens to them - it's just recognizing satisfactory justice has been done in such cases. However, this isn't so if basically decent people are offed or locked up forever. So, my villains have no consciences or ethics - I show them doing something very bad/being vicious and often getting kicks out of it - all for thoroughly selfish reasons - or I'll write a short accompanying narrative to point out what they're like if its a stand alone pic just of them being taken out. RAVEN agents have to be perfectly willing to commit the most atrocious crimes without any reservations or squeamishness, if they enjoy it, do it enthusiastically, all the better - but just being cold blooded and indifferent is fine too. Being arrogant and conceited...and usually not very bright...they don't tend to consider they will have to pay for these crimes some time - they think THEY will always get away with it. The posted pic is one of a set which begins with the massacre/robbery they carried out.
RAVEN agents would not be involved in any cause set on destroying the world - as they would go with it - the same reason they'd never "go down fighting to the end".
You hardly ever see anything with scenarios and characters along similar lines as my stuff - which is why I took up doing it myself. I especially like the idea of an unarmed heroine (or two) taking on a lot of gun toting henchwomen - or ones who use "old fashioned" warrior weapons (like ninja ones) against many gun-women, beating them. This emphasizes the idea of skill and warrior arts as opposed to numbers and relying on firearms. So, arrogant henchwomen, who think they can't lose, have all the advantages, are stunned as the tables are turned on them.
MikeA is maybe a bit similar. He's much better than I am in his art, which is Poser, but his heroines are brutal sadists and the gore is often too much for me. He also does a lot of non modern scenarios - gladiators and such, which I don't care for in this sort of thing. I love dangerfan's site on deviantart, but his commissions, featuring his arch criminal Purple Vixen, are often far more jokey in approach than what I do - and he rarely has firearms etc or death/serious injury. He also develops his villainess and some of the henchwomen at times as "individuals " - which I really don't. His smug villainess and her henchwomen are ALWAYS being defeated by a range of protagonists, often in a humiliating fashion - even a kid, okay a superhero kid admittedly, can take Vixen and her "zako" apart. That's the conceit of the Purple Vixen series - Vixen and co are committed to and enthusiastic about greedy villainy alright, though really rather hopeless at it - but keep bouncing back for still more embarrassing and painful defeats, like Wiley E Coyote.
Where is the picture from?
