Hi, guys! I’m back with yet another sneak peek at things to come, namely an action figure I made of the upcoming main antagonist of Season 2 of Nemisis: The Radio Series! Here’s a dark backstory as usual, straight from the files of CIA analyst Dr. Kay Miller, so you can come to know and hate the ancient fugitive Nazi economist-turned-terrorist financier ‘DEADBEARD’. ————————————————————— DISCLAIMER: I, Damian Triulcio, by writing this, do solemnly declare that this post is for entertainment purposes only and do not under any circumstances excuse nor condone the crimes committed by the Third Reich between 1923 and 1945. The world must never forget the harsh example of inhumanity set by the National Socialist movement during the Holocaust. ————————————————————— #12inchfigure #custom12inchfigure #nemisistheradioseries #nemisisthesunofmay #thesunofmay #deadbeard #sssturmbannführer #schutzstaffel⚡️⚡️#nazi #antagonist #badguy #worldbuilding #prussia #odessa #drkaymiller #cia #ciafiles #totenkopfss #holocaust #neverforgetholocaust #evil #dragonfigures #dragonfiguresww2 #sideshowcollectibles #custompaintjob #major https://www.instagram.com/p/Cief7clObpK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The wait is finally over... 1984. The world has spiralled out of control. For eighteen years after the destruction of the Third World War, the world has enjoyed a nonetheless uneasy proxy peace, and the Soviets, having triumphed over the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, rule a third of the earth’s surface with an iron fist. War has evolved through the application of technology, to the point where super weapons are the new order, and these super weapons come on the form of elite soldiers, the NATO units organic and the Warsaw Pact mechanical. Battles are fought between Phantoms and Avtomats in the shadows, shifting the course of history more than once in a lifetime. One such soldier, a Rhodesian-born young man named Drake V. Overton, defects from the Soviet Union and becomes a mercenary for hire. This is the story of Drake’s adventures as a globe-trotting soldier of fortune, hoping to keep his dark past hidden. The setting is British Hong Kong, the year is 1984. Press Play On Tape. Welcome to the 1980s... NEMISIS: THE RADIO SERIES | THE JADED MILLENNIUM | Releases Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays starting 21/07/2021 ——————————————— #radiodrama #radiodramarevival #audiodrama #nemisisuniverse #nemisistheradioseries #nemisisthejadedmillennium #coldwar #alternatehistory #politicalthriller #spythriller #dystopianfiction #ussr #britishhongkong https://www.instagram.com/p/CRkySU1MeLG/?utm_medium=tumblr

Looking at these two, I’m amazed as to how far I’ve come. Still, I do tend to jump between different styles, and if you’ve seen my most recent picture of Gwen (the one used on the poster), you can tell I’ve gone full circle! What a life... 😩 NEMISIS Faf: #gwenhunt #nemisisthejadedmillennium General Faf: #digitalart #digitalartist #digitalillustration #graphicart #graphicartist #graphicillustration #popart #comicart #graphicnovel #radiodrama #radiodramarevival #1980s #1980shair #farrahfawcett #farrahfawcettmajors #farrahfawcetthair #charliesangels #beautifulcartoongirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CRL7zvSM8vS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Went diving through the Okhrana Archives today and found an old poster for the 1985 sequel to #nemisisthejadedmillennium !!! Good, init? In all seriousness though, I hope this isn’t too much of a fustercluck to look at. I just had all of these bits and pieces together at last, and so naturally that’s when my brain starts doing... Things. I need help... 😞 NEMISIS Faf: #nemisisuniverse #nemisisomen #drakeoverton #gwenhunt #javierramonenko #cezarrodriguez #marieteresaalvarez #teresaalvarez #riodelmercedes #intibrigade #sancentrino #fictionalcountry #fictionalarmy #nemisisthesunofmay #season2nemisis General Faf: #80smovieposters #graphicart #graphicartist #graphicdesign #popart #comicart #graphicillustration #digitalart #digitalartist #digitalillustration #radiodrama #radiodramarevival #beautifulcartoongirl #alternatehistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CRL34BhMmvR/?utm_medium=tumblr

New day, new artwork, new messed up story from my even more messed up #nemisisuniverse and a brand new way of circumventing Instagram’s idiotic word cap!

Pictured here is a squadron from the much-feared San Centrinian INTI Brigade, which served as Generalissimo Cèzar Rodríguez’s personal death squad from the latter’s seizing of power in the 1976 ‘Wolfbane Revolution’, which received clandestine support from both the CIA (as part of their ongoing ‘Operation Condor’) and a secret society of former prominent industrialists from Hitler’s Germany known as Grüppe 1000, which also supplied several former Waffen-SS personnel as combat advisors. Notice how the soldiers of the INTI Brigade (essentially San Centrino’s secret police and special forces rolled in one) are dressed in an identical fashion to a wartime infantryman serving in either the Wehrmacht or the SS. Despite the San Centrinian Government’s notorious history for harbouring pro-Nazi sentiment, it was in fact economic constraints and NOT ideological factors that led to the adoption of modified surplus Nazi uniforms designed by Hugo Boss during the 1920s and 30s. Prominent departures from the eagles and swastikas of Hitler’s Germany include the fashioning of depictions of Inti, the Incan Sun God, on the helmets and armbands of each member’s uniform. Also noteworthy in this picture is the soldier wearing a tunic and breeches with red lining as opposed to straw along with a red shield on his Stahlhelm. This indicates his position as Captain of the entire Squadron you see here. About 7 squadrons of fifty men each made up the INTI Brigade, which comprised mainly of ex-convicts and intellectuals disillusioned with the previous Communist regime. During ceremonial occasions, as seen here, an INTI Brigadier might expect to be armed with a 19th Century Mauser 98k Service Rifle w/ bayonet. An officer also carries a ceremonial medieval dagger and Mauser C96 automatic pistol. Outside the parade grounds, their real armament is essentially an interesting assortment of 19th Century vintage rifles, 1930s German small arms and a limited amount of more modern Soviet weaponry, although there were rumours of West German G3 battle rifles being shipped to San Centrino in 1977. Their final commander was Col. Maria-Terèsa Alvarèz. #comicart #nemisisthesunofmay #fictionalhistory https://www.instagram.com/p/CRG7gE7sh9-/?utm_medium=tumblr

A glimpse at some stuff I’ve been cooking up over the last three days, along with a delightful little monoprint created two weeks ago at @theartfactorysupportedstudio !!! In news, I am delighted to announce that #nemisisthejadedmillennium has been fully recorded and edited, pending release on #2aaa (fingers crossed 🤞). Now all that needs doing are some interviews with the media and organising a wild launch party! (My favourite part!) In other news, I am equally delighted to announce that I have already started writing up drafts for Season 2 of #nemisistheradioseries under the title of NEMISIS: THE SUN OF MAY! I have completed episodes 7 & 8 and am now working on 9. These pictures of #gwenhunt, #nemisisomen, #javierramonenko & #cezarrodriguez are also intended to be combined to form a bigger poster for #nemisisthesunofmay.

Another artwork, this one a flag I created some time ago. As usual, here’s a little story behind it! This one’s very dark, kiddies... The Tunguska Kahnate was an unrecognised state that existed in Siberia, within the confines of the Soviet Union, between 1988 & 1995. A Separatist State in its essentials, her government, really an oligarchy of scientists, bureaucrats and soldiers, is seated in the futuristic hero city of Meytrograd, home to the first facilities in the world that created the modern humanoid fighting androids known to many as Avtomats. The de jure Head of State, as proclaimed in the Kahnate’s dangerously contentious 1987 Declaration of Independence, is Crown Tsarina Edelweiß, however as the Salic Law implemented in Russia’s Tsarist times was never officially abolished, until the Tsarina can find a suitable groom to take the throne as Tsar, the de facto Head of State is Lord Protector Ivan Vladimirovich Romanov. The Kahnate’s armed forces and unskilled industrial workforce are entirely made up of Avtomat drones, incapable of sentient thought, essentially bringing a return to serfdom in Siberia. A majority of these brainless Avtomats were created from hundreds of thousands of human ‘templates’, most of which were German civilians captured after the fall of Germany in 1945 and subjected to mass conversion. Ethnic Russians and the more Asiatic of peoples within the Soviet Union are held by the Kahnate’s ideology to be the most racially pure, with other Slavic peoples to be lower in class and those of both Jewish and of Germanic ancestry held to be ultimately inferior, leading to many violent incidents over the decades after the war causing mass revulsion in the Western World. The Avtomats, including those that are sentient, fare little better, being seen as only befitting their original purpose as a functioning ‘Slave Class’. They are frequently put into dangerous lines of work with little to no compensation. #nemisisuniverse #tunguskakahnate #fictionalflag #fictionalcountry #dystopia #marshalromanov #nemisisedelweiß #totalitarianregime #socialdarwinism #metropolis #fritzlang #scifi #nemisistheradioseries #avtomatnemisis #avtomat #robots https://www.instagram.com/p/CPDH1SQn6CX/?utm_medium=tumblr

After a long, radio-drama related hiatus, here’s another artwork! Standing at a whopping 9ft tall, NEMISIS Edelweiß, codenamed Subjekt OTMA-3 by the KGB, was the de jure Head of State of the internationally-unrecognised Eurasian separatist state known as the Tunguska Kahnate. Her KGB codename suggests many possible theories surrounding her mysterious origins. The most widely accepted of such theories is that Edelweiß is the third attempt to create an ideal Avtomat ruler, utilising the carefully preserved neurological processes of all four of the Russian Princesses executed by the Bolsheviks in 1918. Although this third experiment was to some extent successful, the sheer trauma of both this and previous similar experiments carried by Dr. Julius Eithelberg caused a peculiar knock-on effect on the subject’s psyche, in particular fragmenting it into four separate entities, each claiming to be one of the Romanov princesses. The only time Edelweiß ever saw combat was during the Great Patriotic War, where she struck fear into her enemies’ hearts with an experimental trident that also saw use as an anti-tank gun. What Marshal I.V. Romanov intends to do by resurrecting the ideological enemy of the Soviet Union is unclear, but it is certain that world peace is still nonetheless threatened. #nemisisuniverse #nemisisedelweiß #romanovdynasty #russianprincesses #otma #tunguskakahnate #avtomat #android #princess #headofstate #alternateuniverse #scifi #portrait #digitalportrait #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitaldrawing #graphicart #graphicdesign #graphicillustration #comicart #nemisistheradioseries #radiodramarevival #radiodrama https://www.instagram.com/p/CPAkNeiHc8g/?utm_medium=tumblr

An unknown war artist's sketch of one of Marshal Romanov's countless Centaur-like Cossack Avtomat Cavalry units, one of OKB-H's most fearsome and effective units. These highly secret Cossacks, stationed in Meytrograd with the highest honour of being Marshal Romanov’s Imperial Guard, charged with defending the Crown Empress Edelweiß and all her possessions both at home and further afield. They particularly served with distinction during the Counter-Revolutionary Regency Period in the aftermath of General Secretary Brezhnev’s death, where a Junta formed by Brezhnev’s cronies was ultimately defeated by a united coalition led by both Marshal Romanov with OKB-H and KGB Chief Yuri Andropov with the KGB, thereby establishing Andropov’s rule over the USSR and granting Romanov further influence. The great woolly cap typical of all Cossacks serves a unique purpose on these units. They protect an otherwise uncovered advanced E.R.I.K.O. 5 Class Electronic Humint/Sigint Battle Data Recording System, an extremely advanced form of hardware unique only to the Soviets and as integral to the operations of an Avtomat as the human brain, except it also has infinite memory storage depending on the type of unit and the total reliability of a black box recorder, to which it serves a similar function. Before you ask, that is not the Flag used by the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War, but rather a variation of the traditional Russian Naval Jack. Another testament to Romanov's Tsarist leanings. #nemisis #avtomat #centaur #cossack #cavalry #imperialrussianarmy #russianempire #spear #flagpole #shashka #russiannavaljack #romanov #edelweiß #nemisisedelweiß #marshalromanov #godsavethetsar #tunguskakhanate #digitaldrawing #digitalillustration #digitalart #characterart #characterdesign #comicart #graphicart #graphicdesign #meytrograd #tunguskakhanate #alternatehistory #ussr https://www.instagram.com/p/CLT-I-EnMz2/?igshid=upqi2mu0qw3y

After a very long wait... It pleases me greatly to officially announce the new and improved OKHRANA STUDIOS’ first project; NEMISIS: THE JADED MILLENNIUM, a dynamic kick-charge action-packed six-part radio drama set to be produced entirely in Wagga Wagga! Set in a turbulent 1980s Hong Kong, a series of ghastly murders of local British and Chinese officials conspire to bring the lives of a beautiful but by-the-book police constable and a mysterious teenaged Rhodesian mercenary on a collision course as they reluctantly work together to bring the masterminds of this fiendish plot to justice. Based on the hit original 1980s multimedia franchise by the previous incarnation of OKHRANA STUDIOS, this reboot will feature a dynamic cast of local actors, carefully researched and written plots, and painstakingly designed vibrant soundscapes, taking you on a wild journey to the very last bastion of the British Empire. -DEPLOYING 2021- #nemisis #nemisistheradioseries #nemisisthejadedmillennium #thejadedmillennium #radiodrama #radiodramarevival #welcomebacktothe80s #britishhongkong #okhranastudios #madeinaustralia #madeinwaggawagga #madeinwagga #bigannouncement https://www.instagram.com/p/CKnxhvEHdVn/?igshid=jktt4df8hqpv

After a lengthy holiday, here’s some experiments I’ve been working on! Both are based off of characters created by Hugo Pratt, and have been first pencilled in HB, followed by inking with a 0.8 inch tip followed by the use of watercolours with a water-filled brush pen. Result. #watercolourillustration #watercolourart #watercolour #comicart #cortomaltese #hugopratt #hugoprattecortomaltese #graphicdesign #somethingotherthannemisis https://www.instagram.com/p/CKfmauNntou/?igshid=ayu0x7paawyz

After a lengthy hiatus (the official cause is a combination of stress, depression and experimentation with new art styles and equipment), I bring you another pic of Gwen, this time more action-packed in that she is brandishing a Heckler & Kock Mp5 SMG. ————————————————— This Promotional Pin-Up is dated to 1986, from Japan. It was created to be packed in with VHS copies of the extremely rare Japanese-exclusive anime adaptation of ‘The Jaded Millennium’, which was only ever released in Japan, marking Omen’s first adventure in animated format. Animated by Osaka-based company STUDIO-ATOMIC, founded in 1969 by former students of the great Osamu Tezuka (and named in honour of his most famous creation), the 90-minute feature, split in two parts, known as OVAs (Original Video Animation), was known to boast high quality visuals and fluid movement. Due to poor sales, combined with its production company going bust in 1989, the feature has never been rereleased, nor dubbed into English, except for a hilariously bad dub for South-East Asian markets, which were ironically dubbed in Hong Kong. Copies of the film are known to fetch high prices online, one unopened example from a recently deceased otaku’s collection fetching as high as $700 USD at auction on e-grove.com in 2019. #gwenhunt #nemisisuniverse #80sanime #80sanimeaesthetic #thejadedmillennium #vhs #vhsforever #suboverdub #suboverdubeveryday #qualityanimation #farrahfawcett #rhkpf #hkmp5 #beautifulanimegirl https://www.instagram.com/p/CInd8AlnqYl/?igshid=1eqez698fdegf

A 1965 Poster for Palmwood's, a Florida-based Tobacco company with products aimed primarily at women. This was a tie-in with the then-popular neo-noir primetime television series Phantom P.I., featuring regular characters Dunbar B. Payne (played by Barbie Pelladorno - 1924-1986) and Alannah Baster (played by Natalie Riverwood - 1937-1974). During the 1970s, with the demise of Phantom P.I. and the aftermath of the Free Love Movement, Palmwood's decided to capitalize on this by launching a revolutionary but deeply controversial advertising campaign featuring lesbian bikers. It did not last long, fading away by the early 1980s. Palmwood's, after several other failed business ventures, ultimately filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in the winter of 1986. #phantompi #phantompayne #alannahbaster #palmwoodtobacco #vintageokhrana #fictionalcharacters #fictionalcompany #fictionalcompanylogo #cigaretteposter #vintageposter #neonoir #graphicart #graphicdesign #digitaldrawing #digitaldesign #popularart #popart #vintagetelevision #1960sfashion #1960sstyle #1960sart #1960sadvertising #vintageadvertising #vintagesigns #smokingkills https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwkxCaHjbk/?igshid=15rspfftmhc7j
