Blast Radius

OOooh! I'm so glad you commented on this because I love love LOVE this idea, but I think canon may already cancel this out (but that's also ok because I love running through funny concepts in general).

I used to think about if Clea could do this too.. because her origins are just about as unique as Doyle's.. but we've seen what she looks like when she gets mad. She reacts just like any other alien creature that can shapeshift or who have powers that are hard to control:

for example, those powers just come right out in a fit of rage. It's a physical change that can turn her human form back into her Faltine form. I think I remember seeing some scenes like this during her Strange (2022) series.

I was also going to suggest to myself to look through some age old comics and see what Dormammu and Umar got up to, but canon can change, especially now that they're showing ways Doyle can emote this expressively. Maybe in a future Dr. Strange series we can see these changes reflect on other Faltines.

In general, I think I like both the ideas that ALL Faltines can do what Doyle can, and the idea that it's unique to just Doyle.

I was recently hired by Pepper Coyote to create wraparound cover album art and do design work (layout and text) for his latest album, Blast Radius: New Game+! The above artwork was formatted for CD & 12″ vinyl with an adaptation made for cassette J-cards and an entirely separate, old-school design for 7″ LPs. This project was a doozy to work on, but I think the result really reflects the campy sounds of the wasteland featured on the album itself. I snuck a bunch of little references into the artwork which can be more easily picked out in the text-free version I’m showing off here.
