Danger 5!
Late last year I did some art for a fantastic Aussie indie TV series called Danger 5. It's a weird 60's inspired WWII action spoof with Nazi dinosaurs, German/Japanese supersoldiers and other off the wall characters, incorporating the best of old spy movies and the worst of Italian cinema. I was approached to do some art for the DVD and posters and had a ball doing it.
Below is the art of the Danger 5 team, there's also some closeup detail shots and lastly some of the sketches and previous layout ideas. I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed producing them. And do yourself a favour, hop on Youtube and check out Danger 5. You won't regret it!

Did you paint that in watercolor?
Thanks everyone!
Jbyrd117- No, this was all painted in Photoshop.
Wow, you got to be involved with Danger 5? What a fun assignment. Love these illustrations.
Where can you buy this?
Thanks Michael.
Matt- The DVD is available at JB HiFi, but if you're referring to prints of the art, I know there were posters printed but I'm not sure if they're for sale to the general public yet. Best bet would be to contact the Danger 5 guys through Facebook.
Your ability and eye for design make me weep with jelousy.
I really need a danger 5 print of that.
was this trad-media or digital (ala gouache and a touch of coloured pencil on bond or illustration board?)
Mega Fantastic work.
Someone left an anonymous question which Blogger blocked but I'd thought I'd paste it here and answer it-
Q- "Was this trad-media or digital (ala gouache and a touch of coloured pencil on bond or illustration board?)
Mega Fantastic work."
A- This was 100% digital all painted in Photoshop using some default Photoshop texture brushes.
This is amazing stuff, Chris. An early fan of 'Danger 5' since the webisodes, and you've captured a 60s pulp style which suits the series perfectly. Are you up for private commissions?
