All my post are PH fanart exhibit #
 
Giant fuck-off description incoming
 
My interpretation of the Reapers  
The stories little band of populace enslaving, child murdering, cyborg mutant rapist psychopaths who are also….. football enthusiast? Ok sure. (I know it’s called hoofball in horseland but I’m going to say football).
 
Either way I like them cause they remind me of the splatterfilm hellbilly clans from the horror films like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hills Have Eyes, Wrong Turn, and also video games like Resident Evil 7. You get the idea
 
Although the inspiration for this pic was mainly Rob Zombies Firefly trilogy

Yeah I replicated the poster art as best I could manage
 
In fact I listened to a Rob Zombie playlist while drawing most of this thing, can you tell? Wanted to make a movie poster out of this in an homage to Devil’s Rejects but my paint program’s resolution wouldn’t go high enough to where I would be able to fit the title in so I scrapped the idea. What would the title have been if I succeeded? ‘4 From Hell’ (reference to the third movie in the trilogy ‘3 From Hell’) would’ve been my go to one unless I came up with something better.
 
Anyway here’s what I did to all of them
 
Gorgon:  
This is the character I changed the most from the original. Being a freak science experiment I wanted to make him look more ‘mutant-y’. Did so by giving him deformed teeth growing out of his mouth on the left side of his face here. The idea being the mutations from the experiments made his teeth grow out so much that they can’t fit in his mouth and also distorts his face a bit like a scaly Jonah Hex. I also gave him the air force jacket, with it being the one he wore back when he was a soldier working with the Macintosh Marauders, I guess he decided to keep it. His facial expression here is both angry and scared so that it’s hard to tell what he’s feeling at the moment, I mean it’s not like he can verbally communicate how he feels. (it could also be unintentionally symbolic if you see it that way). He’s also covered in battle scars because why not. That giant cash on the right side of his neck is supposed to be the throat wound he sustained that made him permanently mute.
 
Rampage:  
Didn’t do much with her, wanted to make the stripes more visible but I already drew a pic of her where they weren’t so I just stuck with the design. Nothing changes here
 
Deus:  
Obviously I made him resemble very closely to the T-800 from Terminator, grinning skull motif and all, because that’s the vibe I feel most people get from him. Usually Deus is drawn to have a bit of his old body visible to show you that he’s a cyborg, however from a combat perspective, I think that would be a bad idea. I lobbed on a huge front facing armor plates so that he’s completely protected when facing an enemy. From the side you will be able to see his real body but it can’t be seen here. (Might draw a side profile of Deuce like I did Rampage to show this). So yeah, don’t got much more to say about this.  
Actually I do.  
Cunt
 
Psychoshy:  
The only thing here difference here is that I gave her a biker jacket, because I like biker girls and this nuclear wasteland needs more Mad Max homages. Also she has black paint under her eyes to compliment the Reaper’s football roots. (football players and soldiers paint black bars under there eyes to reduce glare from sweating on the cheeks)
 
So yeah, that’s about it here, I’ll do the bloody edit next

I know the answer to the “why would the reapers be ok with submitting to a leader”. It’s because Bid Daddy has something they all want. Deus for instance needs a constant supply of painkillers cause the machinery he has causes him pain without it (very similar to Bane from the Batman comics). Can’t say what the others want from him cause that would be spoiler territory.
 
As for the second question why they would have fans. I can think of 2 explanations.  
1). They’re serial killer groupies. Real life killers like Charles Manson or Harris/Klebold have an actual fanbase (don’t ask why, cause I don’t know). So it wouldn’t be that unrealistic that the Reapers would also.
 
2). It’s the end of the world and all societies norms have corroded to the point where savages become celebrities. Welcome to the apocalypse, leave your humanity (or ponanity) at the door.

Never understood the Reapers. Their members consist of Raiders from other gangs as well as people with a knack for killing others (like Rampage) who had to prove that they are Reaper material by killing other Reapers. Yet once they became Reapers we are supposed to believe that all these violent ponies stop doing Raider stuff like raping and looting. Sure, Big Daddy’s plan was to keep the worst elements of the region in check, but why exactly would said worst elements of the region be okay with this? And why would they have fans among the Non-Raider population of the region? More violent psychopaths is the last thing the ponies in Hoofing should want.
 
No offense Rampage.
 
Please don’t murder me.
