No Heroics: Background Artwork in Episode 5

And now, for what really will be the last No Heroics post (for the time being at least!), I wanted to show you the artwork I created as it appeared in Episode 5. In this penultimate episode, we see a flashback to Electroclash as a stroppy teenager, setting up the difficult relationship she has with her parents, Rampart and Velvet Veil, who are described as the 'Torville and Dean' of the superhero world. We then return to the present, and to the pub, the same piece appears on the cover of a vintage Issue of Pull-List, which is being held reverentially by Thunder Monkey.

And of course, any Spaced fans will be pleased to see that Velvet Veil and Rampart are played by Julia Deakin and Clive Russell, i.e. Marsha and Damian Knox. Result!
