It’s some time since I entered a pic in the horror genre. Sadly this one is not really fantasy. A liberator, a deliverer from minority oppression. yeh right!

Talk about ”...out of the frying pan and into the fire”

Tom Godfrey replied

Yeh fast and furious… my little voice of protest for the poor suffering nation I used to call home. thanks Shanina
Stewart Wood

Cool image. I like the way this looks.
Wizard

It’s sad . . . how many historic figures have gone from liberator to tyrant.
That aside . . . Excellent work Tom. You’ve portrayed this in a most appropriate light.
Tom Godfrey replied

Thanks Wizard. good observation – sad but true…”absolute power corrupts absolutely.” as they say.
Brian Towers

It ’s being suggested here that the ‘honourable’ title be withdrawn from Sir Robert. Wonder if they can remove his manhood as well as his knighthood. Odd how these people decry the west but take everyhting it has to offer. Keep up the good work Tom.
Tom Godfrey replied

Thanks Sir Brian, At least your title is well deserved :) Yup he is a bit like a crazy Monty Pythonish character… “Sir Robert the puffed up stupid tyrant” Agreed re – beat the west with one hand while you are taking with the other -crazy!
Heather Rivet...

Damn good work mate. The most horrific monsters are always us humans.
Tom Godfrey replied

Too true, unfortunately. Cheers Rob
David Stuart

Absolutely brilliant Tom..very powerful.
Tom Godfrey replied

thanks David. Maybe I’ll make him some place mats for his birthday :) Mind you, he is so twisted he would probably be flattered.
Jewd

What brilliant drawing Tom, full of the fury and passion of liberation…
Tom Godfrey replied

Cheers Jewd -hopefully those poor people will be liberated soon.
Firedrake

Fantastic! He has an interesting face for portraiture, perhaps that’s his only good point!
Tom Godfrey replied

:) perhaps that is his only redeeming feature.

Tom Godfrey replied

thanks mariaan
bubbleblue

very well done
Tom Godfrey replied

Thanks bubbleblue. Sad to think he is still there, killing what is left of a once great African country.. shame on the world.
TheBlindHog

An amazingly powerful image. Thanks for sharing this.
Tom Godfrey replied

Thanks TheBlindhog. It’s a pity that he still hangs onto power and millions of innocents suffer. Zimbabwe, the once shining gem of Africa, now wallows amongst the poorest and saddest. This image is a small attempt on my part, to help spread an awareness and maybe provoke some action.
Paul Davey

Pamberi neZimbabwe, pasi naMugabe, killer of women, children and the weak; liberator of no one.

An exceptional glimpse at the essence of this evil bastard.
Tom Godfrey replied

Thanks Paul. Good fair comment thanks :)
Fran Webster
