Montréal 2072
This is a serie based on 2012 Québec student protests but set in a cyberpunk 2072 Montréal. I like to use real life events as inspiration, so 3-4 years ago I started that small project.
I recreated some archetypal figures of the conflict. I suggest you read the wikipage for more information about the events ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Quebec_student_protests ) but basically it was all about that question : Should education and knowledge be free,universal and accessible or not ?
Justice agent for some, evil fascist for others. Police militarization at its best. Stay calm, citizens.
This is a member of the Rabbit Crew : http://boiterouge.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/rabbit-crew-20.jpg
The soldier of the resistance. Armed with a saucepan (they were used around the last weeks of the protests). Do you recognize the tuque ?
This is Anarchopanda. He was a well-know figure of the protests : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchopanda
The 2072 version is made of construction material since Montréal has far too much construction sites everywhere.
TVA is the most popular tv channel in Québec. They like sensasonalist presentation and they were mostly against the students.
Richard Martineau is a famous commentator here. He often contradicts himself and like to write in CAPSLOCK CAUSE IT LOOKS BETTER THAT WAY.
Matricule 728 is the most famous police officer in Québec. She was cartoonishly brutal and fast to attack. She we was so famous she even got a porn parody and eventually got kicked out of police.
The wolf was the symbol of the new protests in 2015.
Fondation 1625 was an organisation that promotes higher student fees and mostly wants to fight a juridic battle instead of a political one.
A police drone, best thing for crowd control. Free smoke and plastic bullets for all.
