Urban entertainment & comic artist.BIO Since I was a child I was always fascinated by comic books. In grade school I never paid attention to in class, usually in my own world sketching out superhero's in my notebooks. In the mid 80's my interest in hip-hop music grew, I got heavily into graffitti art. After a few close calls with the police I strayed from my artwork. During the 8th grade recording demo's, producing beats and writing lyrics started to take over my life. Forming a underground hip-hop group the "Demigodz" in the early 90's became a major move for my future. Now I was starting to get involved in digital artwork, creating demo covers, logos, silkscreen designs to promote my crew. In the late 90's I was hired by indie hip-hop label 'Bronx Science' and created over 75 album/12" vinyl jackets for them. Recently I have been doing freelance work for several indie hip-hop companies as well as teaching myself the basics of digital photography and 3d art. Now I'm married with two kids and my interest in comics/fantasy/sci fi art is being revitalized, recently purchasing a Wacom I can now get back into my lifelong passion of drawing.

The basic outlines of the muscles are from the 'James' base render that I made in Poser 6, I painted over them mostly with dodge and burn tools in CS2 on my costume layer to enhance the effect, I added more muscle tones to parts of the chest and arms as well. I couldn't morph the face how I wanted it to look in Poser (just starting to use Poser again, actually made this piece the first night I got it) so I just rendered the basic stock face and painted over it to change the facial features, the only thing that I didn't really change were the hands and the jawline/ear.... The Poser render was done in the nude, all clothing was painted as well as the cape.
