Art dedicated to the Heroes that walk in the world of fantasy, science fiction, and the comics. BIO Currently living in Albuquerque, NM with the option to move, but that's if the spirits of the state let me leave. I've left twice and was sucked right back. I've been a Gamemaster, artist, written for Hero Games, co-authored CyberHero for Hero Games, avid comic book reader/collector, avid science fiction and fantasy reader/watcher, inactive SCA member, historian, shepherd of dreams, and boundary breaker. I'm also the co-creator of the Hero game world of Champion City/Rising Star/Millenium/and the Southwest Avengers. All these worlds were created with the held of my good friends and games, and without them there would be no games or stories to tell. I've been into art since I was in grade school drawing pictures of Godzilla. I've taken classes throughout my K-12 years, and some continuing education classes. All to try to find a medium to express all those images that fill my mind. I've tried many different formats, but then I discovered 3D. The years of playing fantasy, science fiction, and hero games has filled my mind with a multitude of images. In part because of an overactive imagination and writer, both seem to be key elements for Gamemasters, I hope to place those images down on paper. I dedicate all my work to those who helped fertilize my overactive mind: Tim Eyring and Michi Wada, Rob and Anneliese Stehwien, Charlie Crawford, Lawrence Yao, all those who have entered my life path for a short time, and my good friend Don Blaylock (TalonGE) for pointing me toward the 3D, Poser, and electronic arts. I also dedicate this to my good friend the late Mike Wellbaum, who I'm sure is vying for immortality on some other plane of existence. His overactive imagination provided many hours of torment to this GM and others. May his spirit continue to create wherever he is wondering. Sadly, I must also add one more to the list of passing heroes, Tim Eyring one of my oldest friends also passed. He lost his battle with diabeties. He will be missed, and probably waiting someplace with Mike Wellbaum warming up their dice for another game of AD&D or Champions - or whatever game is popular at the time.

Must be frustrating not to get loads of viewers and comments, but 1- your thumbnail is very small and 2- it doesn't contain nude female parts or a suggestion of them;-) That being said, I can see nothing wrong with your image, in fact it's excellently executed! The character blends perfectly with the background. Looks like a scene from a real action movie...

This image is amazing! The background choice is perfect. Espcially with that nightscape :D OMG I love that look on his face XD The pose, outfits and swords work so well here too. Voted ;)

i must agree, the lighting is superb which blends him in seamlessly. i think this is wonderful Mc and the fact that you didn't think it's anything special makes me wonder what else you got in store for us ;) welcome back!!!

As said aleardy, props for getting the light to match the scene. That's no easy task. Great outfit too, and love the expression. The mists around the icy sword are a good touch. The only thing I see that needs work is the lettering. It's getting lost against the background of the city - a little bit of a dark outline might help bring it out, possibly coupled with a glow or a bit of black. The font works with the character, I wouldn't change that, just make it stand out more.
