Or, for a completely different take, behold the computer repairman. "Give me the blue screen of death , will you??"

Don't swing that axe /too/ far back! XD

Awesomeness, as usual! I love how you handle markers. Such nice blending and everything.

I just love how this moves--the hair, the curve of the breastplate--it just seems right--the weight is distributed properly and everything. Amazing-- Glad you're alive again. ^.^

I love the odd angle of this piece! I can almost see some goblin-ish type enemny just off the page that is about to be quite wickedly dispatched of. The layer of the breastplate and chestplates is interesting, as is the fact that his green tunic type garment is split. I can see how that would allow for better movement with that wicked looking axe! Great flow of energy!

Now, I'll have to say this is one of my favorites, most likely because it's the first one I saw, or, perhaps the fact that he's got biker boots on.

Yeah, it's the boots.

I know I'm probably leaving comments that are too much of a bother to read, but hey, I'll blabber on anyway, if only to reguvinate memories of what I did say beforehand to you when I first saw these.

My favorite parts are his boots, the leather apron, the way he looks like a blacksmith, and the way he stands out from the rest with his dark skin, burgundy red hair, and dreds. Go dredlocks. The pleated shorts give rise again, (And look fabulous on him, I might add) and the subtleties of his muscle structure really give the guy weight to him, like he doesn't really need that axe to pound you six feet under. I like the way he looks like he really is a blacksmith that's just picked up an axe for war, instead of a hammer, for armor, and the way that the green cltoh underneath his breastplate and the straps holding that article in place look padded, and rather thick, as if they actually serve a purpose. I especially like the patterning on his shorts, and I'm not entierly sure why, perhaps because it's a strongly defined design, isntead of the usual somewhat tooled faded look that's on alot of the other characters (Swirly leggings girl.)

The collared shirt? Adds that look of sophistication, ne?

thanks, darlin'! Yes, I was DEFINATELY going for a blacksmith-ish look with the apron. plus, I mean, who wants to get suck wicked clothes dirty with the splattering blood of your enemies? we were going for a modernish theme without being cliche ( I can't do an accent).
ugh, come over and draw! I just quit my job so I'm bored. I have a pin of yours BTW.

A pin of mine? WTF? LEt me guess, one of those snarky little damnable things that are like "Have a nice death!" And a "eat shit and die" smiley face one. Ehy?

You free tommorow? We should go get coffee and art it up.

I like how everything is done naturally... errr, like how the handle on the axe is knobby and crude - like something that was handmade. The clothes and everything feel rustic. Kudos, and I'm glad to see you're updating again

That's one nasty looking axe. And he has the arms and legs to do serious damage with it.
