Description Having narrowly avoided being wasted by a small army of hired goons, Raknore considered a wardrobe change might be in order before his next stealth mission.

Figure drawn in Painter from a reference shot taken of myself with my webcam (and no I am not that buff). Then the rest was done with good old Photoshop7.

Thanks a lot. 2 words about the background- custom brushes. I would seriously reconsider tackling a city scene without them.

Magnificent, especially the atmospheric perspective of the city in the background.

Dude, that has to be the most camp assassin I have ever seen! Reminds me of a Marvel superhero - bright colours, and completely out of place in the dirty, gritty looking city of the future...

Lovely work, as usual! It strikes me this could be a nice concept for a spoof superhero - more concerned with fashion than practicality, he just can't quite get his outfit right for where he is or what he wants to do!

Yeah that could be quite fun.
I suppose my version of the future has always been heavily influenced by early 2000AD comics- so thats what I blame for the kitsch 70's aesthetic.

good idea with the picture of yourself, good how you captured the shine as always, he looks pretty stealthy

..and thats it

Yeah I used to use my digital camera, which gave a better image. But i find the webcam is just so instant and convenient and the image quality is fine for just getting the proportions right- which is all I need it for.

But what he does not realize is that the ledge he is perched upon has been greased.

Thanks mate- I really should try and do more city scapes, but they scare me a bit.
