Description Nameless (a.k.a. No Name), son of Aghora, is the last of a dynasty of perfect warriors known as the Metabarons.
Every Metabaron is handicapped by his father so that his endurance to pain is tested. He receives a powerful mechanical body part as a replacement for the destroyed limb, making every Metabaron a cyborg (in Nameless is the right ear and part of the brain).
In each generation, the son and heir must eventually face his father in a battle to the death. These battles have taken many forms, from hand-to-hand combat to dogfighting space duels. The rite of succession is only achieved once the cursed son succeeds in killing his father.
Bushitaka is the strict code of honor followed by the Metabarons (profoundly influenced by the Japanese Bushido). It demands that the practitioner dedicate themselves to victory in all things at any cost. Compromise is never an option, and the only alternative to victory is death. Bushitaka demands that the practitioner stifle all emotion, even to the point of sacrificing their own family members in the pursuit of total victory.
Each Metabaron draws upon an array of advanced weaponry known as the Metabaronic Weapons. These also includes cybernetically-implanted lasers, nanotech nuclear warheads implanted in the body, swords which can disintegrate in bursts of flame, and advanced spaceships.
Many of the Metabarons also exhibit powerful psychic abilities.

hey Katase, this one looks neat, I've been watching you for some time now. How do you work these pieces? Are they a mix of traditional pencil drawing + digital painting + photomanipulation??

BTW you shouldn't upload the high resolution images, in case you don't want your work to be easily stolen and printed anywhere

Hola Diego!!!
Esta imagen y la de mi galeria de peliculas de los 80s basicamente es una mezcla detecnicas y unidas todas en photoshop...
- Primero busco fotos en varios angulos del rostro en internet y sobre eso hago un trazo a lapiz con algo de sombreado.
- Trazo el cuerpo aparte a lapiz con sombreado y busco fotos con las texturas que necesito, por ejemplo: tela, patrones, metal, piel, etc. para usarlos como referencia.
- Dependiendo del caso, a veces aplico algo de marcador en tonos pastel muy claros.
- Escaneo todo y hago la composicion basica de la imagen. Aplico loc colores basicos, y despues los detalles de sombreado y tonos de color en Photoshop.
- En diferentes Layers aplico efectos, a veces con diferentes pinceles o con fotos de referncia de materiales.
- Busco imagenes para el background y a veces aplico algunos de los filtros de Photoshop o de Corel Painter.
- Los efectos de humo y furgo los trazo en diferentes layers con pinceles para humo y particulas en Photoshop.

Para las naves que tengo en las galerias uso Google SketchUp para hacer los modelos en 3D, (si gustas puedes checar los modelos que tengo en Google 3D Warehouse a mi nombre)...
Rendereo con V-Ray, IDX o Kerkithea dependiendo de la idea que tengo en mente...
Todo lo demas, como efectos de luz, fondos y detalles los hago en Photoshop.

Espero que te haya contestado tus dudas, y gracias por el consejo, no son imagenes de alta resolucion (basicamente porque se tardan mucho en subirse) pero tienes razon acerca de que la gente ni avisa para usar imagenes, Hace tiempo alguien me envio una pagina de las Avenger y estaban usando el Gilgamesh y otros modelos en unas imagenes con WonderMan... pero como las subi al Warehouse, cualqiera puede descargarlas...<

Muchos Saludos!!!!
