Description
Here's the third character for this month's ESPN RISE Magazine - Daniel Norris! This guy's arm will throw *friggin'* laser beams down any batter's throat! This was hugely inspired by TRON (and Cyclops) as it literally just hit the theaters when I was illustrating this! ESPN was totally cool with the inspiration (as they are affiliates w/ Disney) and encouraged it! My idea was that he would basically aim with his eyepiece and then launch the light-ball with extreme speed and precision.If you've got this in hand, HIGH FIVE! *three times*
Thank you once again to Fabian "Monk" Schlaga for the crazy digital collab, the man is SMOKIN'!
If you want to see how this, the cover (and others) turned out, you can check out some pics here! [link]

I love the rim lighting. It etches out his back muscles beautifully. Great stuff!

Will it be Iron Man themed? I was actually looking at my Iron Man fitted with him holding a football when I asked. LOL!!

The pose and anatomy is on point as always, great job.
Is there any chance of seeing these ESPN pics with just the pencils, not taking away the credit from the painter, but your art changes quite drastically when coloured at times. Still a great piece tho

There is no such thing as walking a man in this sport, cause if they hit you with the ball you blow up into a million pieces and I'm talking about small pieces, just millions and millions of kilobytes.

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought it was Spider-man 2099
Not to say that I was disappointed to find out it wasn't 83
Very nice pic, makes me wish I saw Tron
