Description My depiction of a Rift -- a mystical tear in the space-time continuum -- based on concepts from Palladium Books.

Basically, humanity unleashed a nuclear holocaust upon the planet and the deaths of so many people reawakened ley lines that had been dormant for thousands of years. The life energy of all those killed surged through the ley lines with such intensity that it literally tore rifts (hence the name) in reality. The Rifts universe is set 300 years after the "Great Cataclysm" and humanity is still trying to gain a foothold in a world now populated with strange creatures and horrific demons. It is a world where the dessicated ruins and the twisted skeletons of ancient skyscrapers are all that remain of the great cities built during the "Golden Age of Man".

Well, I just finished my first attempt at modelling Chi-Town in 3DS. I'm not quite happy with it yet. The new style Deadboy armor is still on the drawing table, I've been too busy to give it my full attention. Outside of art, though, I'm debugging some character creation software that I hope to have done before the Palladium Open House.
And thank you for checking out my stuff
