I remember coping this pose over and over again to try and be able to capture that dynamic action. You were always such an inspiration to my middling, artistic teenage self.

Always loved that design.

(I was never able to find/get the game over here, however. )

The character from the first ad that I ever saw for V&V! The drawing and character sheet in the ad hooked me so hard that there was no end to my begging for a ride to the game store to get myself a copy (Armadillo Games, NY.....much missed establishment). The costume and the special effect around the gun have always looked really cool to me.

This picture was one of my favorites from that era.

So iconic. I remember this well, from Dragon. You should reproduce this one too, Jeff!

This picture, more than nearly anything else, made me want to play a supers RPG back in the day.

I clipped those characters from various issues of Dragon and still have them with all my other V&V stuff.

(I think I may have every piece of V&V material that made it to publication)

Yeah, there were three: Kali, Shatterman, and this guy.

I loved this drawing. I remember thinking this was the coolest pose, and practiced my art trying to emulate this drawing in 8th grade study hall. The inking rocks also.
