Description ...this is what happens when things go wrong!
I did this as a commission for a cover for a local role playing zine called "Rogues Gallery" some years ago.
Client wanted something with a fantasy theme to it and I came up with this , it seemed like a good idea and I was initially pleased with the result as was the client.
But in my never ending pusuit of detail and execution I overdid it a bit on this one, too many weapons, bad pose etc.. etc... and most notably and in my opinion unforgiveable an anotomicable no-no is present-it's on the human and concerns the pose...it's obvious once you spot it but I'll let you have the fun...see if you can spot it!
I use this as a reminder to myself that there are other options to approaching a subject and never rush yourself when doing a job.....

thanks Manda, but like most artists out there we are our own harshest critics and this one still bothers me, I was torn about posting it but I look on it as kind of therapeutic.
By the way, your sketch is nearly done but I have a question; I've seen the Maxx with a bald head and with what looks like feathers or hair...which do you prefer?
-thanks again

ah...the bald version is fine...that's him in "our" reality...the one with hair and feather's is another reality...you should read the comics...the are amazing.... sam keith is my hero.

I am so excited!! thank you so much!
