This actually took longer than I anticipated [primarily the postwork]..not so much the actual photoshop work but I had such great background images I spent a least 2 days playing around with filters/blending not to mention finding the exact right one to use {still not sure if this was the best of the bunch). I like how this came out but I wouldn't exactly label it my A+ work. And since I now delete all my scenes after renders..I won't re-visit this later.
Degree's your typical misguided naive villain who doesn't truly have criminal intentions buts just too dumb to realize she's being played for a fool. I had fun creating this character, in fact i waited until i purchased Daz's Eisidor hair just so i could create her flaming do. i've been experimenting in adding flame effects to images so it doesn't just look like the figure is covered with flame but instead afire.
Blade Base, Atlantic Ocean - Perhaps for the first time in his career, Carter Benson felt a twinge of apprehension before embarking on a mission. Although he and Copperhead were both employed by C.L.A.W. they were by no means friends or even teammates for that matter. Grenade had never seen Copperhead in action but knew full well of his deadly prowess and reputation. His night-vision goggles and familiarity with the sub-level corridors of Switchblade's Blade Base should give him an advantage...but he'll soon discover that just like his namesake..Peter M'Wambi is a coldblooded hunter.
Castle Necrom {graveyard}, Transylvania - Perhaps the first real mismatch of the Assassin Wars so far. The psychotic Buzzsaw thought he had pulled an easy play. Although he had never heard of Bloodbath, he had to laugh when he was told he was pitted against a real vampire. He was so sure of his success that even though he had choice of venue by having the most kills..he defered to his opponent. 20 hours later the airplane dropped him off in a remote graveyard deep in the heart of Romania..and Buzzsaw began to question his choice. He may really regret it once he finds out that Bloodbath's natural powers double in his homeland.
This was a pretty easy call for me. Nothing influenced me more to take up the mantle as would-be comic artist other than when I used to watch Flash and Kid Flash speeding across my black and white TV screen. So inspirational was the Flash in my life that the very first comic character I ever created...Mercury...was patterned after the Flash and sported a slightly altered design of Kid Flash. This makes me wish I still had those original mini-comics I made back in the day.

when i originally created this guy..i named him shinobi..as luck would have it an arcade game with the same name came out a year or so later. i thought "how cool is this?" obviously that was before i acquired an understanding of copyrights and lawsuits . needless to say, i changed his name.
An off subject image I did of my favorite female martial artists. Since she's a dance instructor and holds desires of performing as a Prima Ballerina I thought something from her personal life would be fitting.
