I’m not really loving it either, definitely leaves a lot to be desired with lack of detail and lazy shading and linework.

now u see what i mean?

the windbars on the chest plate is sick. horiken is dope. well everyone at SOG is awesome…

matt will punish you all for jumping ship!!!

phil garcia or cecil porter. i have work from both and both have very reasonable rates. otherwise, so cal is the mecca for quality artists you shouldnt have any problems finding a good artist there.

Does this guy have his own website, myspace etc?

at conventions i sit for an avg of 7-8hrs, 9 being the longest sitting. if im at a shop, about 5hrs
