Good pic and good poem bud ;)

Cool picture, and the poem was excellent. You two do good heroics, I think. :)

Looks like Jimmy Li. :)

Maybe it's Jimmy's great great great...great granddad. :)

Hmmm...

I can't even imagine how many illegitimate children he AND Rumh have scattered around Iberia, North Africa, Asia Minor, and perhaps even parts of Italy.

very nice action pose

What's always amazed me about this drawing is how much like Jimmy Lee he looks. Oh sure, the tattoos are in the wrong places, he's missing an eye and the mouserat's more of a shorts than a skirt person. Yet the build is about right, considering the foreshortening due to the pose, and most of your drawings only show Jimmy with that little topknot of bangs. What this drawing really shows, as well, is that even back then, your grasp of anatomy, perspective and detail were already seriously impressive.

I'm frankly amazed that there was no exploration of the look of the 11th century out there. There are studies, but they're buried in academia, I think. Someone had to consult on Kingdom of Heaven.I should probably look around the SCA sites. Those harmless historical nuts (Who wear boiler plate on their butts*) know everything. It's how I named Rumh, they had a list of common first and last names for the time period.

*Leslie Fish and her music are a bad influence on me.

Kingdom of Heaven? What's that?

Haven't seen it, but based on what I've heard, while the theatrical cut is a pretty mediocre movie, the extended edition / director's cut is a good one.

Another handsome piece, RooChak. :)

Hebrew tats? Interesting...

The tats, if I drew them correctly, spell out a line from the Tanakh: "...and the earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was full of violence..." Sacriligious, but Levi's a warrior. Don't underestimate the value of shock and awe.

I always thought they were just inked on. If they are tats, indeed, it is a sacriledge. But, the Rabbi still prayed over him, and he was buried in Jerusalem all the same. With full martyr's honors.

I remember when this was a WIP.

I like how it came out in the end. I can't remember if I had seen the final product before or not. Still, nice work.

"Watermelon ships of destiny"?! I like the sound of that.
