One of the reasons you haven't seen much new stuff from me is cause I'm trying to raise my art skillz to a level of "Competent" I've been pushing out the same ol' crap for too long, I must improve!! :)
In anycase, this is my Snowblind fighting off the forces of evil and rape. The background and debris took longer than the characters and all inked with a .01 pigma. Bleah, took too long.
It's purpose is to grace the pages of the "Mhar Fantasy RPG" which you can check out over here: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=21521&

Mhar - isn't that the planet Dela The Hooda is supposed to come from?
anywho - you art skill level? Competent? Dude, for the last six years I've thought you to be one of the best artists I've ever known, no really - I'm sorry, but at your level I just dont see any more room for improvement
MBR = perfection, both in style, anatomy, detail and coloring. Nothing out there beats the stuff you make.

Yep, it is indeed. Before "Dela", Greg (the writer on the comic) had it as his D&D universe and wrote a number of short fiction stories and gaming articles in various APAs and publications and over the last decade it morphed a game system. Dela's period comes 900 years after the time of the game setting.
What makes amazing artists (like Max) get so amazing is that they're never content with being good enough. If you think this is the best he could ever possibly do, you probably shouldn't follow his art anymore because it might make your head explode in a year or two with it's sheer awesomeness.
Don't get me wrong; the picture is fantastic! But there isn't, nor has there ever been an artist on Earth who couldn't improve any longer. I doubt many artists would be happy to reach such a ceiling anyway.

thats true - the moment you stop trying to improve yourself then you're in trouble...
but what I meant was that when you reach the level of skill that I believe MBR has reached, then the rate of improvement slows to a point where you can still try to improve, but it just doesn't show very much anymore...

It's good that you don't rest on your laurels, but you're well above 'Competent' by now!
Either way, nice work - so your Warcraft gal's moving on to mascot a new world? :)
Otherwise, I agree, that's a great sword, and I notice she smartly has it chained to her wrist to prevent her from being disarmed... well er... unless this enemy literally disarms her.

I saw that too...and the palm of her sword hand appears to lie a little too flat against the side of the grip facing away from the viewer. There should be a touch more mass to the outer edge of the palm there.
These are details you only tend to catch if you have time to put the pic down long enough to put it out of your mind and look at it later, as if someone else had drawn it.
It's also the kind of thing I'd only point out if I know the artist is still striving for improvement (although I think MBR is good enough to have spotted those two details on his own....right, Max? :D ).

It's pretty cool MBR, brilliant work on the details of their features. I think its about time you also change your style of inking as well to grant an even better improvement to your skill. Or you try veering away from inking in general and just work more with light & shadow effects in contrast to other colors.
max, I really enjoyed all the details you worked so long on in this one. The cut on her thigh, with it's trickle of blood, all the little additions on her belt, the rock debris, the tatters on her cape. The grounding/retainer chain from teh sword to her wrist. An excellent eye for it.
