Alright for those of you hated the first one...well I took everything into account and the picture kind of just turned into the background for a page I was working on. Better?

Not that I bended to critism!!!...I just wanted more of my artwork up front on it. The first picture could surface someplace else though...you never know..MUHAHAHA.

This page is for my comic...the main character has just shot his attacker and has committed his 52nd kill..hence the cards ( 52 cards in a deck ). Narration for the page coming soon.

keep it up man.. I really dig your stuff. Dont be afraid to draw out junk on paper, scan it and mess it up too. Maybe you do that already. You can probably get soem really gritty stuff that way. If ya do this already.. MO POWER !.

i fear for my mortal soul looking at such things

the head could use a little more detailing or attention to the wound, as it doesn't seem real (I know it should be exaggerated, but it doesn't seem REAL) and the card backings don't look like they're on any particular material, they just look like computer patterns to me, the wear and tear + prescence of an underlying material would help. hope I'm not too harsh, my crits are tough on you because you produce such high quality work

Outstanding! I really like how you work with photography, something I love to do as well.
I like that background as a background, it did work for the cover, but it was a bit too cluttered and confusing. Works a lot better that way.
This comic looks like it's going to be really entertaining to the eyes.

Very cool art. I don't know if people will pick up on the 52 card thing though. I like you method of shading and the unique way you apply colors. Your style sort of reminds me of the Dark Horse artist, David Lloyd. (aliens: class corridor, other stuff...)

Sorry for the harsh response to the last version. I still stand by my oppinion though, I know a family who had a similar misfortune occur to their unborn child and I know that anyone with that kind of experience would really be offended by a collage of diformed infants. I still say that you should just do away with those kinds of images completely.

anyway, great work. ...Now you must excuse me while I entertain myself with the latest posts concerning stneil777.

LOL, Thanks you guys. I am happy you are digging on it better than the first. I guess I am on the right track.

Vesuvius: you were right. I went in there and added a ton of little detail inside the wound and outside. It really added to it. As far as detail on the card...you were right yet again. Very good eyes. I didn't add any texture to it but I did add a highlight onto it.

I also updated the picture to now include Narrration! whoohoo. Hope you all still like it just as much...or maybe even alittle more.

Just fabilous. Dig your style. One thing,
the hero could be dressed better to suit
it's attitude!!!

On the other hand: You're on a good way to become a imagemanipulationmasterwithsickideas.
