Lok Gime (Lo'Gi) The Mighty stood before his massive army and faced the doomed defenders of East Keep. The fell war-lord held his trophy, the powerful sword 'Fiend Slayer', in his hands and brandished it so all defenders could see. Though what remained of the magic swords runes were greatly diminished when he smashed it and slew the hero that had once held it, it still caused him great pain to hold it so. He could sense it's intense hatred for his kind as it burned through his tough green skin. He endured it's hatred for a good cause...even now as he looked upon his enemy he could see there once defiant shoulders slump forward...there dignified faces now showed fear. Good. Behind him his army stood taller...there taunts even now grow louder and he will have to exert much will to control there battle lust. Today will be a good day to drink the blood of man he thought to himself.

Wow, even greater than the picture is the story behind it. It gives it so much more life... amazing.

:-) Allen R. Palmer replies: "Thanks...I like the story part of the creation as much as the pencil portion as well. "

His sword is broken.

:-) Allen R. Palmer replies: "no.....well I guess it's his now...but it was a human heros sword that he beat down....its in the story. "

Finally! The bad guy wins for once...yay. Very nice detail. He looks kind a samurai-ish. I like it. Congrats on mod's choice!

:-) Allen R. Palmer replies: "Lol....I assure you it's a fleeting feeling of victory....soon afterwards Grom appears on the wall and challenges old big geen and ugly hear to a fight"

If only I had talent and a longer attention span!LOL I love it.

:-) Allen R. Palmer replies: "you would be surprised how much the attention span portion effects the apparent talent portion of it....must be patient"

Whooa.....*jaw drops* Nice pic! I know I've asked this plenty of times before...but...where do you get the patience for that?!?! How long does something like this take you? *stares some more* Congrats on Mod's Choice and such! Looks soooo good!

:-) Allen R. Palmer replies: "lol....well....I can be fairly obstinate....and some what of a perfectionist....not that I create perfect things....far from it....just that I don't stop until I get it just the way I want it. It helps to be working on several projects at once so you dont get burnt out. Thanks....by the way..the color version is in the queue as we speak"

I'm a perfectionist too, but I still can't draw that good.

:-) Allen R. Palmer replies: "maybe so....but at least you will keep trying"
