My second commission ever, this was an image I did for Palladium, for the RIFTS Collectible Card Game. Unfortunately in typical Sembieda fashion I wasn't paid for it.  (he has a tendency to screw over his artists and writers) Yes, I am bitter about it since it was $250.00 that I never saw.  Considering I did two works for them at once, thats a total of $500.00 that I was taken for.

I've been chastised (by people on the internets, so lawl) that I need to get over it. But half a grand isn't exactly something I will let slip by. Ever.  Basically I'll get over it when I'm paid. Nuff said.

 

Just a PSA, you better make sure you're paid up front when you work with Palladium or they WILL take blatant advantage of you.  I'm leaving this image up here, and considering removing the © from it since they did in fact fail to uphold their end of the deal.

Hey. This is a good thing, getting hired to do a card for someone prestigious like RIFTS. Not to mention the picture is really good.

All I got to say after the fact is boy ... whoever is looking up at this situation, I hope they roll a 20 2

I think it's good work, Casey. I have a problem with the angle of the axe, though. It looks like he's getting ready to flat-blade his opponent, as if he's doing fight practice rather than battle. If that's the case, then he's not that mean after all. Just really, really ugly. Which is okay. I mean, I'd rather believe that this guy is just really ugly than believe that he's so stupid as to not hold his axe properly when swinging it. Ah, now the other option is that he's actually not raising the axe for a straight downward stroke, but rather is on the upward side of a circular, clockwise swing. I'm not sure why he would be swinging his axe like that... maybe he's cutting veggies in front of the cooking fire, perhaps... but if that is the case then he's just an ugly cook and not a dumb warrior after all. In which case somebody ought to tell him that his technique, while impressive, isn't very efficient. The best method to use when slicing celery is small, short chopping motions, not huge sweeping circles with a great axe.

Have a great day, Casey. :-Þ

Lucky you, getting a comission for such a huge name. 10 This one's cool indeed. I love dramatic lighting.

An ad derived from the pic. Imagine an announcer saying this. "Wait! Before you go out for you nightly rendezvous of slaughtering the weak and innocent, make sure you are wearing deodorant. And nothing says,"I'm a sword slashing, head decapitating monster," like Sheer Chaos for Demons. It's the only under arm deodorant that won't let you down. Your either Sheer or your not.
