This picture and the following text describes the gladiator Anon, whom fights both orcs, humans and other mosters in the arenas around the kingdom of Kebala. 

"Fate can change your life in a flash. It just throws everything around in the blink of an eye and leaves you standing there with no where to turn. I thought it would get better, but it won't. It still hurts. One minute you have a normal life, a beautiful home and a loving wife that gives birth to your first child... then the world twists and everything changes in a heartbeat. I miss her you know, I miss having Trista by my side. I miss her soft voice and gentle smile. She was the spark in my life and now that spark is gone, forever lost in darkness and I'm left with a daughter that I don't even know how to raise. It's not that I don't love Dyssa, but she doesn't understand, not yet. No matter what I do, my world will never be the same again. That's life for you... that's my life and I don't want it. I suppose the arenas will eventually take the pain away. It's the only reason I go there, to find salvation, but for some reason they cannot touch me."

Aww...Shes so adorable..Its a very good pic with emotion..And she does look as if shes gonna grow up to be a warrior like daddy..I love it and i would love to draw this well..

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "Glad you liked her Cassie! It's not everyday I draw children so I'm still new to the whole concept, but she turned out alright. Of course she wants to become a gladiator when she grows up. Like father like...daughter. Thanks! "

Awwwwww so, so sad. The little girl is soooooooo cute I just want to give her a big hug.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "I'm sure she wouldn't mind getting a hug or two and yes, it is a bit sad isn't it... "

I gotta say that he looks very very sexy! I like but the girl seems really really short compared to him.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "She's not standing directly beside her father and that could perhaps explain a few inches, but yes, she might be a little short too. "

Ah-ha!! *victory dance* I finally found what I was looking for in this lovely anatomy-ridden (and I mean that in a very positive way) gallery - a hot young man! Thank you! Sorry, as entertaining as your perfect women are, a pretty male now and then is really nice and refreshing for us female audience members. And when I'm done staring I shall move on to see the rest of your work . . . great job by the way ^_^

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "There are only a few men in my galleries (perhaps too few) but hey, what can I say... I'm a guy. Thanks Kitty! "

Oh, and he's an arena fighter too . . . sexy . . .

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "Of course he is, I had to make him the ideal man since I don't draw a lot of them. A hansom gladiator who takes care of his child, what could possibly be better? "

Why does he only have armor on his feet, that's funny! lol Just kidding!
You're getting sentimental...that's not good. What will you serve us next time? A picture of funerals? Maybe his...fighting with armor only on his feet....
The fact that he uses a scythe is pretty symbolic, not efficient, but symbolic.

Nice!

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "The lack of armour is perhaps Anons way to show that he doesn't care what the outcome of his fights will be. I guess his feet don't agree with him though... kidding you back! Rest assured that there will be no funerals (or at least I never thought of one before now). Thanks for the comment Jean-Philippe! "

Reminds of the videogame fable:
When u start off as a innocent child and become a mighty hero.

:-) Nicklas Lundqvist replies: "I've heard (and read) about the mentioned game, but unfortunately I've never hade the chance to play it. Sounds cool though. "
