Tag As FavoriteComment		I've wanted to illustrate Jack since reading the enigmatic introduction he got in 'Perdido Street Station'. Jack's something of an urban legend and a freedom fighter in New Crobuzon...and he's got an enormous mantis claw :)

EEEEEEEEEEEE it's Jack! No one does Mieville art around here, you're practically the only one and you do it so well. I love you. In a strictly figurative sense. I swear I'm not usually this retarded 10. All the little details are so great, like the little spirals, the stains on the cloak, the patched pants....
Anyways I'm going to go squee at some more of your drawings now.

I asume his name is Half-a-Prayer because you don't have half a prayer if you choose to fight him?

Very nicely done.

YES! I saw you had a picture named "Jack half-a-prayer" in your gallery, and I was saving myself up for it... and you didn't disappoint at all! WOW!

This is really close to how I imagined the character. Fantastic! You're a master of graphite, you really are... you've given me something more to aspire to!
