This is a character I actually play on the mud, named Erik, whose nickname is 'The Hammer' and so I found myself trying to appease the most difficult critic: Myself. This guy was supposed to be older, broader, with more experience on him than previous drawings. I did a few versions I wasn't completely satisfied with, so I just figured I was using the wrong models. I found the perfect one for the face, and for the body structure, WWF's Taz. Just made him hairier, a little older, and dressed in armor. The face is Taz's, though the body kind of just grew around him. Still, I was rather pleased with the result... ** UPDATE ** I finally got up the courage to mess with this picture, adjusting the seams of the armor to line up more accurately with the center of his chest. I used a little graphite legerdemain and some blurring to cover up the unerasable lines. Here it is.

This is my favorite, my absolute favorite. You should post the story here that is on the MUD website. I love all your work, but this one, this one is special. The story adds so much to your images, Ben. You're an incredible artist, writer and roleplayer, so display some of your writing talent here and put up Erik's story.
