SciFi and Fantasy Art Kabal by Chris M. Rubenstahl


	A former warrior, a samurai, who had dealings with demons and things from beyond the barrier... he has spent the last three hundred years regaining his soul piece by agonizing piece. The armor, especially the head, was inspired by one of the villains in the Urotsukidoji (Legend of the Overfiend) series.

17 Feb 1997	FiendOverMiami	Loading... Hmmm.. If my memory suits me, Legend of the Overfiend is Hentai! I never saw the first one, only Return of the Overfiend
11 Dec 1998	Brian Keith Cooke	Loading... The armor on this figure is fantastic! Very well drawn and shaded. I can't believe you though you weren't a fantasy artist! The figure's expression is great as well.
18 Dec 1998	The artist	Loading... Yeah, I wanted the armor to look sort of retro-samurai... and that was before I made up his history. I just wanted all these different textures to meld, and the armor to look kind of piecemeal, but still serviceable, kind of like Boba Fett.
21 Dec 1998	Frederick S. Fudala	Loading... Great job. It reminds me of some of the artists from Heavy Metal magazine. Bilal(sp.) in particular.
4 Aug 2000	James	Loading... Kabal the samurai warrior is the bomb folks. I give it a A+ on its tight looking armor. No doubt that this is the best picture on the web.
12 Oct 2000	Havok	Loading... awesome pic hoe to see more
23 Apr 2001	Tom Louage	Loading... I just bought UROTSUKIDOJI (legend of the demon womb) and I just can't believe how good it is ! Your pic rocks ! Great manga!
3 Oct 2002	Anna Olender	Loading... Hehe the belts and buckles look like bandaids nice job on the shading, he looks like a very intense character Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Band-aids? g Looking at them now... yeah, I can see that. And yes, he was an intense character..."
20 Oct 2002	Anonymous	Loading... incredibly nice picture... one small detail though, "Kabal" isn't a possible name in Japanese, at all. Firstly, there is no "l", secondly Japanese is whatsit called syllabic, so his name'd be "Kabaru". trust me I'm half Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "I know... I took a year of Japanese (I don't remember much of it, though). 'Kabal' is a mystical name that was applied to him by others, rather than by himself. I'd have to look up the Japanese translation of 'cabal', but I'm pretty sure it would be in kanji, and thus not sound anything NEAR cabal in English. Thanks for your comments, though."
