A much better version of my friend Jeremy's Werewolf character Tamale. This drawing was done from a publicity pic of Vin Diesel, posing for the movie 'XXX'. I changed his tattoos and moved some stuff around (notably, in the original, he wore a white wifebeater; in this one, I made it black with the 'Z?' from JTHM).

This is impressive. There are so few artists who draw such amazing tatoos. And you are one of them.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thanks! It certainly took a while to design the tats, but I like the way they look, generally. I still would've preferred a more linked theme running all the way down each arm, but I think this turned out a lot better than I expected it to."

Artistically, this hauls massive ---. Realistically, was his right forearm shorted surgically? Jesus, that forearm is shorter than like...my foot! Still though, very nice drawing.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Oops. Chalk it up to REALLY bad foreshortening. His arm was supposed to be coming a bit towards the viewer, but it looks like I didn't overlap the sections and musculature of his arm properly."

This is amazing, i would like to meet a computer enemy like that in a game.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "You can, sort of, in the Vampire: The Masquerade PC game. "

YES JTHM RULZ. and im going to be looking for that enemy in VTM now....once my supid friend gets done with playing 3 times and seeing all the endings...

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "I'm not sure if someone looking EXACTLY like this exists in the game, but I've seen this type in the multiplayer games (usually sporting a minigun)."

His arms are Huge! You did pretty well with the tattoos and the knife is cool.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Thanks! Yes, his arms ARE too big. I wanted to give the impression of muscle mass; I went JUUUST a bit too far. As for the tats, I just combined several sources into one continuous pattern running down his arm."

Okay, I kindof got bored with this pic, and I have been using it for RPG Purposes, and I did a little 'blurring' with Photoshop, and I think it looks much more better.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "Cool... send me a copy. I just wanna see how it turned out."

You are the best artist i have ever seen....bar none...the best.

:-) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "You probably haven't seen too many artists yet, if you think I'M that good, but thank you anyway! The praise is definitely appreciated, though, and I hope you check out some of the other pieces in my gallery. Thanks again!"
