SciFi and Fantasy Art Tamale by Chris M. Rubenstahl


	The rather humorously named Tamale is a metis (sterile) werewolf in our WoD game. A badass killing machine, Tamale also had the best sense of humor of any of the other characters (Jester excluded). He holds the dubious distinction of putting a full-sized RV into a bootlegger turn.

30 Oct 2001	Anonymous	Loading... First comment so I guess I have to be nice... =) I like the face but the rest of the body seems out of proportions...but I guess that is the main idea; the guy being a "killing machine" and all. Good work. Good "amatuer" sci-fi art is quite rare...keep it up! Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "My original sketch for his character looked a lot like the actor Michael Rapaport, sort of this whole white-boy-tryin'-to-hang kinda vibe. After Jeremy (Tamale's player) saw the movie Pitch Black, though, he decided that Vin Diesel was a better choice. I did this one before he decided on Vin, but the proportions came out far closer to him than to the relatively lanky Rapaport."
7 Jun 2002	Mark 'Mr Man' Steen	Loading... thedetail on this is great, keep it up man (Y) Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "The only problem I can see is that he's not "dirty" enough. The character follows the totem of Flea, and is homeless to boot, and I don't think that quite came across."
16 Feb 2003	Topher W. Demma	Loading... Bone Gnawers symbol. I like his proportions. I think the muscly arms and smallish head make him look all the more like a bad mother-"Shut 'shour mouth!" I was only talking about Tamale! Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "I have no problem with the proportions NOW, but I did then. I had gotten used to thinking of the character as gangly and thin. And thanks for the Shaft reference... "Can you dig it?" I love all of those movies..."
16 Apr 2004	Red	Loading... Metis?? Where's his deformity? Chris M. Rubenstahl replies: "It's not a visible deformity; Tamale has a cleft palate, and sounds either deaf-mute or mentally challenged when he speaks. "
