SciFi and Fantasy Art Hammers by Zachariah Campbell

This badass chick is the product of my musing on the theme of a contempo-post-apoc 'wuxia' story, and from watching too much NARUTO.

In my wanderings through hardware stores, it's often occurred to me that a lot of that stuff would make pretty scary weaponry, and in a post-apocalyptic setting, it's not like you could just mosey on down to your local sword-and-armour emporium to arm yourself. You have to get creative with what's available.

So her story, such as it is, is that she's a highway robber, part of a duo, with some major skills (or 'skillz' as they say). However, she can't carry a blade because it's against protocol for non-swordsmen... could get her in trouble with the wrong people. The hammers suit her fine though... :)

31 Dec 2004	Anonymous	Loading... This one seems interesting. Love the way the colors go from light to dark. Very creative if you ask me. It's like one part of him is is in the shadow and the other is in the sunlight. Nice work. Keep it up. Zachariah Campbell replies: "Yeah... that's me experimenting with graduated tones and textures, which I just noticed that they use in manga all the time, to great effect. So look for more of that kind of thing.PS: It's a girl. She's just very butch. "
17 Jan 2005	Kristin L. Mongene	Loading... Thank you for the hot butch girl, we are so under-represented, Its very refreshing to see a likeness of myself and many other women in your work. Zachariah Campbell replies: "Thanks so much for your comment! I'm not exactly the most "PC" artist around, but I do like to broaden the representation when I can. Plus, butch girls are cool. "
26 Jan 2005	Darren	Loading... right on! A finished sketch with a good amount of detail and expressiveness. Now if we can just get you to do backgrounds... Zachariah Campbell replies: "Y'know, when I look around at a lot of my favourite character art, most of it doesn't have backgrounds either. I'm not convinced that having a background is even necessary in many cases. Often I find that they're mere distractions from the character. But then, if I was actually an aspiring comic book artist, then obviously, backgrounds would be a lot more important. "
