Believe it or not my Uncle says he's actually drawn pictures for role playing games many years ago. He's still quite active in the art community. And yes, he rocks. The picture here took him less than two hours and it was done off a twenty minute (all James brown) pose. Oh, and he is happy you like it....and so am I. (For all those fencers who care: that's a middle hanging guard in back stance. The sword is and Italian Espandona (Type XV hollow ground blade 46", 2 & 3/4 pounds). The armor, he just made up.
