Thats what I was gonna say. Definitley captures the gritty element. Bats certainly has it. I'd love to see Cap get medieval on someones ass as well.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Those are fantastic. The kind of things I'd be proud to display.

That unpolished look is awesome - gives the characters another dimension!

That's it exactly. Once the piece has the essence you want, it's done. Thanks.

The Batman piece was produced as Christmas gifts last year, and I actually sent all the recipients an email ahead of time, explaining what I was going for so they didn't think I was sending them some piece of crap I just didn't feel like finishing. Many years of nothing but polished work has a strange psychological affect, and even though I knew I was done I still felt like I wasn't.

Thanks fella.

I should mention there are 11 copies of this. All were given away as gifts except for 2 I kept. One went to Frank Miller, the rest to those I thought deserving of my gargantuan thumping heartfelt kindness.:tounge:
