The Silent Assassins



Code Name: Snake Eyes

Proficient in 12 different unarmed fighting systems (Karate, Kung-Fu, Jujitsu, etc.) and is highly skilled in the use of edged weapons. Has received extensive training in mountaineering, underwater demolitions, jungle, desert and arctic survival, and some form of holistic medicine. Qualified expert: All NATO and Warsaw Pact small arms.





Code Name: Storm Shadow

Served with Snake Eyes in Southeast Asia and both of them later studied the secret art of Ninjitsu with the family of Storm Shadow, a ninja clan that could trace its history back through thirty generations of ninjas. Unhinged by the murder of his uncle and mentor, he infiltrated Cobra seeking revenge, but found vengeance to be a poor substitute for life. Now, in semi-retirement at a remote mountain hideaway, he occasionally takes on a special mission or two - if Snake Eyes asks him nicely.

Troy Bloomtree


This is the last known image of Troy Bloomtree. He is believed to be at large. He is wanted for the death and mutilation of nearly a dozen victims. Bodies are often found dressed up in costumes and posed. Tripods and cameras are often nearby. Bloomtree is obsessed with celebrity and fame, and is thought to kill his victims in hopes of using them as castmembers for his "masterpiece".

*if you resemble Troy Bloomtree (in appearance), I promise, it is an accident. If you resemble Bloomtree in any other way, I hope I never meet you!

A Magical set of artists






So I just got back from the local comic shop, and look what I found in my magical pack of Magic: the Gathering cards. O snap! Look at that art, so impressive.

Every Beast Needs a Master



Here is the final painting for the Beast of Burden challenge. I also did the rider since I thought he would be fun to work on.

Beasties


A Beast of Burden based off of one of my favorite classic creatures, the chimaera. Ohhh yeaah.

Great Dolphin

Artificially evolved from their smaller ancestors, the domesticated Great Dolphin is the transportation of choice across the great seas of the world. Ever since the Big Melt of the 22nd century, humans have learned to use these beasts of burden to perform a multitude of underwater tasks. Their great strength and intelligence have made them prime choices for use in our world today. Riders are equipped with a breathing apparatus that is set to refill when the Great Dolphin comes to the surface to breathe (approximately every half hour).

Beast of...


Okay, so maybe he's not quite a beast of burden, but he is still a beast none the less. This is a comp for a piece that is a carryover from the Dino/Samurai challenge. Part kneaded eraser, part photoshop.

Hello



Meet the craziest beast out there! Me.

And the rider, her name is Tackleberry. She is a penguin. I think.

And the lady in the background? Lets just say she couldn't take too much of the beast.
