P.S This is one of my least favorite characters but I worked hard on it so I hope you enjoy it. Descripton of character is copyright to Laurell K hamilton. The Art is mine free use to some people with my express permission - aka note me.

This was revised on 09/20/07 with the help of your comments/critiques. I edited the hair and remove some of it from his face so looks more pronounced. Also I reduced the veins in the torso and made several more edits. Hopefully it works better than the last which is available in my scraps section for comparison reasons. [link]

A permanent reminder of how it began
No hesitation when I am commanded to strike
You need to know that you're in for the fight of your life
You will be shown how I've become

I agree with you way to whininess. In the beginning I was -alright with him now I can't stand the man -just suck it up Richard and be a big boy. :P
......Oh thank you. I surprise myself when i actually finished it and it turn out so well:D

I actually like Richard. I have this sort of AWWW feeling when I think about him, because all he wanted was to live a normal life, and he still tries for that, even though it's not in the cards for him. He's a lot like me in some ways, so I guess I can relate to him; I'm not really a person who could accept that sort of thing, and liking the more monster-ish parts. That would scare the hell out of me. ^_^

I like your rendition of him. My only gripe is that with the face and hair, it REALLY looks more like a poser render then a person. Perhaps some stock references in addition would help. I can't tell you what specifically it is about it... I stare at it, and I still can't find it. The viens on the chest, too, should probably be a little more faded.

I do love how well this turned out though. You are certainly improving! I hope you don't mind my critique; I'm just trying to help. ^_^

thanks for your critique. If no one tells you , you can't improve. As for the Poser-ish look well it was many done in poser :D but good idea about the stock but most of time i don't have the internet to browse through stock for a look alike.

As for Richard i like him at one point but i can't stand him always running from what he is.

Ah, I see.

As for Richard. Hell, I'd run. XD I've been running from the fact that I will grow up for about 5 years now. ^_^ I mean, it's easy to point and say he shouldn't run, but putting yourself in his shoes... *shudder*
