This is an illustration from The Rifter #40, the tenth anniversary issue of the magazine by Palladium Books.
Cap'n Jamison was one I had an immediate vision of in my head. Sometimes you'll be reading the description for the job, and BOOM! Mental image. And a pirate captain? Who doesn't love that?!
For this guy, maybe it was all the Tellos I had been reading at the time, but I saw him as a Mike Wieringo drawing.
So if you ever wanted to see 'Ringo draw a salty sailor type from the far-flung, post-apocalyptic future, then see it re-drawn in my style... well, here you go. You're welcome.
Ha! That wouldn't be so bad And I'm glad you dig the vest and hair. Hairy guys are always super fun to draw, anyway, and I wanted to really get a nice reptile-hide vest going. Looks like it worked
FanTASTIC work, man! Love the feel of the image. And great kudoes to the late Wieringo. Man, what a loss his death was. Great to see someone keeping his memory alive and well.
He was and remains a huge influence on me, and his passing only encouraged me to push harder to do the kind of work I love, and that I hope he would have appreciated and enjoyed.
