That face says, "I am going to take everything you got and rip it into itty bitty pieces."

This is brilliant!

Eddie is awesome!

When you put those two pictures above eachother or switch real fast, it looks as if the photo was simply overpainted. The body looks good.

I like the lightning in this a lot, how it reflects on the weapon and especially the skin. It seems so natural and the absence of those Forcer like massive coloring adds to that effect. Great work!

@Anarkhya:
The archive at Scene.org (breakpoint 2005) contains a few steps.

Wow, i would have never thought this was based on a photograph. Its mostly overpainted now. Clouds and trees are left from the original. Still a very good work.

Getting back to the cracked brilliance with new infos

Near the end of the demo, there is a brief WIP (only 4 frames) called Anti-Redrawn-Mode of this picture, but, obviously the WIP doesn't mention the background rip-off.

If you wanna see this WIP for yourself > jump at 3:40 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHfi3kl2RZo

On top of that, this is what Scope said in this surprising scroller:
"About the anti-redrawn-mode:
In Arte by Sanity, they show an anti-scan-mode. the example drawn by Ra is very lousy because it's totally redrawn from Jeff Easley, you can find the picure in the book called "the art of AD&D. The picture of the sailor here in this demo by R.W.O. is not a copy. Although Sanity claims something else about R.W.O. in arte, but how should they know?"

Isn't it ironic ?
