Sure I do. I like your Näck, too. We Finns have stories of Näck as well. I like your work on mythology.

Thank you!
I did not know you had him as well. I’m ashamed to say my knowledge of Finnish folklore is sketchy at best. Added you to the info text.

Consider Näck nominated for Hero of the Month. Awesome use of the program!

Wow, really? I’m flattered, but I’ve got to admit I ripped the concept off from a painting by Theodor Kittelsen:

Amazing

[Weilyn]

Very cool! I actually believe that thing could fly!

[Weilyn]

I’m glad you’re back, and even more glad you’re not hurt.

[Weilyn]

Thanks! Glad you like it.

I need to play the Theif games. I’ve only ever heard good things about them.

Thank you, Dionne Jinn! Glad to see you posting here. I’m a huge fan of your work.

Näck
The Näck is an aquatic humanoid predator that makes its home in the freshwater lakes and rivers of Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Northern Germany. It is distantly related to the Oceanic Merfolk, but lacks their fins and gills, giving it a deceptively human appearance.
Näcks are rare but extremely dangerous, and should they be spotted it is advisable to immediately report them to the proper authorities. Not only are they stronger and faster, both on land and in water, than the average human, but they are also quite cunning. Their most lethal trait, however, is their ability to emit infrasound, capable of causing a paralyzing effect in their victims. The Näcks are then able to leisurely drown the pray for later consumption.

Artistic rendering of the Näck that was spotted and shot in the Norwegian Glomma River in 1983. The Näck is traditionally portrayed with a fiddle, as its calling sounds similar to the instrument.

Artistic rendering of the Näck of Store Gribsø, Zealand, Denmark. The creature can be linked to at least seven deaths since 1955. A number of attempts to capture or kill it has been made in vain.

And a redesign of Sir Awesome’s Wastelander

Thanks to AMS for the brilliant pose.

[Weilyn]

Here’s my take:

Thanks to AMS for the pose.

[Weilyn]

No point in me entering the contest now. You just made the perfect redesign.

I absolutely love it!

[Weilyn]

Redesign for Suleman. A larger version of the image can be viewed in that thread.

Farren Craig.
When a horrible laboratorial accident left this elven military engineer dismembered and disfigured he decided to make the best of the situation.

[Weilyn]

Very cool! Loving the look on his face!

The shading looks awesome, as always

[Weilyn]

While the work is technically well made, I can’t help but feeling it is in rather poor taste.

[Weilyn]

Nevermind. The male version turned out better anyway.

[Weilyn]

Drawing up some plans for a redesign now. Is gender an issue?

Why thank you! best compliment EVER! but I will dispell your accusations that I broke time by saying that it’s daylight savings time. Would be cool if I did… Or at least broke the internet.

Ah, makes sense
We did that last week, so I didn’t make the connection.

I’m working on something for this thread right now, but it might take a while to finish.
