I remember seeing this for the first tone very well, as I was completely new to art even existing that folks in the fandom drew. And when I asked Mi1ez to draw up Sir Kain using that text description I had, I thought it would take a while before saw anything.
My senior year of high school started on September 4 1995, a Monday. I was groggily waking up from the alarm to get ready to go on the bus for first day of high school when I was checking my email. I saw one from Mi1ez and said had done the inks up…. And when I downloaded the attachment I was blown. Away. OMG. I was on such a high thinking about that pic most of that day that I forgot where most of my classes were haha!
And this experience got me hooked on wanting to commission artists ever since. So you got him to thank or blame for that!
