fun little idea I've been thinking about, let me know what you think (criticism is welcome too, lord knows I already see mistakes)

thanks guys. I study anthropology and shamanism so the idea of Shadowman coming from these roots made sense.

Now one of you writer types should write a story about it :littlesmile:

Maybe a meeting with Eternal Warrior or pre-XO Aric Dacia would be cool... :wink:

Re-uploading this fan art from 2005 :D

Some pretty wack anatomy and overall clumsy rendering, but hey the idea gets across, right?

I think the original idea was to show the true origins of the Shadowman tradition, going all the way back. Way too big of an idea for my meager drawing skills to handle, but that's how it goes :lol:

I'll try to find some more of my sketchbook Valiant relaunches from over the years.
