Description This is basically the last properly completed pencil drawing I ever did, in the summer of 1993, while I was
on transfer leave (being in mandatory military service at the time). Some of you will certainly recognize the
pose from various posters and video covers -- this image was based on his appearance on the cover of the
1986 Figurine Panini sticker album that I so loved collecting. Parts of him were obscured, so I had to fill
in the gaps, as it were.

I was mostly happy with this, though the head was not entirely satisfactory to me. I fixed its placement in
September of 2014; it always bothered me that I centered it on the line that divides the chest windows,
forgetting to consider the angle of his pose means the head would appear to be a little bit right of center.

A heroic pose that many shall not forget.
Well drawn and coloured, anyone will praise this picture since it says it all!
