Description For it's very cool to have been able to combine two of my passions in life:
painting and basketball

This is a design for one of my clients, the idea is my own (with a little nod to Nike/ Jordan)

Painted with PS CS3 and Wacom Graphire 4 tablet

A ground texture is used to speed things up

Please view fullsize, thankies!

As always comments and crits are most welcome

The apocalypse basketball program, a great idea. The ball and backboard textures are wonderfully done.

One of the most entertaining pics I've ever seen. It's funny and morbid at the same time, which just makes it all the more badass.

LOL That is awesome! It's a concept I never would have thought of in a million years. I love how he's got his scythe in one hand while dunking the basketball. I gotta wonder though, who would death be playing one-on-one against? He looks too much into it to just be playing around. And congrats to your new website. It looks just as awesome as your art!

Jeez that's fantastic! The fire effects simmering off the ball are incredible. Love the light heartedness in it too, such a clever idea!

LOL! And that is meant to be taken in its absolute best, true-to-life sense, for I really did laugh out loud when I saw this. It is both perfect in its execution, its vision, and its wry humour. I love Death's expression so much. After all, he can't help what he does for a living, can he? Of course not! But that is not all he is; he has his passions, too.

Bravo, sir!

sanctuary-meadow [2009-10-14 00:41:33 +0000 UTC]

Wow.

He's totally talented. Playing basketball with a scythe in one hand and dribbling, shooting and hooping the ball in the other. And with such a great fashion statement -- long black overcoat.

What I love about this picture is the humour I see in it. A fun play on the Grim Reaper. He's not always so scary. He's just out to have some fun.

Love the ball too. Extremely awesome colours. And I really love the textures/colours that the hoop has. I really love that bronze. Looks so metallic, rusty, worn and still solid.

Greatness Vince!
