Very scary with just the right amount of inlay. I am always impressed by your work.
And I did not know you were so buff.

Lee, you left your beard off! I would have recognized you right off with the beard. Beautiful knife!

And we all KNOW why you posed yourself with your helmet on!
Super work, as usual Lee.

Glad you toned it down a bit, Lee. You're FAR more ripped than that.
Fantastic engraving!!

It's always nice to see what you're up to.

In the interest of full disclosure and truth in advertising, I thought I should post the first drawing.
The updated photo is with some needed corrections I saw in the first photo. I suspect a number of you saw a problem with the eye and were too kind to point it out. Doggone computers make some things unforgiving. I just didn't see it with the optivisor, but blow it up on a computer and nose hair can be evaluated.
I do most of my work with an optivisor but the computer has pushed me to work details and corrections with a higher magnification.
I have always felt that the best work is executed when a combination of lower and higher power optics are used. Higher magnification alone causes a person to become lost in the details and the overall composition, design, and value (lights and darks) pattern will often suffer. Lower magnification leads to disappointment when the piece is blown up (pun sometimes intended and other times literal.....) on a computer or enlarged for print or viewing. If a piece is always going to be seen with the naked eye only, then an optivisor might work.

Lee,
Well at least you kept the piece true to life, the fact that berserkers cut off their nipples is little known. It must have something to do with their general attitude. It must have been difficult to maintain the perfect likeness on the finished piece to the original drawing.

Lee,
Another masterpiece from the master, and delivered to us with your usual humor and understatement!
As well as having your rock hard 'six pack', the character bares a striking resemblance to Hulk Hogan, the TV wrestling star. My sense is that he would pay top dollar to own it, and he could afford it?

Well, Lee,
We never met or I’m sure I would recognize you. Do people seem to ooze out of eyesight when you show up? Has anyone ever jump out a window not to cross your path? Do children cry when you look at them? If you answered yes to any of these questions then yes you nailed it.

When Lee is around it is not only children that cry but grown men as well...............women swooning is another telltale sign that Lee is in the building.

the entire engraving community should "bow and scrape" before you, sir. not enough words in my collection to describe your art ! just captivating !
These are a couple of my workout partners. The other day they became slightly annoyed. I think it was something about who was paying for the veggie burger or maybe it was quiche. I really didn't want to get involved.

Looking cool Lee, I had to laugh when I saw your theme. I am working on close to the same thing, originally it was the same theme, but I did Spartans a few years ago and couldn't think of anything different from what I had already done. So we changed to gladiators, kinda the same but different.
But yeah, I was at that same veggie bar (I typically stay away from rough places like that) and this is how the fight ended up. Needless to say there was fat free dressing and hummus everywhere!
