Last of the freelance hackers. Greatest sword fighter in the world.

This guy is the main character of one of my favorite books, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson! It's really ridiculous cyberpunk, I highly rec it if you've never read it before. I can't believe I've never done fanart for it before... Time to fix that, huh?

Looks great!
I'm going to read this book. I've read Anathem and Seveneves and now I want to read all Stephenson's books. This guy has really wild imagination.

He looks amazing, great job! :clap:
Snow Crash is my favorite cyberpunk book, the setting, the characters, the overall atmosphere was so...different at a time where I was dealing with RL stuff and I'd almost say that it's what kept in the genre and branch out.

NICE....love that book.  Little known fact....the director of Deadpool was working on a film version of that book for a long time.

Joe Cornish and Peyton Reed have had their names attached in the past too! All of them would be awesome, really. But I ain't gonna get hopeful until casting news comes out... I've been burned too many times by Hollywood development hell, haha.

Tell me about it.  Would probably be better as an HBO limited series than a movie....unless it was a three part movie.  

Love your work BTW.  Do you ever work in animation?
