Steel City Con (Part 2)

The last day of Steel City Con I went on a buying spree- and the Galaxy 5 Cad Bane (scan enclosed) was one of my purchases. I was pretty stoked to find a second sketch of this style at the show, as I believe Mike didn't do very many of them.

My first ever Duron sketch was a LOTR Masterpieces II "Gandalf" sketch, so I've always had a soft spot for Mike's Lord of the Rings sketches.

Thanks again Ian! I'll try to do a better job of posting. Thanks for reading..

Anyone who has the chance to pose for one of his Caricatures should- he does great work. So here it is... and thanks for reading...
