    Default Action Hero – Napoleon Blown Apart

    By Nate Beckwith

    – Napoleon Blown Apart (
    Villain)

    His hate for all things taller then he is only match by his lust for power and respect. He revels in destruction, he yearns to be feared, he aches to control the world around him. But he is short so very very short. Some would say tiny, but if they did so within his earshot they would find themselves blown into very very small bits, some would say even tiny. For he is affected with S.M.S. (Short Man Syndrome), which is a disease that affects those who's stature is disproportionate to their ego. This overcompensating lust for power is what drives him.

    Destruction and stealth are his tools for global conquest. His anger can be channeled into anything and released on his command with explosive effect. If the object is an explosive device his power of anger is multiplied a thousand fold. His stealth is byproduct of his height or lack there of, people eyes just pass over him and notice nothing special. This however enrages him and feeds his need to be noticed by others, to rule the world with a tiny fist!

    Had an issue with the polys in the left hand being flipped. Smart resym wouldn't work. So i had to export to Silo and resym there also refined a bit.


    Played around with the face to get a better idea of him.

    1) Link to an externally hosted image, using [img] tags, or

    2) Upload an image as an attachment , and click the "Paste image into post" button to the right after you upload it. This is supposed to insert the code right in to your post, but I have to copy and paste the code next to the attachment. Change the code from ATT to ATN, if its a mundane image and you dont want it to show up in the recently uploaded pictures bar at the top of the website. (for instance, don't upload 3 pics in a row using the ATT code...its bad form)


    Pixologic would prefer you do number 2, as that way the images are locally stored, and cant be lost with time, or external hosting changes.


    I suppose it would have been easier just to refer you here:
