Spawn is a comic book superhero who appears in a comic book of the same name, created by Todd McFarlane.
Synopsis: Al Simmons, a former Marine Corps soldier, was recruited into a special division of the CIA. But while on the job he often butted heads with his boss, Jason Wynn, causing Simmons to formulate plans for resigning. Wynn ordered Al's assassination and Al was sent to Hell, due to his life as a mercenary, and made a deal with Malebolgia: Al would be reborn as a Hellspawn.
The sketch was painted using a hard edge round brush with low opacity (~40%). I used S_Splats2 and T_Texture6 brushes for the ground. The chains were painted with the help of the Z_Chain1 brush.

Retrato Imperial
![Retrato Imperial Retrato Imperial](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi73E8sMhT69GY4W8a4sLaSG2SpwTLa5RVXAozulkXp2EwcXvbGrexfrSOq7zYP_fstvNSr5M2Kyzj7FmlEP2TdRT_Zx5sS8eNDxo5Fcaj9NfFatpxBGtwZYhUupH5xC9xf2e7MvKxlxxo/s800/ruben-retrato-imperial.png)
Este meu pensamento, com tons de violino, grito com sinfonia, um volume exponencial, mente aberta e fria, neste retrato imperial.
Vestido a rigor, onde reina o preto, o negro, o sombrio. Por trás de rostos escondidos, lenções, véus e lágrimas.
O verde predomina neste chão bem tratado, onde nada faria adivinhar a morte que o rodeia, em cada jazigo, em cada campa, em cada cemitério.
A morte está presente, não demorou a chegar e nunca se poderia atrasar.
Rostos estão estampados, com sorrisos, beijos e abraços, tal como vês, neste retrato imperial.
Há flores espalhadas, velas acesas, carinhos guardados, no entanto, as serpentes também rastejam, todas as aranhas tecem a sua teia, neste retrato imperial.
Um, dois, três pedaços, pequenos cacos e estilhaços, num sufoco de alma, nesta paz de espirito, com guerra e luta, mas também vergonha.
Novo inicio, nova turbulência, inicio do fim talvez, começo deste inicio, sem fim, com muito veneno, nada resta, a paralisia será total, neste retrato imperial.
Talvez falte um rosto, talvez falte o ouro em vez da prata, no fio, num pescoço, num corpo, nesta caixa de pandora aberta, repleta de destruição. Neste retrato fixo e eterno, este momento que sustenta tudo o resto, e nada o sustenta.
Neste retrato imperial.
