Yo whats up. I think ComicSpace is a Dope Idea. Glad to be on it.
I'm Mark Dudley aka Dyuken aka Dyukensword aka Dirtbomb aka THE BASTARDSWORDSMAN. I am a penciller/inker/learning digital painter. I have been doing RPG illustration for about 10 years now. I have worked mostly for Palladium Books on the RIFTS RPG. I have also,most recently, done a few jobs for Mongoose Publishing, notibly BABYLON 5.

I have, just recently, become serious again about doing comics. I am gonna start posting stuff related to my comic Juda Fist: Seven Deaths of the Yobi , A gritty Sci Fi epic Inspired by Hip Hop Culture, Africana, Hong Kong and Blaxploitation Cinema.

The protagonist, Amaru Melquan Jones aka Butch is a Yobineteru, a bio-cybernetic human weapon of alien origin. In hibernation since the late 20th century, Jones awakens in a dystopian future, where he is forced to make a choice. He can follow his destiny; battling forces that have shaped mankind and denied humanity it's birthright for millenia or Amaru can attempt to put the remnants of his family back together.

Either choice will come at terrible price to Amaru Jones.
