Well when I saw the theme I just had to.

This is my tribute to Dr. Hunter S. Thompson :bow:. If you don't know who hunter is, then you don't know "fear and loathing."

Hunter S took his life this year, well, because he lived longer than he ever wanted and with his bad hips he wasn't able to walk up the stairs to the bar, at a party in his honor. Hunter was in control, even in his death.

Hunter is one of the greatest american writers, and my hero, so this for him. 1937-2005. :beer:

I used a couple of reference photograph to model him. HV for the smoke from his cigarette. Nice bit of radiosity for the render, Overcast w/ point light.

Went w/ B&W because it just fits Hunter. And if you're saying, "that doesn't look like hunter" then you're thinking of johnny depp, who played him in the film. They look similar but not that similar.

Hope you enjoy and we can raise a glass to hunter s.

The fear relating to hunter, to not live life to the fullest as he did.
