A lot of authors will pick out celebrities as models for their book heroes. I don’t really do that, or I do it in a backward sense. I write the story, and get to know my hero in my mind, and will, along the way, collect “inspiration” photos/artwork.
Here are the two I had for Archer. The first is a picture of a young Eric Bana.
The second is artwork I found on the website deviantart.com … I’ve tried to go back and find the artist so I could give proper credit to him/her, but haven’t been able to find it again, despite a ridiculous amount of searches. So if anyone knows who created the piece, please let me know.
In my mind, Archer doesn’t look like Eric Bana or the guy with the sword, but … kind of. Know what I mean?
I know exactly what you mean. Did you use the super-hero length fingers? Those could be useful. Great artwork!

Fantastic!
