I've always had an affinity for villains since my childhood days (Decepticons, Cobra, V.E.N.O.M., etc.) so I wanted to come up with a cool name while not copying any established villainous characters (i.e. Megatron1984 or Storm Shadow84).  So I figured a lot of bad guys have triple names so I went for the 3 most traitorous people I could think of: Benedict Arnold (traitor to the Continental Army), Judas Iscariot (no explanation needed), and Cain (traitor to his brother, Abel).  Hence, I would be Benedict Judas Cain, the most wicked bad guy in the galaxy!

Unfortunately, the previous forum I joined had a character limit that cut off the last letter of "Cain" and I refused to make my username all 1 run-on word so I had to come up with a 3-letter villainous name.  That's how I came up with the original Asgardian goddess of death, Hel.  And thus that's what I became there and what I am here.

I'm new to the boards and got into commission art collecting relatively recently (about 1-2 years ago) so my first few posts will be commissions I got during my aforementioned 1-2 year span.  Hopefully I get it right since this is my first post...

My commissions will feature 2 characters (either solo or together): Vega from Capcom's Street Fighter II video game (who was my favorite character and my main during my arcade fighting days) and The Baroness from Cobra.

(*I'm hoping I figured how to attach the pics correctly...)
