Subject: NFG as you've never seen before!
Nearly a decade ago, a small band of game enthusiasts from around the world banded together to produce a magazine. It included the ex-editor of Diehard GameFan, the owner of a video game import company, a handful of serious gamers from around the globe, and for some reason, me.
An artist was contracted to produce visual personas for the writers. Mine never got past the draft stage, and I'm not convinced it really looks like me. I think the artist was given only "Big, bald, tall" to work from.
The magazine folded before the second issue was printed, and my character was never used.
I found it the other day, and coloured it up a bit to make it more spiffy. Here, for your enjoyment, is neogeoman, aka NFG:

That's an !Arcade neogeo cartridge adaptor around my neck, and the little guy on my shoulder is SNK's mascot (of sorts), G-Mantle. Most of you should recognize the tattoo.
UPDATE: the artist is Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante.
