"Somewhere in Time" is a damn good album (not better than
"Seventh Son of Seventh Son" however) so I couldn't resist
to accept the challenge. So here's Eddie, ready to trigger
the gun!

I didn't draw the bottom 'cos the sig would be too big.
If you could combine Vero's figlet (which is very well
done btw) with my chest, your sig would look terrific!
I'm not very satisfied with the head however. Eddie
doesn't look very nasty! If someone could improve the
face, especially the right eye, the Cybernaut would
be more than happy. =)
