Description
I´ve painted this picture months ago for the Megadeth design contest. In addition to it, I made two seperate skulls (which I put into the painting in a computer programme). Back then I made a third (fourth) version but I only drew the outlines of it - because there weren´t time enough to finish it before the deadline.Now I finally found the time to paint this skull and put it into the old painting.
The contest is over (and I didn´t win) but I do like this version (because it´s very different to the other ones) so I post it here - just for my own and (hopefully) your pleasure.
Edit: here are my previous versions of it:

Great rendition of a revamped Vic. I'd prefer yours to the one they went with. The winner's (which I thought was cool too) didn't make the cover either. I guess Dave never could set anything in stone. You never know he might use yours on the remasters in 10 or 20. Can't wait to hear the album tomorrow I really liked the last one. I just wish they would do a full throttle Speed Metal album again. Anyway Nice Vic!!!

Thanks a lot!
I like what I´ve heard from the actual album (it seems to have more speed than the recent ones), though I haven´t bought a new Megadeth CD for about the last 15 years - haha!

Oh man, this so definitely should have won I love it. It has that good old fashion hardrock horror thing going on and it expresses the return of the band very well.

wow, very awesome. love the concept and pretty much everything about it.
are those supposed to be metal straps that are bending around every curve of the skull? dun seem like metal would do that

I'm very surprised that you didn't win.. what exactly were they looking for? XD
Absolutely stunning work, once again. You're quick becoming one of my favorite deviants. The only thing I noticed that seemed somewhat off was the bone from the upper jaw flowing back above that strap with the green glow on it. It looks almost a little too defined from the rest of the skull to be realistic, almost like an ear of some sort instead of a bone extension. Perhaps it bends too sharply? But, if I weren't looking specifically for something to improve on, I wouldn't have noticed at all. Wonderful work! And nifty concept, as well... It's just amazing to look at what you do with acrylics.
Cheers,
