Description
when I saw Iron maiden's somewhere in time cover back in the 80's I totally was amazed by this awesome character, Derek Riggs is the original designer and this was based on his work here:[link]
this time I wanted to create my own version, a more photo real look and make it look gross,scary and like a total badass, I avoided the exaggerated hero pose for a more natural pose, because I wanted this to look like a frame taken out from a movie
I'm a matte painter but from time to time I enjoy painting characters
mixed media, lots of photo manipulation, some 3D and lots of 2D painting as well
original is 5k height

Nice work. Love Maiden, love Riggs. Reading some of his interviews it was interesting to see his former working process vs. his current (he's almost all digital now using 3D modeling, etc.)

Wow! Your version of Eddie looks fantastic! Kinda reminds of Marvel's character Deathlock.

The same thing happened to me, back in the 80's. I became an Eddie's fan, the moment I saw the Number of the Beast cover!
Derek Riggs owns, and you did a wonderful homage and a superb Eddie's illustration.... very well deserved DD!!

Derek Riggs should be so jealous of you right now....
Submit it to someone in Maiden, they MUST use it in some way!

Somewhere in Time is my all time favorite album cover. You did a great job bringing this guy to life.

Well I would certainly say that your goal was reached. This is utterly awesome and I remember the original album cover, too. Very nice. If they ever re-relase that album this should be on the cover. Well, damn!

my god! I love that album!
the art on that album is amazing! (have you spotted batman the blade runner references, the tardis and the angel cat?) I can while away hours looking for the little details I've missed.
this is a pretty epic picture of eddie in all his goriness and muscliness, credit to you for doing this so well.

Holy sh*t! This looks so realistic! It is amazing what you have done here mate and that is for sure!
I have never EVER seen something so realistic like that and such correct colour blend and sharpness! Everything is in place!

Love it, man. Eddie is the coolest band mascot ever and Maiden's covers were always something to behold. I think I looked forward to the artwork as much as the albums themselves ! Nicely done.... I think I like it better than the original
