I thought I had this faved on my old account... but obviously not, because it's currently not in
my favourites.
I really like this image; it is one bad-arse pug! But I really like the collaged effect in the background
of the other figures, keeping the focus on the pug. Beautiful work!

You're welcome!
Someone has obviously already tried - hence the missing leg - but the bad-arse
pug is still going strong!

Is that David Bowie as Jared the Goblin King in the top right corner?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Loopydave In reply to CarlPearce [2012-05-08 16:56:20 +0000 UTC]

The short answer is, yes. The longer answer is still yes, but complicated…
The Goblin king appears in the comic but Mike didn't want him looking too much like Bowie on the cover… so I painted him with a different nose and played with his features while I painted, but all I ended up doing was creating something that STILL looked like him BUT looked like I didn't do a very good job of it. Unfortunately its the first bit everyone notices now Oh well.
