Very cool. Your great sense of humor really makes it.

I take it Mike is a child of the 80's; going by the background faces on this.

I can never be bothered with hate of any kind - too draining and destructive ......except for salt and vinegar potato chips - I hate the little buggers, coz they will never just let me eat one of them.

Awesome job and sounds like a fun idea! Good luck to your friend, though after a cover like this, the interior art (no matter how good) will be a let down. Dave, gotta say it, that IS David Bowie! I saw it right away. Sorry. I'll be bold- I think you need to change it.

Loopydave In reply to tombancroft [2012-04-05 03:20:11 +0000 UTC]

Cheers man! Yes, I painted myself into a corner with the goblin king - I left him til last and realized I had gone with a style that wasn't cartoony enough to make him a little more generic and even though I tried to make it look like the goblin king without necessarily being Bowie, its just ended up like a bad drawing of Bowie . Oh well, Mikes happy and thats the important bit - If he needs it changed, I will do, otherwise I think I'll leave it and deal with the screaming piles of work yet to do
Always great to have you pop by man!

I buy the vampires, werewolves, ogre (goblin?), ninjas, David Bowie from β€œLabyrinth”, and even the bipedal peg-leg stance, but putting opposable thumbs on a pug stretches credulity to the breaking point… and I was so ready to believe…

Loopydave In reply to Gladiot [2012-03-28 09:42:05 +0000 UTC]

He's a genetic abnormality - soon all pugs will evolve opposable thumbs, learn to use photocopiers and take all the jobs at Kinkos. Its a scientific inevitability.
