Very cool! I would love to know how you went about getting this rendering style. Was it digitally made? If so, how?

Oh yeah, and if I ever get to the point where I can pay for some good art for the cover of one of my novels, you'll be at the top of the short list.
How does a small-town cop back to back with a scantily-clad Viking gal facing off against zombies and walking skeletons sound to you? In an old mountain mining town? During a lightning storm?

Looks great. Like some of the original pulps in my library. You can almost tell what sort of character "Harpoon" is just by the way you've shown him. Tough, ready for trouble and not all that bright. If he had a "heart of gold" he'd pawn it for some whiskey, but a "right guy" none the less.

I would love to have a copy of that magazine, or any pulp mag for that matter

Well done, from the fonts and words chosen to the composition's layout and distressed textures this image perfectly captures the gritty and enticing covers of the pulp thriller of yesteryear. Brilliantly conceived and executed.

Massive fan of the pulp mag art, yo.
"Queen of the Coelacanth" is pure, undiluted pulp flavour.
It's up there with "Snake Women of the Amazon!" and "Weasels Tore My Flesh!"
High praise.

HA! Thanks!!!! I just got a book that has a bunch of classic 1960's and 70's Men's Adventure magazine covers. "Weasels" is in there! A classic!!!

Well done.
I believe I have that same book.
It's a solid gold tome, that one.

what a great book! I love the sexy pinup women in them too!

Hell yeah.
It's just a shame that some of the best pieces are uncredited cause perhaps the sources were lost over time.
You can't track down more work by the unknown artist/s

thanks man! nobody ever comments on this one!!
i appreciate that!

Love this one. The feeling from the old comics are here (and itΒ΄s a little because of the "bad shape"). The most covers of comic books today are quite easy and do not look as awesome as before.

thanks friend! I scanned an old beat up book to get that texture!!

God yes.
I've actually seen reprints in Borders lately.

Love the concept and the execution! The palette is especially reminiscent of those old pulps. Gosh, I wish they published the adventures of Harpoon McCallister!

Your sense for details is so enorm i feel ashamed to not pushing my stuff to this niveau.
π: 0 β©: 1
HUH????? I look at your stuff and then I look at my work and i feel that I do not take chances. Your work is so incredibly expressive and imaginative. i've told you a million times that you are one HELL of a designer too.

When i look at your stuff i see that i must try to get anatomy and shadows right.
Imagination and expressive style gave me no attention or money.
π: 0 β©: 1
your anatomy drawing skills looks great to me. You have the rare talent of being able to make 2-d figures look alive.
