Has to be the first one. The 2nd is not great at all. He has a look of Pete Steele (R.I.P) OF Type O Negative in that 2nd one. steele_01.jpg

Hi Nosferatu! You're right of course. When I read it back just now it looked a whole lot nastier than was intended. Of course I've had many a kicking on Cult Labs over various cover designs (I'm still hobbling after Inferno and Bay of Blood!)so thought I'd lob one in myself! I'd never criticise another artists work but of course this wasn't artwork so I didn't think I'd cause any offense. Sorry if I did. |

The gun kinda looks like his penis is popping out a little at a glance...

Can't say I do tbh. What is it with Rick's fascination with tits and arse on every cover/painting?

Well, this was a quickie that I knocked up as a bit of fun after someone posted that Rick Melton would simply paint Anna Falchi with her tits out for The Cemetery Man. Of course you only have to skip back through all the comments on this thread to see why commercial artists are encouraged to sex their covers up although admittedly I appear to have been encouraged more than most!. Having said that, of my last six covers only one has any T&A to speak of. I did do an experiment recently with a Humanoids of the Deep illustration done for The DarkSide magazine. I did one with the girl's bikini top on and one with it off and advertised both prints on Ebay. The bikini one sold zero prints, the topless one 26! Nowadays I do censored and uncensored versions of most covers and the last 3 posters I did for American distributors all had NSFW versions because that's what they requested. Incidentally, it's not as though I sit at my drawing board salivating at the thought of getting stuck into another screeching great pair of tits. I want to get my covers done as fast as possible and it's a lot easier to paint women dressed!

That's really interesting insight into the supply and demand world of cult art. Seemingly, as the cliche goes, sex sells! Going back to your earlier post, I actually quite like the 'big arse' Inferno cover as well as the painting for A Bay of Blood.

By the way, if I get time I'll dig up the initial rough sketches I did for Bay of Blood. After all the hullabaloo over Inferno I decided they were too sexual in nature and went for the head/tentacle thing and wound up getting smacked down even harder! |
