Description Ha!!!!!!! What a day!!! (15.III.2006)
I'm so happy, I cannot express how much just in words, we should all gather and have a party of the year. hahah

I want to thank you all for so many warm words, support, and greetings. I can't answer to everybody - so I want to thank you all here, I really appreciate that!!!

The biggest thanks should go to mr. Dave Mustaine - who is one of the greatest persons on the whole metal scene, and for me personally - the man who made music which was always close to me (since '92 when I've heard Megadeth for the first time).

I would like to thank also the persons who encouraged me so strong and still believed that I'm gonna make it: my sister - Kamila, my ex (Anna), my eternal brothers Pawel G. & Kamil S., and the whole wolf pack from Cracow (especially: heavy asses from Witchking band: [link] hahah).

Salutes to all artists who were in this contest!!! There were many works that really kicked asses! And I'm real lucky that I was the finalist. Cheers for you all!!!

Thanks also to the LTD & DA, for a great guitar!
It came to me like star from the sky - I needed a new guitar to record my new Nepenthe stuff, and I was prepaired to buy a new one (maybe it's little ironic and funny - it meant to be a Jackson guitar hah ).


Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!!!!!




------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Full view very recommended Bon Apetit...

I wanted to do a work that is upgrade/update of Vic, not to do something completely new. I'm listening Megadeth since '90, and lot of my friends too, so I tried to think in the way of Megadeth fans - when they will see the new Vic. I tried to make something that will cause that they will say:
"Oo, that's something new...",
not: "What the hell is this? What a crap... Megadeth went under...".

So I it's a Vic figure design, not a cover or stuff like that. Megadeth can use it just like they want to, putting him in some new situation or scene.


My other versions ov VIC:
Killing is My Bussiness remake: [link]
VIC ver.5: [link]
VIC ver.7: [link]


That's also a great moment for salutes to Dave Mustaine and Megadeth. I grew up on their music, and I have maximum respect for that. I hope the Megadeth will still deliever us the sonic pleasure like it was through all these years.

Congrats on winning the contest, mate. Undoubtedly deserved.
This really has that Megadeth 'feel' to it, y'know?
I could see Dave himself coming up with a design like this.
Extremely well done, mate.

Hah, Gracias!!!

About this work, the bigger things that wasn't painted in Psh from the beginning are teeth (from some skull photo), and flames. Anyway, I did this work using many techniques - but the base of my technical skills was photoreallistic drawing. I was learning it for a few months, around 10 years ago. I'm using this knowledge till today

Cheers! I hope I'll have an oportunity to see your country some day

This is fucking awesome!
I gotta say, this one shouts Take No Prisoners the loudest! Seriously, I would see this in a Megadeth-albumcover quite easily. ItΒ΄s so goddamn awesome. It suits Vic better than any other designs, also, the steel-neck was quite original invention. ItΒ΄s a shame this was not chosen.

xaay In reply to finDizzy [2008-03-23 18:16:35 +0000 UTC]

Hah, thank you so much!
It was the 1st place in VIC redesign - it was not a cover-art contest, so I'm happy enough really!

It would be the one of my dreams to desing a cover for Megadeth, but it was done by another artist from DA who was in the top 10 too.

Anyway - Megedeth is really great band, one of a few metal stars form the '80, that are still awesome. They can play their old songs like many years ago (without giving a shit like - for example - Metallica does now).
I've seen their show 2 weeks ago, and it was one of my best I ever seen in this kind of metal music (besides Slayer around 4 years ago - when they were in a great condition).

Thanks again and all the best!

I saw Megadeth live about 2 months ago in finland, it was the beginning act for the tour of duty. Gotta say, that was one of the best shows IΒ΄ve ever been And Metallica sucks for me at the time. ThereΒ΄s so many better trash-bands than them around, like Nuclear Assault and Overkill.

Hah! That's right.
BTW - Now the Metallica will be soon in my country, but I don't need to see the legend with the new plastic face hehe.


Cheers!

You know - it was Vic redesign contest, not cover contest, so maybe that's why they did it with another artist.
Anyway I'm happy that I won that contest - that's cool enough, and good reward for my work as well

Cheers, and all the best!

Great to hear this words - especially from you.

I'm impressed by your works too, you have brilliant skills and taste, and you're still creating new ones - and that's very important also...

All the best for you too!
