Post Reply - Space/sci-fi themed metal cover art

By the way,

I'm on the fence about the "New" Eddie as well, I dont like the image on the cover but the one
INSIDE the lyric sheet is MUCH better and is more reflecting of the Artists work of Melvyn Grant.
Less "Cartoony" than the one on the cover . . .


A LONG time illustrator/artist of Sci-Fi:

I know most of us miss Derek Riggs Art, but it seems The Boys in Maiden were a bit rough on
him at times, you can see some "comments" in the lines-in between at his site:

Forgive, I'm a real big Sci-Fi/Fantasy Artist GEEK , I collect as many Books as I can afford!
Its a love as much as I have for Metal and Prog .

Edit:
Speaking of "Reading between the lines", this is right up-front between the eyes . . .

HA! Check this out!!! and AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
I have to deal with this mentality myself but Riggs and IRON FUCKING MAIDEN!!!!???
LOOK at this MASTERPIECE and read Dereks comment . . . that just astounds me :

No matter what kind of money the Client makes, no-one wants to pay a full days wages for
quality "work", thats work, skill, job, gig . . . geez.
