Artist's Comments

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.


Ps. If you're interested in metal music, you can also check out my own "quite" technical death-metal project NEPENTHE: [link]

Greets!!!!!!!

Very Nice. I am also a megadeth fan and I also wished I had more time to work on my painting as I usually take a long time to finish anithing. i must say your picture looks good especually the joits of the bones they look very real and so does the blade with the blood on it.

Und wieder ist ein Tag vollbracht und wieder ist nur Mist gemacht. Gute Nacht, schlaft wohl ihr Sorgen, leckt mich am Arsch bis Morgen. Und Morgen mit demselben Fleiße, geht's wieder an die selbe Scheiße.

Thanks man!
I've seen Your work too, and I must say that it's one of the tops too.

Anyway, I'm dissapointed by the average level of works, do you feel the same?

This is nicely done and well rendered. I think the skull and hands should be yellowed further, as bone/ivory yellows with age. (I think I made my painting a bit too yellow, in all fairness. Somewhere inbetween would seem right to me.) You've got some good metal textures and the transparent material over the hands was a nice touch. The visor doesn't really imply that Vic cannot see. It almost seems as though he's comfortable standing there posing as his picture is taken. It seems like he has too much armour to me to be beaten down by society... but maybe all of this is intentional, as it was a redesign contest. Overall, quite exceptional for the entries I've seen. Good work.

haha, this work is not a rendering, flames are just the only textures i've used ;) All stuff is just a drawing in photoshop.
I wanted to give VIC some more modern atributes in some kind an inqusition style haha. Something like a "Humans, the bussines is over, now it's time to clean" hehe.

Thanks for your opinion!!!

I didn't mean "rendered" is in a 3D program... why people associate that with a program, only, is completely beyond me. Sorry, but well rendered means good "delivery" or execution of your craft. I'm a Fine Artist. I use "well rendered" for paintings, drawings, and sculpture too. ;)
