OK, I've been a fan since i was 14, which was in 1984, and a mate of mine brought round a copy of Killing Is My Business. The very next day, I went to town and spent my entire weeks paper-round money on a copy of my own. The rest, as they say, is history.

Since then, I've done 3 Megadeth jacket paintings, collected every official release up to Youthanasia, lost the lot when my apartment got burgled, replaced the entire collection and newer stuff, and lost it all. (Except a CD copy of Peace Sells, *sigh*) Hell, life sucks at times.

On to the image. Everything in it is by me....yes, everything. As far as Vic goes, didnt want to completely overhaul him. I felt that wouldn't really sit well with the fans (people like me)....and it would be the same as Iron Maiden trying to redesign Eddie....

So I settled for some minor mods, gave the visor some slits...(In the land of the blind and all that)..... and broke the pins on his mouth.

So there it is. I'm also working on just a head design, with a bit more modification, which I hope I can have submitted before the closing date.

Got the head-only image done... [link]
