February 25 - Mabuss

Head bangers in leather,
Sparks fly in the dead of the night!
It all comes together ...
When they shoot out the lights,
50,000 wats of power!
And it's pushin' overload!
The beast is ready to devour!

~ Sammy Hagar, Heavy Metal

Mabuss is a new Fiverr artist, who was offering to help character design?  You had me at hello.  She had such an interesting array of designs it was easy to imagine she would create a unique persona.

... and it just doesn't do justice to see it as most everyone who will see this "on your phone".  This is more than character design it's pop-art, it's like a movie poster from the 90's edgy in being layered techniques.  I had to have this printed to hang on my wall.

This is a bad-ass cover to Heavy Metal magazine.  Do the tusks make physical sense?  No - they intentionally do not, defiant as if maybe - it's not his face.  Oh man ... does that mean .. are those someone ... else's hands?  Gruesome!

Seriously - go home tonight, and pull this up on your computer screen to see it better.  It's your one way ticket to midnight, call it - Heavy Metal.
