OK, so this is in the early stages, but anybody have any opinions on this ? I'll update as it moves along.

I think the knife needs to go.

Dude looks like King Diamond. Cool artwork though. I'd be proud to have that on my album cover if I had a band.

I like the knife. Get rid of the frilly wrists and the Abaddon font. Looks good.

Yeah cut the frillys....everything else looks cool though!

Actually, I think it would look cooler with either a hatchet or a mace.

Awesome... yea the frillys might need to go but once its in color it might look fine. The knife I dont know, it looks cool but maybe he should be holding something else. You got dragons in there and usually its swords and dragons but the guy doesnt look like someone who would hold a sword. Maybe a cane or something. but then again it could probably look too much like King Diamond or like a Leprachaun. Its cool though, I like it.

Keep the frillys...he's a leprachaun, correct? That's his garb. I guess some have the frills, and some don't...so either way.

The knife, though, could be a head being held by the hair with blood dripping from the neck hole??

Either way, it's awesome artwork!!! Can't wait to see the end result.

Tastes Irish to me. Pretty freaky!!

I like the knife. I think his fly needs to be down and a huge, honkin' weiner dangling in the wind, but that's just me.

I will disown you, however, if you use that frickin' font! It is the worst metal font EVER! It's a free font and has been used so many times I can't help but want to blow up any band that uses it.

instead of a sword have the wee one holding a doobie and the dragon lighting it up. after all green goes very well with irish !

I think you should go in the complete opposite direction. Instead of holding a knife, he should hold a gun or maybe even a grenade.

looks too power metaly. add some naked chicks being disemboweled.

It reminds me of Uncle Slam's Will Work For Food cover.

maybe turn the open hand into a fist, that might be what it needs.

This is coming along really well. Very cool.

Yea it is a Leprechaun, wanted to give it an Irish touch, so the clothes are the usual atire,

as for the font that's just a font used to give a jist of where to possibly place the names.

maybe a pint of Guinness instead of the Knife ?

Thanks guys.

That's got King Diamond written all over it. Excellent work there.

Looks awesome!

well time has passed and it's nearer to completion, of course it wont appeal to all but that's the good thing about life, every one has an opinion and they all count.

Holy smurf poo man. That rules. You are the master. How did you do it, how did you color it? Take me in and teach me the ways master! Seriously, please give me a rough step by step. I've been wanting to take my artwork to the next level and start doing more hand stuff. But I'm not sure how to get from the sketch stage to the above stage.

WOW thats really good Locky! You didnt really change a whole lot from the rough draft but with color it looks awesome! His frillys look kinda weird like...but other than that, pretty rad.
