Iron Maiden Artwork Challenge: Latest Best!

jamesgill / News / 23/03/2009 17:45pm

The entries are coming in thick and fast… and rather good! Check out the best we had last week.

We’re inviting everyone to recreate a piece of Iron Maiden artwork and send it to us.

Below is a wicked recreation of ‘Killers’. Think you can do better? Send us yours to metalhammer@futurenet.co.uk

Last week we had this great one from Sarah and Gareth, who said: “Thanks for letting us have so much fun in making this photo. The night was bloody cold, the beer free-flowing and our Maiden slightly grumpy. So here it is, in all its quiet-village-axe-weilding-neighbour-scaring-police-questioning glory. PS: Must remember axe-weilding is ‘not an approved public action’, and that ‘Iron Maiden is not good reasoning to do so’…’ Asif!”

The week before we had this awesome one, Dance Of Death!

And here’s another great entry, this time, ‘The Trooper’.

This says a lot (of good and bad) about maiden fans. Brilliant though; bloody brilliant.

Nice work all!

Mind, it says something when some fans with a camera and access to a PC come up with something that’s an improvement over the real ‘Dance of Death’ cover. BRING BACK DEREK RIGGS!

WOW! Impressive dance of death (:

Personally, I think the dance of death one is terrrible.

I’m curious to know exactly why you think it’s terrible, Mitchell? Based on the criteria of accuracy, effort and fun it looks to score pretty highly to me. Granted, the composition is rather dull, the costume design ( *cough* ) isn’t particularly interesting and the compositing of the various elements could be better, but those are faults in the original cack smear of a cover so hardly something you’d expect to see resolved in an image which seeks to emulate it. Unless your comment was directed at the original of course, in which case I heartily concur with your sentiment.

Natasliah, it was a joke to wind up my girlfriend, pictured on the album cover. But thatnk you for slagging off her costume design.

That’s me :)
Hahaha.
Read it again… he was slagging off the ORIGINAL costume design.
How could anyone slag off those costumes…. xD
