It’s way overdue that I start working on my fan art for Kim WAndersson’s Love Hurts website (book out in April!), and it seems something hatched in my head during today’s lunch break.
The hook ‘Love Hurts, but who’s crying’ has been sitting in the back of my head more or less since day one, but I didn’t really make the right connection until now.
Given my inclination to all things heavy and/or metal, it was obvious that the piece should pay tribute to Megadeth’s classic “Peace sells, but who’s buying?” cover, in picture as well as wording.
Preliminary sketches below. In the first I was just jotting the general setting down from memory, while the second is done after digging out the actual album for reference.
