The Missing Man

So here's the deal:


You are a very busy artist/designer. You work a lot, you take a lot of drugs, and you have some mental problems that you really dont like discussing with people and you're still a bit ashamed about that time you stabbed that tramp who yelled "Your brain looks like a television that's been fucked by a rhino" outside the coffee shop.

You do covers for books, comics, and CDs, and you get confused easily.

You've been told you have to produce, in one week, a cover for something called THE MISSING MAN by Steve Ditko.

You can't remember what the cover's for. So you decide it's a CD.

(You do a lot of work for ambient music labels. You have no clue what THE MISSING MAN is. Steve Ditko sounds like someone who does ambient stuff.)

So your image is going to be CD-sleeve sized, or else it'll be rejected. And it's going to have the title THE MISSING MAN and the credit STEVE DITKO.

And how you execute it, what style it's in, everything, is up to you, except of course that it should somehow reflect the title (or perhaps the music you imagine it is), or else it'll be rejected.

You have one week. Go.

Tiger Hart

Well, the last one just proved too hard or too uninteresting for most of you. So let's go back to an old-style R/R, with this Fletcher Hanks horror from 1940:

Tiger Hart of Crossbone Castle is a dual sword-wielding pseudo-medieval warrior who battles against lawbreakers on the planet Saturn. In his one known exploit he fought to recover Queen Hilda and the Solinoor Diamond from Turk-the-Terrible and his Talon Man. He shattered the diamond with his sword so that no one would ever kill for it again. Tiger Hart is fairly brutal. He tortures two of Turk-The-Terrible's men by hanging them up over a pit of tigers and threatening to cut them loose.



No picture. Don't want to spoil it for you.

Your task, as ever, is to re-invent that into something a 21st Century audience could enjoy.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with, but bear in mind this is an ART thread. No pen-portraits. This is ART ONLY. Posting just a bunch of text, or a scribble and a vast number of words, will get the thread closed and your account banned.

You have one week. Go.
