Melnibonean Propaganda

First off: no wanky comments please, I'm not a Nazi :|

This was a lot more work than it probably looks like x.x;

So I've been doing the red/black/white+vintage paper combo lately. People kept saying the style reminded them of Samurai Jack. I can't really say, as I never watched it, however, it reminded me extremely of old fascist propaganda posters ^^;
And from an artistic and aesthetic perspective I like those, they are very eyecatching. And the colour combo has always been a favourite of mine.
And for some reason the first thing to try and produce a poster in that style was Elric of Melniboné. The whole thing lent itself pretty well to the idea, seeing as the colours are in fact very Elric, not to mention how well the Chaos symbol can be applied *koff*
I wanted a really stark, edgy style, kinda retro.
Personally I like how it came out; it was an interesting experiment ^^

first read this series in the 70's in college. Powerful soul-eating sword. lots of interesting ideas. The fantasy and sci fi of the 50's 60's and 70's had lots of interesting twists and truly original ideas, you don't see in today's writing. I like your work on Elric, the albino Melnibornian. Brings me back to my college days of many, many moons ago
