Description

Sam Kieth is one of the ultimate '90s artists for me. I always loved his gritty style at Marvel and DC and The Maxx is still one of my all-time favorite series. Anything Kieth is pure nostalgia for me.

This illustration looks like a trademark Kieth character, but exists somewhere between Pangea and a world created by Dr. Seuss. Burkey tried to tell me this was a character design for a villain from The Maxx, but I know this is just some random walrus slug with horns and a sweet mustache reminiscent of The Lorax. Something dreamt up in Sam's mind and likely done just for fun. Whatever it's origin, it makes me happy and I was happy to relieve Burkey of it at SDCC in a simple little trade deal.

But look at those shoulders. That walrus slug is jacked!

Are those muscles rippling or black, poisoned veins showing? Or both? Either way, I wouldn't mess around with this blood spattered, horny, mustached mutant monster.

Thanks bro! The artistic style is just as important to me as the character Kieth created.

New Kieth art isn't coming any time soon.  A creature design with color like this shows his imagination come into full realization!

Shit I would not be surprised if a Walrus slug creature like this shows up in the new Alien: Earth show (which is fantastic btw!). Nice little Sam Keith ditty! I'd love a Keith piece myself and echo all your sentiments. congrats!
