" When is IDW/2000 A.D. gonna give you a cover?!
Have you ever seen Iron Maiden's "Somewhere in Time" album cover by Derek Riggs? I know it was very Blade Runner influenced, but maybe he drew a little from MegaCity One as well.
Love the depth!

Hi Chris,
I've just done some covers for IDW. The Sin/Dex variant ones. Although these were only black & white line art (and coloured by someone else)
As for 2000AD...
I've given up trying to get covers (or indeed any other kind of work from them) as they seem intent on ignoring anything I do no matter what I show them? I've no idea what I"ve done to end up in this situation. It's a real mystery to me really? I sent the Megopolis piece to the editor and he liked the mood, but complained about Dredd's gun being 'weird'. Simon Bisley saw this piece on a table at a convention I attended and he said it was "Awesome!!!" So that felt good. I got his approval if not the editors.
It is still up for sale if you're interested in buying it? I still have it here, in a frame.
Derek Riggs was a BIG influence on my art when I started my career. I love his Maiden covers!!!
Cheers
