Full Title: A Stranger in a Bar Somewhere in Time.

This is my tribute to Derek Riggs. The self taught, long time cover artist for Iron Maiden. His album covers captivated me as a child, he was a -huge- inspiration for me. My favourite covers (although its hard to narrow it down) are "Somewhere in Time" and the single "Stranger in a Strange Land."

A lot of this is derived from "Stranger." Fans will probably recognise the layout and setting. As well as the design of the overhead lights and gun. Mine is just a pale imitation of the original though.

I hope any Maiden fans that come across this will appreciate that this is a work of adoration for Riggs and his album covers.

Any comments and especially crits will be much appreciated, thanks.

Vinz is hunting for an abducted girl, picked off by a rich megacorp president by his goons from a poor offworld colony. He got the information he wanted from some of the slavers and just rewarded them by killing them both.

The adventures of the vampiric Vinz will continue...


I also pasted a picture of Elvira on the TV monitor cos she's a hottie.
