Description
This is a cover for the upcoming issue of "phantastisch!"#60.I always wanted to do something like Geoff Darrow and when I was offered to do the cover for this issue I took the chance. I cannot say how long exactly it took to draw this, I'd guess around 150 hours.
Make sure you look at the large version...
Done in MangaStudio EX4 and Photoshop CS6

Hi there, Michael IVogt. I'm not your oldest fan, but maybe the newest? hehe. I just "noticed" you, and your works are truly inspiring. It grabbed me before I ever heard about you, and that says a lot about the integrity of your works. I hope to see a lot more of your worksΒ and want to thank you for doing this. Thank you. And please never stop doing what you do. A bunch of hugs from Norway with a ton of gratitude coming your way^^Β

Hi Janegutt,
thanks for your kind words. I am glad you like my illustrations and thanks for commenting. This means a lot. I sure will never stop drawing as long as I can hold a pen. I am sorry for not posting that much in the last weeks, but I am currently working on a graphic novel in french album format, which occupies most of my time. I will show some pages soon.
Have a nice day!

Reminds me of Jean Giraud (Moebius), awesome work!

Thanks. And this was defintively inspired by Moebius & Geoff Darrow's art work.

Wow... just wow.Β I like the rhino-workmen and food cart pulled by the giant beetle detail especially.Β I think I've eaten at that food cart before.

You've visited the blus sun, too? I hear that beetle makes excellent ice cream β especially chocolate.

Wow! Micha, ein Meisterwerk! Meine favs sind: Kotzendes Alien, Typ mit Riesenfliegenklatsche, Shoggothen... Im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes: ganz groΓes Kino!

Schogetten? Was'n das?
Danke. Das Teil war sehr anstrenged, hat aber auch viel SpaΓ gemacht.

Shogothen sind amΓΆbenartige Kreaturen aus dem Lovecraft Mythos. Nachzulesen in `Berge des Wahnsinns` kann die Geschichte nur empfehlen!

Ah, okay. Muss zu meiner Schande gestehen, dass ich noch nichts von Lovecraft gelesen habe.

Well, I have to say, I'm interested in this Phantastisch. I'm gonna have to look that up based on this image.

"Phantastisch!" is a german magazine about sf, horror, fantasy etc., contains mostly articles about books, films and one or two comic pages (mostly done by me). www.phantastisch.net/

I googled it up after I posted that, and my god, was I confused haha.Β
(I don't speak german)Β
Regardless, I love the sheer detail in this picture, if I were you I'd be lost staring at the tiny folks on the ground all day. Great work.

Thats why I drew only two - three hours per day. After that I tended to repeat patterns and figures.

I wonder what it means for me as an artist that my impatience gets to me, even with drawing. Granted on the right day I can spend that long going, or longer, but repeating figures would kill my brain haha. Fantastic work though.

Thanks again.
Btw: I'm very impatient β thats why I am not painting. It simply takes to long before it starts to look at least acceptable.

We know not what is this gravity you speak of.
I also found...
1 naked FemBot.
1 Tyranosaurus Rex.
2 turtles, one with a top hat.
No sign of Wally/Waldo.

Sorry, it seems, there's no Waldo (or...?). But somewhere there's a tiny mouse hidden in the crowd (this was a popular feature of a german cartoonist).
But please look out for the Planet Eater and for Sherlbot and Dr. Botson.

This town haven't heard about gravitation at all.Β Β Remind me of Treasure planet cartoon. Is this buildings drifting in outer space?
So sunny, beautiful and interesting!

Thanks a lot. I wanted it to look warm and nice, like a place one would like to visit (although it's a bit crowded).
