That’s some big ’80’s hair
The original painting to this is long gone. This is scanned from a photocopy, hence the grainy look. It was the cover for A DISTANT SOIL #8. I originally drew this way back in the 1980’s but didn’t finish the painting and publish it until years later.
I sent a copy of the original sketch to a fanzine for their use only to find they repainted it and sold it with the characters redone in Grecian robes. I don’t mind fan art at all, but I thought it was bad form to take my unpublished sketch, redo the costumes and sell it! That was quite a surprise.
Anyway, I mean to get back to making the individual issues of the comic available for sale digitally again, and I am redoing this painting. I don’t intend to do that for all the missing cover art, but this one makes me giggle.
Don’t forget, I am re-uploading all the comic pages here from fresh, digitally restored files at the rate of 5 per week, so look to the right for the latest upload.

Now I happen to like this piece, I think it’s hilarious, but I will tell you that since putting it up, people who land on this page as their first look at A DISTANT SOIL are less likely to stay and read the comic. THEY FEAR THE POWER BAND HAIR!!!!

Not many can make that look work but they pull it off rather well. Though D’mer makes me feel like I need to get back to the gym.

Me, too!

I’ll never look this good. Ever. And if I ever go out running…..I hope House Teramis sends this squad for me, IF they can leave the kittens for a short while….
