Unity NOW!

Post by DirtbagSailor »

Artist Vivek Goel asked if he could do a commission for me, and I asked him to create a modern variation of the classic VH1 UNITY cover if it were to happen today.

I don't normally say this but that is a cover that needs to be inked and colored. I was really taken by this so I have gone over it several times. Some of these great characters blend to much into the tower, but would "POP" if colored. Can you imagine Divinity against that black tower?! So cool. So many great things to say about this cover...

Can I ask, who's standing in the background on the tower between XO & Divinity? Can't tell.

It would make a great variant for Unity#25.
