Ok lets try to be slightly more serious. Not exactly close matches, just reminding a bit.

This is actually not exactly matching topic title.

But theres one funny story considering Grave Digger (GER).

Back in time when they released self titled album (The Grave Digger), before that they asked people for cover ideas in their website. That time i still drew quite much for fun - so I decided to give it a go and drew album cover idea for the album.

Mr. Boltendahl then replied me with the e-mail saying "that's the next idea for our album cover!" or something like that. That actual cover then was drawn by real artist influenced by "idea"-drawing. Sad that this e-mail has been long gone due inactivity of the Yahoo mail account (if I recall right), moved to hotmail afterwards.

The picture isn't that well drawn of course but it was still funny thing to happen, although there was no reward for this.

I still think I've got the drawn picture out there lying around somewhere - if anyone wants (Any Grave Digger fans?) I may try getting photo of it or scan it at my parents house.

Then you could compare it to Grave Digger - Grave Digger cover art for similarities.

Lol that's funny. I was about to post that but then chose Rankelson vs. The Rods instead. But perhaps that one has more similarities!
