Description

"In those days there were oceans of light and cities in the skies and wild flying beasts of bronze ..."

These pages were done way back in the 80's for a project I never had time to finish.

I wanted to illustrate all of the great Michael Moorcock's Corum novels and I actually got permission to do it and spent some time in correspondence with him. Unfortunately I was also working in advertising, running a new agency at the time and time pressures simple forced me to shelve the project.

Maybe I should take it up again.

Sorry about the quality,it was these I could get at the time.
The originals are in my mothers attic back in the UK so next time I´m there I´ll try to get some better scans of them.

Woah, captured an element of madness in that face!

Is it Corum? A Vadhagh?

My only quibble is the city looks quite technologically advanced! I always imagined it being a bit steampunky, or like the city in the pyramid (arcane).
