There are three for-sure things all people love in life: comic covers, cover bands, and MS Paint. Some warned us to never combine this holy trinity. We here at Multiversity Comics said no, threw caution to the wind, and combined mankind’s three favorite things into our new weekly feature: MS Masterpaint Theatre! Each week (realistically like every other week. Don’t judge me.), we will highlight some of the best comic cover art by recreating those masterpieces in the artist’s ultimate tool, MS Paint.

Welcome to this week of MS Master Paint Theatre. Before we enjoy this week’s masterpieces, let’s run over the rules again real quick.

Rules: 

  1. Must use MS Paint. 
  2. Must use mouse and keyboard. 
  3. No tips, tricks, or hints. 
  4. 1 hour per piece. 
  5. Each piece will be rated on a scale of 1 to 10. 

Simple enough! Let’s open the curtain on this week’s covers! Enjoy

Head Lopper #6
By Andrew MacLean

'Head Lopper #6 Cover

After a doing a pretty ok job last time with a Mignola cover I was feeling prettah confident with my paint skills. So I decided to tackle something I have been avoiding, something with a background. To dabble in the world of covers with backgrounds and to link my Mignola success I decided to try out Andrew MacLean’s Head Lopper #6 cover. Very few creators, much like Mignola has such a distinct and instantly recognizable style like MacLean. You see it and you know it is his. He is one of the best and Head Lopper is still one of the best things you will ever read. This second arc has been fantastic and it has been great to see the evolution following the previous arc which was something he had been working on for years. This cover is MacLean all the way, simple and refined but tells a very clear story. What story shall I tell with my recreation?

'Masterpaint Head Lopper #6 Cover

Fuck backgrounds. What a terrible idea. Back swimming in garbage. If you were not able to view the regular cover next to mine there is no way you would have guessed those lumpy blobs were mountains. Each layer gets worse too. The final mountain in the background is a clusterfuck of pink nonsense. I’m pretty sure that is a penis in the top left. Did I draw a penis?

Both women look to be crushed under the weight of gravity. One is now balding and the other holding a curved spear which I sure am not aerodynamically sound. I did pretty well on the logo again. I have figured out a pretty good technique for text in paint but ill never tell. You know why? Cause who cares, what idiot needs paint techniques.

We can be honest with each other right? This is not about the penis thing. I just noticed it honestly. I was getting ok at this paint thing and it is funnier when I am terrible so let us keep it that way. Also, it is easier to write these dumb write ups when it looks like a complete failure.

5.34561 pink nonsense backgrounds out of 10 pink nonsense backgrounds. 

 

 


Thank you for checking out another installment of MS Masterpaint Theatre. Look for more stunning recreations soon. As we have settled into a groove I will look to get other Multiversity Staff into contributing and maybe even possible creator guests! If you are a reader and would like to contribute, we would love your submissions for your MS Paint masterpieces. Send them here: kwelch@multiversitycomics.com. Until next week, may your airbrush always be crappy.
