Artist's Comments

Specifically, Dizzy and Stretch.

These guys are supporting cast from a picture called Rock & Rule, a very underrated Canadian piece released in 1983. Like the name suggests, the movie involves a lot of rock music and an evil plot to take over the world.

I might as well make it perfectly clear right now that I have an intense crush on Dizzy. He's The Fat One, The Smart One, and the drummer (which would have been enough to buy my affection in and of itself), and was also working that pseudo-samurai hairstyle a good ten years before Hellboy got around to it. Also: pink jacket.

Stretch is The Goofball, a character which I usually loathe, but in his case I make an exception. I suspect he's the bassist, but he's some sort of guitar-shaped instrument-ist at the very least.

The background here is just a screenshot.
Yaaay for the 80s :heart:

I've been trying to find the title of this movie for years! They used to run it late at night on USA network during the summers when I was a kid. I loved it. So... thanks for fanart-ing it? :)
:icontell-me-lies:
You should watch it! It's relatively easy to find, considering its obscurity.

You're welcome!

This movie actually had an alternate title too, which wouldn't help - Ring of Power was used on the American release at one point.

This was by far one of the best cult movies I've ever seen! Excellent work on this piece too though!

Love the movie, have the anniversary edition dvd! Nelvanna was working on this movie when they were approached about doing another edgy adult themed animated project. As both projects would have been impossible to do simultaneously they made the choice to stick with their current project, Rock and Rule.

The project they passed up? Heavy Metal.

*sigh* As much as I love Omar, Angel, Mok, Zip and all the rest I'd have loved to see Nelvanna's take on Stern, Harry Canyon, Den and Taarna. :)
