the horizontal part of this cross should be a bit longer so that the cross looks correct (proportionally)

it looks too tall and skinny

The truth? It looks stupid, in my opinion.

Appetite-cross is holy, no one should mess with it ;P

Come on, people.  Don't be such assholes.  The Appetite cross isn't "holy."  In fact, it's REPLACEMENT cover art! 

That said, I think this works best as an amusing commentary on GNR.  The idea that they became too "big" during the UYI days, with the size of the production, dolphin swimming, etc.  And, now, the band has eight members.

I don't necessarily agree that the band is too big...but if I thought that, then this would be a funny way to summarize it.  Kind of like a political cartoon, but with music, instead of politics, as it's focus.

I think its cool, but more in a funny way.

I wouldn't say the appetite cross is sacred, but it certainly is iconic.

i'd say this new art is symoblic and thought provoking (as far as GNR goes that is). ?I like the "new" axl skeleton, made me smile.

pretty cool. ?nice work.

Thanks man, I made this as a joke to amuse myself and i figured some of you might like it also, although I dont think the current lineup is too big, i think its perfect, I'm a huge supporter of the current GNR, and I'm not trying to say anything political

ps estranged is my Favorite Music Video followed by November Rain and I love every GNR era better in Different ways

sometimes people are too serious.  is it really necessary to insult people who are sharing something they've made?  it's fine to give an opinion but i don't understand the need to be condescending when giving that opinion.

Agreed.

First of all, it's a pretty kick ass design. Second, if nothing else he put alot of time into it. Why not just keep your opinion to yourself if you don't like it?

Great work dude!
