I Would Feel Less Alone - Typography

I got bored.

I don't know why I keep using these lyrics.

I just really like them.

Beside My Bones...

I forgot to post the original drawing in the last post.

But To Feel Your Bones...

It occurred to me last night that I don't think I've done any work that wasn't for uni in months. Decided to change that. It was so much fun to do something completely diffferent to what I've been working on solidly. I remember why I like drawing again now.

Their new album is incredible. And their new video just came out.

I Would Feel Less Alone

For Asgard - Finished

Many layers. Many textures. Many brushes.

It's taken some time for me to accept the validity of Photoshop for anything other than photo editing.

I'm coming round but I think I still prefer Illustrator. 

For Asgard - Work In Progress

Basically I watched Thor and then decided to do a drawing. 

One informed the other. Went pretty heavy on the hatching.

Next step colour, and sorting out the dodgy lettering.

In The Land Of The Blind, The One Eyed Man Is King

Last February I drew this tattoo design for a friend & he got it done about a month or so later.

Since then he's been hassling me to draw him up something else. But never gave me any ideas so I didn't draw anything up. Couple of days ago he says: "hey, draw me up a tattoo." As per usual I ask him what and expect no ideas. "I like that last thing you drew on your blog." And since I already wanted to redraw it I got onto it.

Drew this up. Got the eyeball & bones from the last picture. The hourglass is 100 times better, time & effort were taken on this one. The runes spell out "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king". Added in some weird markings to fill in the circle.

Edit: spun the image through about 30degrees. 

Rotate the eye back to the right way up. 

Made the hourglass bigger.

How they fit together.

Beware The Wolf, For He Comes For You Tonight

Beware the wolf, for he comes for you tonight,

The sands of time in his teeth he bares,

A heathen, A harbinger,

Despair, Oh, Child despair,

The wolf, he comes for you tonight.

Trying out some new style ideas. I'm feeling the colour on black situation, the eyeball amulet, chain, hourglass, bones, bandages and the circle with the runes in are all working for me. The wolf head I don't think is quite as strong. The crosses and spikey bits I should of spent more time over. If it was just the amulet & hourglass with the bones, and then the runes around the eye I think it would work. Might draw that up.

Just for the fun of it. Colour pencils.
