Dead Girls Don't Cry Poster

I don't know WHAT I was doing with the composition on yesterdays piece. I must of been knackered. As soon as I left it alone I realised how bad it was. Here's a new one. Threw in a little extra transparency and a rejiggle of elements. Also cleaned up a whole bunch of small overlap errors and areas where the strokes weren't quite right and stuff. Much better.

On a poster-print?

Dead Girls Don't Cry

This took all day. Lots of little bits of colour, gradients & transparencies. I'm not sure I'm totally happy with it, but I've spent 10 hours on it today and it's reached the point where I can't even tell if it's good or not because I've been staring at it for too long. There's loads of detail there if you want to zoom right in. Have a look see.

This on the other hand took no time at all but I thought it looked pretty cool.  

Horror Crew - Haunting Houses - Videos

So sometime a bit earlier this year I went to an abandoned hotel with some people from Horror Crew (see photos in an earlier post) and at the time I couldn't get the videos to upload. Now I have better internet.

Dead Girl - Work In Progress

So here's a little peak at what I'm working on at the minute. It's taking forever and I wanted to post something.

Pretty much just done the skin at the moment. 

Honour Over Glory - The Return To Blogging

So I've been absent for a little while what with going to America for 3 weeks, not having the internet, going to a festival and generally being lazy. Small piece of advice though - if you don't currently have a phoneline connected, do NOT sign up with talktalk, no matter how cheap it looks, it took nearly 6 weeks to get a phoneline that actually works put in. Ridiculous. Anyway. Now that I have the internet I can post pictures again.

Gypsy Girl as standard. Where would I be without them. The 'Honour Over Glory' comes from this clothing brand that were selling merch at the festival I went to. I liked the name so I stole it. Acrylic, pen, ink & cut out paper on paper.

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.
