Teaser of the first page of my comic project.
More to come, with some 'making of' goodness.

Justice League

www.liveforfilms.com/2014/04/30/vote-for-your-favourite-justice-league-poster/

The poster which I did a little while ago for the Live For Films website has now gone up for voting.

Here is the final image as well as a few process shots showing the linework and colouring stages.

The poster itself was done as an A2 vector in inkscape.
The image was drawn from photo reference for faces (other than Batman).
The drawing and colouring were all done in Sketchbook on my phone.
The final piece was composited together in PS.

Hannibal 1.2: Amuse-Bouche

Episodes as wine labels!

In this episode, someone grows mushrooms on deadish people. Awesome.

The quote is a nice one as it refers to the clippings Hannibal keeps in the books about church diasters.

Sleepy Hollow 1.5: 'John Doe'

Another minimal poster design for Sleepy Hollow.
I went for a woodcut-style representation of the Horseman of Pestilence. Then I duplicated it and shicted the colour to an acid yellow to sugest the CDC/ disease angle.
I like how the yellow plays off with the grey. And I lile the simple style of it.
I really enjoy this one. Bold stuff. Strong colours and lines.

This is my design

This is the stag drawing which I did to make up the Hannibal Wines logo for my wine label design. I drew this in Sketchbook Mobile on my phone and then imported it into Inkscape and created a vector from it, allowing me to resize it freely without loss of detail.

I want to share it here as you can't really see it too well on final design. But it is a crucial part of the design.

This is my design:

Hannibal 1.1: Aperitif

Here for you to savour is my wine label design for episode one of season one of Bryan Fuller's masterpiece, 'Hannibal'.

Included in the design are a quote from the episode underneath the episode title ('Aperitif') and an image of Hannibal's cannibalistic feast for the episode: freshly fried lungs.

I do hope you enjoy...

Sleepy Hollow 1.4: 'The Lesser Key of Solomon'

Another minimal Episode Poster which I did for Sleepy Hollow.
Here we have the Star of Chaos or whatever they are calling it in this show (we all know what it is "Hail Tzeentch!") on the back of the Horseman's head. Obviously, when he had a head.
I tried to avoid going for tons and tons of black on this and ended up with the shading. Which I am not keen on, so I should have just trusted my instincts and gone for the old 'Paint it Black'.
Live and learn, though.

Also, annoyingly long title. Thanks for that, Fox.
