Might be available soon somewhere...
Get it? They are on frickin segways.

1. The drummer from Def Leopard only...

2. Thriller jacket...

Oh yeah, I cheated a little. Took photos of Resident Evil figurines, pieced some photos of arms, hands, segways, collaged all of them together and traced most of the outline before I went in to finish it off.

    "I cheated a little. Took photos of Resident Evil figurines, pieced some photos of arms, hands, segways, collaged all of them together and traced most of the outline before I went in to finish it off."

    How is that cheating? you still created it... this composition is one of a kind...
    Just sayin.

    If this is cheating,

    Then Drew Struzan, J.C. Leyendecker, Bob McGuinness, and a shit-ton more are all cheaters too....

    Awesome Design dude!

    nice. Drew Struzan. Leyendecker. Love em. Dont know Bob. Will have to look.

    good point. well cheated may be the wrong word. hardcore artists would consider it cheating, so im just covering my ass. i usually draw stuff out cause tracing gets that sterile, realism look.

  19. ThinkBaker - Adam Baker avatar

    ThinkBaker said 10 months ago

    Did you know that Struzan officially retired from the Commercial Art Industry recently?

    Yeaup.... Big friggin shoes to fill that one made....

    Oh and Bob... he pretty much did all of the old Bond films. and what you would imagine a "Bond girl" or spy/action chick would look like from the 60's early 70's...

    and whats even crazier... is that he friggin uses EGG TEMPRA!?!

    ***EDIT* I just noticed I’m a retard and mispelled his name up there..

    But here is a link to some of his work, dude’s like 80 and still going. ha!

    nice job, i’d dig it way more without the headline though - it stands on it’s own (no pun intended).
