Fortunately due to my persistance with sorting hours out at work, I have had a lot of free time and therefore a lot of time to catch up on late projects. I was contacted by a mate from work, Mark, a few months ago about putting together some kind of advertising package for his band, We’re Whats Left. I had worked with Mark before on his tattoo design, a microphone in an old school style, and had gotten amazing response for the drawing. Though, looking back on it I was never particularly happy with the design. I felt that it was severely lacking something, but what I could never figure out.I was sent a list of ideas from the band, and went to work coming up with ideas. I wrote out a ridiculously long explanation of why I went the direction that I did, which involved old school tattoos, photography, and japanese comics, but instead of boring you with all of that, I will paraphrase it. The idea I wanted to push was the struggle between what the mind believes is real and what is not real, with the idea of isolation and memory woven throughout. Not exactly an easy thing to illustrate. After several rounds of sketches I finished some rough line work that everyone seemed to be happy with. And yes, I still hate doing perspective.
I have had some trouble for a while trying to figure out how to draw linear style in Photoshop to create a depth of field, and I think I got pretty close to it on this. This is one of those times when I wish I could work photoshop entirely through telepathy, it would make my job a lot easier.
