The black, red, and white button was completely done in Photoshop while the "banner" button was hand drawn, inked in (seen below), and then scanned into Photoshop for coloring.
Original drawing in pencil at the beginning of the inking process.
The final design, printed. I wasn't as excited about the font choice but it was exactly what they wanted, so we went with it.
This is a close-up of the beginning of the inking process. I drew out the rough design in pencil, inked it in, the scanned it into Photoshop for the addition of the band name.
I used to be part of a group of people that would mail each other mix CDs based on the kind of music they liked. I sent out three of them (one is listed earlier in this blog. Here are the other two:
I replaced the 50ft. Woman's head with my friend Sydni's head ( because the CD was for her), recolored it a bit and added texture to make it look more like it was part of the painting. Then I tried to make the title of the CD look as close to the movie font as I could.
The original poster for "Attack Of The 50ft. Woman".
I removed all the original text, kept the look of the paper, then added my own text. The "WJ" simply represents the initials of the person who was getting the CD.
It all started with the girl jumping. I always thought it was a cute picture. Then I just haaaad to go and add that skull to her face. I created the circular design with a little patience and some brushwork in Photoshop. Since the girl and the skull were a lower resolution, I added a halftone to clean them up a bit, plus I liked how it looked.
I found this skull on the internet the got busy with warp, distort, and skew in Photoshop.
This is the exact layout I had in mind for this flyer all along. The bird was drawn in pencil, inked, then painted with watercolors. The layout was done in Photoshop.
The drawing on the left is the original drawing. I didn't want to paint on it, just in case I wasn't happy with the job I did, nor would that paper be good for watercolors. I scanned it and printed it on better paper, made one version that looked terrible, then did another that you see here on the right.
11x17 poster for Static-X, Prong, Davey Suicide, 9Electric, etc., in Huntington, WV. All the text and Wayne Static himself were drawn by hand, then scanned into Photoshop. Things were moved a bit, I removed his body (I was never happy with it) and then added the background image.
