This is a good feeling though; the creative juices are a-flowing rather nicely. Think I just needed to sit down and crack out some good work.
Recently I've been looking at Frank Miller, author of the comic series SIN CITY. I just can't get enough of his gritty, film-noir art style... Here's a tasty example.
Anywho, this reminded me of that WANTED poster I made, purely on a random whim and because I thought it might be funny. I wanted to have a bash at making a SIN CITY style character, change my appearance like that Cindy Sherman chick used to do... Except I wanted to make a villain, someone mysterious, and not a rape victim or a housewife. So I threw on a scarf and my famous trapper hat and goggles... and this happened.
I'm not sure about it personally; in the words of a fellow art student, it has been described as "a russian fish".
Do me a favour and bother him at lemon-squid.blogspot.com until his fingernails bleed ;)
I can see his point though...To get that Frank Miller style I have to use a special filter in Photoshop, and my god, its a bastard to get right. I have plans to blow this up into a big stencil at some point, probably if I get bored over the Gallery week.
for now though, time for me to be off. Gonna attempt to sleep, but I had a can of Monster with dinner, so thats probably a lost cause.
