Blood Sweat and Beers 2

Revival at last! The first two of FOUR seasonal beer labels I'll be making. Also I have plans to make a poster to enter in the county fair art show/contest thingy. Apparently there's a digital art category. Interesting stuff. Interesting stuff.

Anyway, here's the labels I made for my made up 512 Beer's Summer and Winter seasonal specials.

Everybody Comes to Peabody's 2

Happy Independence Day! Okay now that that's over with, if you scroll down a bit you'll see I did an image for a band called Epica at some point in the past. The image was for sale at the concert and it did in fact sell. Happy times. However that wasn't the image I truly wanted to make. It was the image that was picked out of the concepts I submitted. Now I have no regrets or hard feelings toward the original image. in fact I like it. However, I like this concept better. After all, I'm really into art nouveau.

I spent about 19 hours in Adobe Illustrator making this. Enjoy!

FINAL:



 PROCESS FROM START TO FINISH:

1. Initial Concept

2. Pencils

3. Background 1 (I made some changes from the concept)

4. Background 2 (Mostly done. Text and colors were matched from the first one.)

5. I've digitally inked the lines of the girl, all the arms and the skull and added flat colors.



6. Simple shadows are added to the girl. I'll eventually do the same thing to the Skull and the Flowers



7. After finishing all the colors and shadows, I added a little extra pizzazz to the background... but the color of the flowers is still a little too bright. For the final piece I toned them down.
