Another "Gothified" Mucha for Gothic BC. This one was considerably more work than the first one since the source image was a very small, very heavily compressed JPEG. The original I started with was a little smaller than this and the finished product is four times larger than this. In order to deal with the nasty compression artifacts the entire image was essentially redrawn / repainted.

I'll be putting this on some Zazzle gear tomorrow evening and maybe offering up a version without the logo for prints.

( What I started with )

I meant to post this a while ago. I originally did this for the Decadence posters and flyers for the Gothic BC 10th anniversary party. I liked it enough that I did another version based on the complete piece to put on T-Shirts at Zazzle.com.

Photomanipulation/Illustration.

A photo-manipulation based on this photo. The full resolution version of this is 9,000 x 12,000 pixels ( 30" x 40" @ 300 dpi ) and prints are available through deviantART.

More fun with the drawing tablet, Illustrator and Photoshop. Damn if this isn't addictive!

Current Mood: pleased

Remember this post about how this picture reminded me of the lighting in Academic painting? A few dozen filters, layers, and assorted other Photoshop tricks later, et voilà.

And here is a detail crop so you can appreciate the full effect:

Tonight I finished the version of the punks illustration in the style I originally intended to do the whole series. The full resolution image is quite large, 45 megapixels, while the "more cartoony" one is just 3 megapixels, yet this one didn't take much longer to do at all.

( The other version for comparison's sake )

O.K., maybe I am glad I didn't use this style for the illustrations. This is taking much longer to colour.
