Ive always been a fan of the old 40's and 50's Horror Comics. They were so violent, graphic and weird. They always dealt with something strange like melting skin caused by some form of radioactive substance, or monsters, or things coming back from the dead. This is inspired by that.
This is going to be my DBH Halloweek2 entry. Im giving two size options, regular and oversized and I want it to be printed with discharge and water-based inks to give it that smooth vintage feel

it needs something a bit more. not doubting its awesomeness, but it can be turned to 11.

i messed around with certain background and such to fill the empty space but it all took away from the solitude that I (think I..) wanted
like you just open the door of a dark room and saw this
maybe when this doesnt print at DBH Ill work on it more, or try and sell it to a band and add text to it
discordantart said 2 months ago
not even necessarily text or a background. maybe the slightest accents behind his head or something above his hands. something that actually ties it into a narrative. its just missing something. hell, even a tad more slime, or make the melting skin thats there even more prominent.
i mean dont get me wrong, this is awesome, if you can make a gnarly t-shirt out of only slime, i have faith!

but it needs more. the shirt seems alittle too plain ..

i want to like your stuff but everything youve posted so far is really flat. no texture at all. i think that is your weakest point beyond the repetitive subject matter.
you trace your skulls from a photo reference right? like go media style. if so, maybe try mixing in some of the texture rendered from the original photograph. that could definitely help add some depth.

fuckin hell, the hands are great! and I like the reflective highlights on the skull too.
jimiyo said 2 months ago
hot! im guessin you found the reference photo you were looking for.
i think you will win one of the spots for the halloweek. you are too good not too.

BrandonHeart said 2 months ago

ithew said 2 months ago

hadouken!
ha it kinda looks like hes fireballin'
ithew said 2 months ago
HAHA....Ive always wondered how Ryu and Kens hands didnt burn up after shootig a super hot fireball
Setup85 said 2 months ago
It would look pretty cool with maybe some tombstones in the background. I like this though anyways, I like how you just keep your designs simple and clean, does not need to much.
discordantart said 2 months ago
hmmm, definitely prefer it how it is now, that glow just takes over the foreground waay too much, if it was darker itd probably work really well.
fucking sick regardless. these colors are perfect

matt901 said 2 months ago
Im not usually a big fan of all this stuff but this I like. I absolutely love the lighting on the face its top notch. I also think it could work if you add something around the hands like you have started to do.
aaron crawford said 2 months ago

great colors and just the simplicity of it.
reminds me of the old school shizzzz
