Ghost Key


Above is the initial stages of a design I'm doing for an Infernale poster for an upcoming gig. For anyone who reads this (and as of yet, I'm highly unconvinced anyone does), the gig is on Thursday the 25th of June, so if you can make it please do. Shameless plugs rule.

Basically that design will be further fleshed out with a bit of colour, plus some roots for the tree at the bottom with will sort of box the text (gig details and what not).

I really like the design, and I'm thinking about using it for a shirt maybe too. Will see how that goes.

Below is just a random image I put together for a portfolio. It's okay. I don't love it personally, and I consider it a working draft. I like the hand drawn part, and the idea of two things happening on opposite side, but the whole sun v.s. moon thing I find kind of cheesy. Appropriately entitled 'nightenday' (lower case intended. Thanks Andre for the tip).

Will post back soon with the final product of the poster.
