ED//Update

Updated the blog with a new banner, I've been thinking of getting my own website started and I designed a new logo for it/business cards I've been working on. Just archiving the old banner here I guess.

HEY GUYS. MORE DBR STUFF.

I decided before I do steadfast I'm gonna do a quick not-so-serious album called "Borealis".

HERE'S THE ART FOR IT.

Self Portraiture is Rad

Seeing as I haven't done much worthy of posting, here, have another picture of me displaying my self-professed skills at photography and being photogenic haha. Not much art has been worked on lately since I'm trying to take a break and keep from getting burnt out. Working on music here and there, trying to to be too torn up over my breakup with Ben and all that noise. Hmm what else. Oh yeah. My roommates got me totally infatuated with Glee. Also with all their drooling over the musical "Wicked" I can't get the song Defying Gravity out of my head, moreso because they sing it in Glee. UGH. So I've titled this picture a bazillion times after the lyrics from that song.

I'd sooner buy defying gravity, kiss me goodbye I'm defying gravity, I think I'll try defying gravity.

And you can't hold me down.

PURE PAIN

WELL HOWDY KIDS. It's Furry Jacob Bannon Deathcore messy art time!

Finally something I'd call official art for Dawn Brings Revenge. Spent a few hours on this this morning and I figured I'd post a quick WIP of it.

01

This is actually a bunch of different things crammed into one, I deleted the sketch layer of course so that's not there, this has the background I loosely threw in so I could tell what was going on and some other basic things. I think at one point the skull was a separate layer from the flesh/fur but I merged it to simplify (this thing had a TON of layers). Don't mind the white splatter, that came in later as I was doing some editing and uh, yeah.

02

This is just the teeth and some more detail added, or something I dunno, none of this until later in the WIP is exactly in order, that's what I get for making the WIP AFTER I do the piece and not DURING.

03

Adding the fur and probably other stuff I dunno.

04

Here I added a layer with a low opacity over the background I made in Art Rage just to add a little bit of brush stroke and feel to it, then added the dark stuff around the edges just throw in some depth and keep the background from getting too bright.

05

WHAT I DO BEST. MESSES. I don't even know, I think there's about 10+ layers of splatter brushes in this.

06

Added some coffee ring stains just to bring focus to the dead/dying/idk wolfdude.

07

Cool little thing I picked up from J Bannon, drew a shoddy little sketch of a screw made to look as if a picture of one with a TON of contrast or something, and transformed it (ctrl+alt+shift+t) at 6 degrees uhhh, I think about 52 times or something like that, you can count all of those if you want, I don't feel like it. Afterwards there were 50+ layers of screws so I merged them all down into one layer. I threw a splatter eraser over them to add some texture to it then reduced the opacity a tiny bit.

08

Lastly, what I always do, threw a layer of grunge texture over everything just to add some character. :)

FUN STUFF EH?

I destroy furry art haha, this is a mess.

All Time Low//UMBRELLA

I have no idea where I've been, considering how much I love Attack Attack!, ADTR, ABR and TDWP, I should've heard this before now but I've had All Time Low's cover of Rihanna's Umbrella on repeat forever. I mosdeff feel the lyrics so I busted some art out.

Pfffft, you'd expect me to not feel the same? I don't change much I guess.

DAWN BRINGS REVENGE!

Not just Misery Signals lyrics anymore, what say you to me maybe making a deathcore-ish project after I get my next GOTA album out of the way? ;3
