Seeing how I've still got my last 2 commissions to finish and I'll probably only post one of them on here anyways, I figured I'd share the wallpaper I made for my Twitter (there's a link in the sidebar if you want to follow me) so you can see it without all the junk in front of it. It's full of Norma Jean, Underoath, Impending Doom, As I Lay Dying, Hands and most of all He Is Legend references. I think there's about 11 layers in this. 4 textures, 3 sections of newspaper stock, 2 of text, 1 of my actual handwriting and the background which the gradient is on. All the solid layers are set to multiply in blend mode. By solid I mean the big square stuff like the newspaper images and the textures, not text or the scribbles and handwriting. For the newspaper images I put them in, set to multiply and used the eraser with a soft edged brush around 15px and the opacity at 50% to softly blend them into the background so it'd look like the text was part of the image with no hard edges to make it look just sorta thrown on there. The Underoath text which was an idea I took from the packaging from their Survive, Kaleidoscope album (the inside of the sleeve has the lyrics "Just what are you so afraid of?" printed backwards) is Helvetica and the massive EDGEWOLF is Aristotle Punk with the centers of the D and O erased out.
I really need to get back to my commissions now...
(stop being so damn lazy)
