certainly you can, though i'm not sure how helpful i can be with my explanation. this piece in particular was insane as far as my process was concerned. I started with the basic pencil sketch of the figure, then just went to town layering as much as i could overtop. photos, scanned pattern, ink spatter, there was a while where he had hands growing out of his head until the band told me to tone it down a bit, haha!
but i guess the short answer is that i combine a lot of things digitally, and layer until it feels right.

Very impressed with your mix of drawing, graphic elements, and photography.
I usually have things to say in an advanced critique request, but here, not so much.
perhaps the right half seems a bit too evenly balanced when placed with the chaos to the left. I feel it needs some other element to relate it with the other half.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, the two might not be related enough, i agree. there's some textures, ideas and patterns in the right that are also in the left, but none of them overt enough i think. the right part will be on the back, and so will be less intrusive, i think

Morbidly gorgeous. Seriously, it's quite stunning. I especially love the subtle details like the face on the right part and the tones on the bottom left. Exquisite.
I've never heard of this band. you'll have to send me some sometime. <3

thanks! yeah, there were actually lots of hidden faces in the cover(left side) but i had to tone it down, i'm afraid. its kind of a shame, but it does read much better now. glad you like it. and yeah, i can send you some soon

Well, YOUR gams still would have been pretty sexy. But i think we both know you made the right choice.

I love the energy in this.
The one thing I feel from this is that there isn't anything really tying in the two panels...except the textures.
Great piece overall.

yeah, i see what you're saying about the two. i thought the texture and pattern was enough to tie the two together. or i hoped anyway. thanks for the feedback!
