Here is the masthead for Delirium Studios, as it stands now.
And, here is the belt buckle logo for Ann Arkist: The Latchkey Kids
The two above I'm counting as finished and are going into my portfolio. With the poster for "Desolation", the count for finished print is now at three (3).
Below is the rough draft version for the cover of "The Unknown" This began out as a short story, which quickly began a novella, and is awaiting the transition to script as we speak...
As you can see, I had quite a bit of work to do, before I got this to where I felt comfortable letting it go. But to explain a little bit about how it got to this point, I did an old school collage. I took pictures of faces, cut out certain sections and arranged them into an outline of a head. I then scanned this into PS, threw a swirl tool on it, bloated a few things out and got it back to the normal silhouette of a head. From there it went into AI and made it a vector.
Below is the final version of the cover for "The Unknown."
This version has actually turned out becoming one of my favorite revisions, largely because the silhouette has taken the position of a side profile. You can still see remnants of a face, but one that has just taken a blast to the face, resulting in fragmentation. I wasn't originally looking for this in the rough draft, but the more I started to refine and take away, I could help but notice...
Both versions are quite interesting. I think I like the swirled version a little more than the silhouette. No particular reason, I guess, other than the color scheme to the first version appeals to me more than the bold colors of the second. I can appreciate what you mean by it being a fragmented face...that is exactly what I see when I look at it. This has the flavor of a sci-fi thriller: is "The Unknown" a sci-fi thriller?
