Gnarwhals... AHOY MATEY!

Alas, my friends, the Gnarwhals have come out to play over yonder. This weeks project is based on some of my friends band. Their band is named Static Society and they are obsessed with Gnarwhals for some odd reason. So I decided to follow in the fashion of the I am Design project and do a little drawing and digital illustration. I cannot stress enough how much fun this was. I used multiple textures, angled gradients, live trace/paint, opacity/transparency settings, filters, etc. Am I missing something??? Yeah, still haven't explored the digital painting aspect of it, because I need to buy a WACOM tablet. :(

Anyways, enjoy.


Also, some ideas from my next project where I will create my own font. I'm really excited about this one. The idea comes from a very familiar source of light. You might be a foot away from one right now...
