concept sketches

and then i went and found references and did some sketches based off of those to end up with the skull design, briefly feat gold fangs at the request of a friend

did the lighting on the crown first because I knew it’d be easier than the flowers lmaooo

I painted them with a fairly straightforward light source and then just swiped some of the background blue on low opacity over the far side from the skull’s light source to bring it all together. I didn’t like how regular the font was so I actually ended up tracing over the chosen font with the same brush (”vinyl scraper” from the Keith Haring set) that the X’s are in, not sure you can tell after all the halftones but I like it.
