Dead Roses and other skull art

Gray. Thanks. LOL, it's good that you do, it keeps your hat from sliding down over you face.

Fred. Glad you think so. I have used my photos as references for a couple of my skull themes. One can be seen in the December Stop and Post. It's the one with the luna moth. I also used one of my photo's for a reference to make the dragonfly poster which is in Novembers Stop and Post. I will post another example of this for you in a separate thread.

Gary. Good to hear from you. Your flying eyeball is awesome, thanks for sharing the link.

Burpee. Believe it or not the game that started it all for me was also Alone in the Dark, though mine was the Windows 98 version. We also have similar taste in games, and many of the Tomb Raider series populate my collection.
I am currently replaying Bioshock. .

Gray. There I go again! I will get the r and the a in their correct positions, really.

Funny how I always notice right after I post!

Remember, you have time to edit your post rather than posting again.

Hello Fred,

Here's that example I mentioned, the Pandora Sphinx was referenced from one of my photos. I have a couple more but they are in a format other than Xtreme; my pre-Xara days.

Hi folks!

Back with some more skull art. You may have noticed that all of my skull art has a black background, the reason for this is that I design them specifically to place on black t-shirts. I like skulls, my study is full of them, along with various other horror movie memorabilia. Mostly Giger's alien.

Anyway.., I decided to start designing shirts to suit my taste. Most of them are just a front design, but some I do with a front and back. Such as this one. Just a little background on my current work in Xara Xtreme.

Although skulls aren't really my thing, i really like the moth. On the black background it looks mysterious... plus the toadstools with their vibrant red tops lift the image off the page...
