Lots and Lots

Got a lot of stuff to tell about because it's spring break.

I just put the finishing finishing finishing touches on my Elys. If you are reading this and you don't know what the hell the "Ely" is, well, the "Ely" is the name of the illustration major's theses' (is that how you say it?) The reception is March 29th 3-5pm.

So If they are approved on Tuesday, then that is how they will hang on the following Tuesday. So excited! I also just finished up two other images I've been working on. One editorial piece and one album art image.

This is the editorial piece. It's titled "Born Believers: How Your Brain Creates God"

I think you can figure out the rest from there. Took me a long time to figure out how I was going to make the subtle deity figure look. I'm still not sure it works as good as it could. If I fix it i'll repost it. I wish I had saved screen shots of the progress, because he started off as a big featureless giant, then he slimmed down and got a face and a really ornate halo, and then I lost all that and went with this.

Above: Entire image. Six CD sized panels that fold out from the front cover and form a poster. Below: Detail of the front cover panel.

Below: Detail of the back cover panel with tentative titles tacken from the As Tall As Lions myspace. All titles belong to As Tall As Lions.

So it's designed as six cd sized panels that fold out from behind the back of the front cover. The type is subject to a little change.

I'll have these images up on my website soon enough and the new versions of the Elys will replace the old as well. I have a lot of sketching to do now, for the Uarts open house poster and from another editorial piece im starting titled "How your face betrays your personality" I'll have those sketches up soon.

P.S.
Go ahead and treat yourself to a mcdonalds shamrock shake. They're delicious.
