The Fan Art Continues

People often say that artists will go through stages in their lives, in which they often create a series of art pieces that are related to a certain subject. (Pablo Picasso and his "blue period"). I have yet to really experience a certain phase other then this, in which I have created a series of "Fan Art". (Fan art relating to games, movies, or musicians). Starting with Marilyn Manson, a controversial rock group/rockstar of the 90's, all the way to World of Warcraft, and currently, Freddie Mercury, The lead singer of Queen until his death in 1991. 

It is safe to say, for now, The Fan Art Continues...

There is a first for everything

There is a first time for everything. For me, it's using Photoshop CS6. Recently I decided to download the trial, since I wanted a little introduction to something that was more complex than just using the regular free GIMP software. I was amazed by what I could do with this program, and decided to let my imagination go wild. 

After seeing the film Van Helsing and Frankinstine, I felt the need to create a piece inspired by both films with my own twist. Textures were added to create certain effects, but so far, I have a lot to learn about what else I can do in photoshop. 

Hopefully, I will still have this in the future to compare to different projects made with the same program to see how it has progressed. In the meantime, this is my creation.
