The Legend of the Lost Game

Maybe you'll remember some old 8 bit games for the Nintendo entertainment system ? 

Well this artwork is inspired upon the boxart of the classic videogame "Digger T Rock" a videogame I used to play a lot in my younger years. 

This design was the first time I started using an A3 size paper so it was possible to put a lot more details in the lineart. Instead of scanning I now take a picture from the finished drawing.  To create the stone and marble look I used different brushes and smudge techniques. For better printing results and a smaller filesize I used a posterize filter. As always I used the open source alternatives for photoshop,  Gimp and Inkscape to add colors.  

Here is the boxart where this drawing is inspired upon. 

And here are some pictures from the work in progress:

Hope you enjoyed this blog and have a great day.

It's a Vantastic life

This design is inspired upon the VW T3 van, and I know for sure many people agree with me when I say life or summer is more fun when you drive a classic van 😁😉 .

I remember my old VW T3 van, I used it for almost everything. And in many ways they where better than the modern vans that VW produced after the T3 production ended. This van has a overall length and wheelbase similar to a regular car, so it's nimble and very easy to park. And because it's a van it's practical, with extra seats in the back you could go on a trip with 6 persons. And because almost the total length was all "interior" space you could sleep in the back what was ideal when I went to a minibike race ( yep minibike racing was my big hobby in the late 90's ). 

So in my opinion is the VW T3 camper van represent ultimate freedom and good life. And with that in mind I created this design, it's all about enjoying life , traveling and adventure. Hope you like it.

By the way this design comes in 3 variations and is only available on Teepublic and Neatoshop. 

As always if you have any questions or suggestions just leave a comment.

Until next time.
