282. Pinstripe Skull

Digital Illustration. Inspired by classic automotive art of pinstriping. I don't have a very steady hand and I've never tried this technique before, so I'll leave a real version of this to the experts...

Best computer desktop ever.

That looks so cool! Kind of feels like it should be on the back of a cowgirl style shirt.

And I like your humility, Noah, but damn -- you are seriously talented.

Tatman said...

That would look killer on my truck!

That needs to be on a Harley gastank.

How about adding some pinstripe wings on the sides?

Reminds me of the Presets 'Blowup' EP

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrty. I agree - it would look great on a bike (I personally prefer a Shadow, but whatever floats yer boat). Or embroidered on the back of an oxford shirt.

Hmmmmmm. . .

Holy crap. I just watched the entire vid - completely mesmerized. I don't know why I didn't know, but I had NO IDEA it was all done free hand. Suddenly, $40k for a custom tank doesn't seem so exorbitant.

Reminds me of the Darth Vader Pinstripe skull I submitted to a previous braincase. It was Braincase XVI

Thanks all!
I'd love to see it on a car/motorcycle or sewn on a shirt as well!
And yes Arbyn, your submission was one of the things that I used for reference for this one.

As I watched the film first without sound (beeing in a library obliges), it was very zen.

god...that video is almost hypnotic...

cha0tic said...

Yup. The video grabbed me as well. Thought I'd just watch a bit to see how it was done...
...saw it all the way to the end.

You need to get this design done 'for real' by someone.
