Description
This is a title page for an article called "Anthems." It ran in the latest issue of the Collectors' Club Newsletter, a small-press fanzine. In this feature, pop songs are paired up with a superhero. For example,:
- Conan: "I am the Warrior" by Scandal (Patty Smyth)
- Ice Man: "Cold as Ice" by Foreigner
- Invisible Woman: "When Will I See You Again?" by Owl City
Not exactly high-brow humor, but it's fun.
Anyway, I whipped up this title page / logo for the feature.My usual workflow was in play: Poser Pro 11 and Clip Studio Paint. And what could be more fitting than Conan the Barbarian Shredding on his "Axe?"
(The background, if anyone's interested, was made by using the gloom tool, rasterizing it and then applying the Warp filter. I'm rather happy with this effect – I think it conveys the power of his music.)
