General Lee

I found a site called 8-Bit Zombie and I was very interested in the way (on some of their designs) they were mixing different elements of 80's nostalgia in a pretty organic way, like Thrashor, a mix of Thrasher culture, He-Man, and 80's movie horror. Even subtle things like the picture of Beetlejuice with the head of the movie incarnation and the body of the cartoon series'. I was looking for inspiration for the sake of practice, so I made General Lee. I'm happy with him. I was thinking giving him a background and framing him like a trading card, for that is the context in which I envisioned this particular style, but then what is that, an 8-Bit Zombie rip off?

Anyway, here he is. Someday the mountain might get him, but the law never will.

More Faces

Trying not to overwork these. Some more successful than others.

One more for the Road

Working on faces

I haven't felt comfortable with people and faces in a while. Been practicing from photos recently.
