Title Card Design/Painting

I was really happy how soft and warm the colours of the bg came out...

The initial concept was created with the original classic WB title card design in mind a little, as a sort of homage or take-off artwork:

Warrior

This motorbird will be included (as a sort of homage or take-off artwork) to a friend's special limited oversize release (A3) of his graphic novel "RIA - Seed of Hope" . The design of the motorbird is based on the novel's cat-ish main character.

Mouse-Over

The other day I stumbled upon the rough layout of my blog's header image and thought it would be nice to implement a mouse-over effect to the blog. Just move your mouse cursor over the title image... by the way, if you read this via a feed, you will have to go to my blog to see it :)
