The above is a band poster I was working on for the heavy metal band Testament for their album The Formation of Damnation (unofficially, of course). I'm a big fan of theirs and wanted to up this little homage.
The skull in palm bit is an homage to the artist PusHead. He's know for his rather grim images. This particular design of his recently appeared on the cover of Juxtapoz magazine. PusHead curated their October Halloween issue.
I thought it was really cool and wanted to do up a little somethin-somethin to throw a little fan-boy love his way.
This piece took FOREVER. the rendering on the skull alone took over a week of fairly regular work on it. Admittedly there was a lot of time experimenting to get the right look but all in all I probably spent over a week on the skull portion alone.
The detail of the skull is below.

Creep-tastic. The muscles on the eyes are really gross.
Good Job!
