Native Blood

John Prisk - Native Blood

Soooo...
I'm not really happy with how this one turned out. It's not really what I had envisioned when I started it. As such I think I'm going to be re-doing this one sometime soon...

Based on the Testament song of the same name. Their front man, Chuck Billy, is native American himself from the California Pomo Tribe. As a result the band has done a number of tunes about being a native American.

Ok 2 things...

1) I super distracted by your watermark on all your stuff, just thought i'd mention it

and 2) I love this idea... but my suggestion would be to get rid of the teepees at the bottom and let the pace be open with the name and the moon in the background, so the shape of his body & the blue color flows off the page.

Otherwise, I effin' LOVE IT!!!! :)

My original vision was for more shadow and the "Native Blood" text to be integrated into the shadow cast by his head...
I changed it up, mid-progress and I regretted it once I finished...

And as far as the water marks go, folks will just have to deal. They are their to make theft as hard as possible. If I put it in a less distracting spot, it would be easier to remove it digitally and steal the image.
Since I post larger scale images (so I can show some of the details and textures) I have to put a strong water mark on...
