I'm not really sure what I'll use these for but I was inspired to do them when Monika and I went and saw a flamenco show last week on Valentine's Day night. Between songs the lights were dimmed and performers were backlit by a very low colored light. So, when you looked at the stage, all you saw was the colored light and a silhouette of the performers. I really liked the look and wanted to apply it to my band.
The other good thing about doing these kind of pieces is that it was a good exercise to see how different each character is and how you can definitely tell who is who based solely on their silhouette. I think when you can do that you're on your way towards designing some pretty good characters.
I'll show off the rest of the pieces tomorrow and show you how I made them a little more stylized than this group piece. I think they came out pretty cool and I'm looking forward to showing them off.
And, after that, we'll talk a bit more about the Ryan Burke trading card art.
But, for now, have a great day!

Excellent!
The silhouette thing is a good idea.
