Planet Rock v.2

Aarlev · 04-25-2008, 10:26 AM

I've been working on this for a few months now and I think it's finished. I was thinking about maybe scanning in one of my graffiti sketches and blend it in but I'm not sure. I never know when a piece is done hehe. Anyways it's a tribute to Afrika Bambaataa. One of the originators of Hip Hop culture. Images are my own, except for the one of Bambaataa himself , which I've gotten permission to use by a photographer. Lighting, brushes etc are done in Photoshop and the typo is created in Illustrator. Hope you like it.

Looks amazing overall, not sure im 100 percent sold on the font though.

Yeah it's not really there is it? It needs more "umpf" or something

Maybe I'll just hand draw the letters in a graffiti style and then jazz them up in Illustrator. Thanks for your input Gino.
