Final Piece and Details
All colors are divided into their own layer. The illusion of gradients and transparency is achieved through visual color mixing using a bitmapping process to create halftones.
Printed on Shirt
We screen printed a slightly simplified version of the illustration on shirts, the full illustration will be used as the album art for Xuluprophet's STARDUST cd.
The shirts can be purchased at any Xuluprophet show here in Savannah, from the 13 Bricks store or online on our website. You can check out Xuluprophet's music on Soundcloud or Reverbnation or follow him on Facebook.
