Post Mortem

[Aleksi]

I had a lot of fun doing this picture for a RPG book called POST-MORTEM.
I've also done the graphism, with the types and coverdesign.
I really enjoy working on it

The illustration without anything :

And with the titles and the pages design :

....you amaze me. is this all traditional and mixed?

or is it some photomanip and trad...

it looks great.

They ruined it with the typo... for sure they could've done better. no offense to who did the typo.!!!

good stuff..

Uh I agree text design is like 50s horror movie stuff and just doesn’t work with your picture.

...and your picture I like.

[Aleksi]

This is mixed-media : Photomanips, digital painting and traditionnal painting.
I've done the typo and the text design (in fact everything) :)

It was a volontary choice. I want this old-fashion typo style.
In fact this RPG game is very sarcastic and deals with clichés. You can play with all the classical RPG universes. You're dead and you are sent to different enclaves, all of them are parodies of RPG universes already well known...And everything is going on around the Death and its administration.
I try to show it with some details and with the graphic design.
I didn't want something only dark and serious...

And I tried to do something a little different than what you can expect with the first illustration alone...I didn't want to use a lot of effects on the types and graphism. A more modern and refined graphic style
A lot of photoGraphism stuffs are always dealing with the same kind of renderings (like my illustration alone) and I've tried something else...
I don't know if I failed...:(
But it's something I'll try to explore further...

[endregan]

Oh hey man no problem. Now that i see what your going for yes now i understand...

actually i couldnt have done better with the typo.

good job and that would of been a fun yet tough job. keep it up...

[darkcult]

Sarcasm -Well that explains a lot then ...

:chug:

[Aleksi]

Yes Sarcasm and parody :)

I would have maybe put more funny details in the picture alone...

"Post-mortem : there is a game after Death "

One of the influence for this game is Terry Pratchett

I love the use of photomanipulation in this piece, it's a very solid piece. I've seen that distorted skull or one similar to it in one of you Spawn pictures before, though... :D

[Aleksi]

Yes :)
It was another photograph of the same skull ( a plastic one used in sciences studies...)
I use a lot of things that I've kept at home for my works:
