Im making a illustration for the slogan "Live Fast Die Young". Its just for something to add to my portfolio and my upcoming website. The images are the concepts and the last one is where im at now. Any comments or ideas are welcome. Hope you like it.

Can't wait to see the finished product of that.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Here's an updated version. I've probably spent a good 6 hours on it thus far. I have to redo the left hand so its the same size as the right. The bottom banners arent flowing well so im gonna have to fix that as well.

Very slick, I wish I had talent. You should set the clock at 2 Minutes to Midnight.

thats amazing though seeing the stages

thats alot of pen work in illustrator eh for all those little points?

XHonusWagnerX - 4-15-2007 at 05:42 PM

I would shorten up one of the clock hands so it looks more like an hour and minute hand

I really enjoy seeing the progression.

Lucabrasi - 4-15-2007 at 07:26 PM

i plan on doing more of these threads to give people the inside look on my process of creating something. As long as you people dont mind.

No, we don't he he.

Great job again. Hmmm... I don't know why bands keep bothering me for artwork, when everybody really wants stuff like this - and I don't deliver it.

There is a huge market for what you do. The collage style you do is very popular and probably always will be. You dont do shotty work and you cant find a better designer for the price anywhere else.

Lucabrasi - 4-16-2007 at 02:07 PM

I've reached the point where im going to take a break from this design. I need to look at it with fresh eyes in a couple days and see what needs to be changed.

Love it, it turned out excellent.

so how do you do that in illistrator? i've never used it. can anyone make a 'how to' for idiots?

(side note tho, you have the clock saying its 11pm, you have the hands mixed up)

thedog - 4-20-2007 at 01:46 AM

that is a killer illustration.
you should do it on some shirts.

i'd buy one.

I love the whole thing.... my only suggestion (and its not much of a suggestion, its more of an observation) is that the center of the clock looks kind of bare. I dont know what could go there, but it just looks like a big open white space. Maybe bigger #'s on the clock and done in roman numerals?

BDx13 - 4-20-2007 at 10:04 AM

that's a good call, honus.
the clock is too clean compared to the rest of the design.
i'd also recommend considering doing the lettering by hand.

that shit is tight, though!

thedog - 6-6-2007 at 12:43 AM

Lucabrasi,
what was the end result of this one.

the new one you posted is cool too,
but i liked this one more.

Lucabrasi - 6-6-2007 at 01:19 AM

At this point its the same. I have some issues with line weight and shading I need to take care of. I've kinda put it off to the side for now. When I get it completly finished I'll post it.
