Shawn Finley's Illustration Blog: December 2010
http://shawnfinley.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 14, 2010. I should clarify. I'm. Not a rock star, but occasionally I collaborate with talented bands to solve some rock star-sized design problems. Such was the case in 2009 when Chicago band. Asked me to create cover art for their soon to be released album. I knew he was right about the colors- nothing matched the band's. Look Then I got the idea to pull shades of blue, aqua and black from the front cover photo to create some color consistency. Paul was excited about the new direction ...

Shawn Finley's Illustration Blog: Painting a Monster
http://shawnfinley.blogspot.com/2010/12/painting-monster.html
Thursday, December 2, 2010. Contacted me in 2008 to illustrate a story about a boy named Cameron who uses various night lights to keep the "monsters" away. It was a fun-sounding concept so of course I said yes! The final art incorporated rich, dark colors built up in Adobe Photoshop. Below are the layers from scene 3, depicting Cameron's firefly leaving the room. General shading, PJ. Light source, shadows, wall details, final text. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Shawn Finley's Illustration Blog: November 2010
http://shawnfinley.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 15, 2010. Back from the Dead. Wow, I can't believe it's been 2.5 years since my last post. Gulp! Suffice it to say, I got a bit sidetracked. But this does not mean I've slacked off illustrating. No way! If anything, it has been my most prolific period yet. I simply didn't feel like writing about it. However, it simply won't do to ignore the need to write. And now that I'm up to the task, there are many cool projects I need to catch you up on. It feels good to be back from the dead.
