theShad0w

This image took quite some time to complete, and I really tried to pay attention to details (more than usual anyways).

One of the hardest parts was to take a satisfying picture of myself that I could integrate into the context convincingly.

Also, this piece being called "theShad0w", I wanted to give a real importance to the whole "shadow" aspect of my pseudo.

I wouldn't say that this image captures my identity, because I'm really not the dark and brooding type. I just seem to enjoy creating these scary and mysterious atmospheres.

Oh yeah, the pool of blood is actually meant as a sort of warning to the character (me) of what's about to happen.

I really wanted to thank a few people for their work, which helped me create this image :

- Most of all, ~happeningstock for his incredible stock photography. His picture really was the perfect starting point, and without it, I probably never would have completed this project.

- ~Shad0w-GFX for his awesome blood brushes, and for possibly being an inspiration for my pseudo back in the day.

- The good folks over at stereo-type.net for creating the "Marcelle" font, one of my all time favorite decorative fonts.

Hope you like it ! Feel free to download the full-sized version to check out all the details.
