Yooo that swedish rpg!? I was only just looking at that in the scifi bookshop here in malmö last week, the artwork is absolutely insane! That's awesome mate, makes me really happy to hear that, hope the fonts fit right in!

[@spider00x]

@@SpearheadMedia Yeah homie! Im a layout artist and graphic designer - Check out Yohan Nohr's stuff he's the creator its fucking rad dude. The game has a free creators license so a lot of people make some wild Metal Art for it.

[@SpearheadMedia]

Absolutely awesome mate, I checked out his work there it's so killer - watched a KZbin video of a lad going through every page in the core book too, the design of the whole thing is stellar. Cheers legend!

[@Slamyourclam]

Welcome back brother. While you were out, I stumnled upon your work and it's very inspiring. I'm a corekid and a designer, so your content is just so far up my alley.

[@SpearheadMedia]

Love to hear that legend! Aye I moved around northern Europe a few times this year but I'm settled now so looking to get back into the walkthrough vids. Nice one pal ⚔️

[@Ryan.zaffarano]

i have spent the last few weeks watching all your other videos and was so sad that you hadn't posted in so long. so glad to see a new video and please keep them coming! this is the photoshop i want to learn!!

[@SpearheadMedia]

Hell yeah mate, stoked to hear you've been finding the vids helpful! I got a few more new ones in the works that I'll hopefully have coming out across the next while. Cheers legend ⚔️

[@Ryan.zaffarano]

@@SpearheadMedia if you have any knowledge on getting that super grainy and vivid color look that old school 1970s frp art could achieve i would love to see it.

[@zacshiffer]

Nice techniques on the aberration, and the final posterize to make it more easily printable. Looks gnarly. 👌🏻

[@SpearheadMedia]

Cheers mate! Yeah I love how a flat posterize at the end is like a super rough way of colour separating. Lil bit old school looking and fun ⚔️

[@zacshiffer]

@@SpearheadMedia For sure. Do you have the link for the 'Chromekit' layers styles you used? They look handy just for a base to further edit afterward. I don't see it in the description. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing your expertise around brother

[@SpearheadMedia]

My pleasure mate, I really hope the vid helps with a few tricks for your design work ⚔️

[@altaydogahan342]

@@SpearheadMedia it sure does and I will refer to this video time and time again. I consider this as a perfect practical tutorial even. It includes everything from your attitude which acts as a directional guide for the feel of the design- to how you think through your methodology pushing the design more and more to the extreme with each step 🤘 next time could you include the track list as well and how you work the typography? Cheers dude!!

My pleasure mate, I hope the videos help! And thanks so much for the kind words. Respect ⚔️

[@NathanielBTM]

I kinda liked the blue logo at 15:21 better, it made the band logo pop and was discernible, playing into the colour scheme of the piece as it started to blend into the purples of the art at the bottom. the purple logo blended in a bit too much, was a bit daunting to try and read or look at and make out. still a great piece at the end of it.

[@SpearheadMedia]

I like the gradient one too! The band asked for chrome so that's what we went for. You can see in the final version we went more for a steel effect that pops out nicely ⚔️

[@Pr0v0kat0r777]

This is ridiculously cool, i've searched for the content like that with trashy metal designs. Author makes it look easy but i'm a noob and looks like this is a bit too complicated to me, when i warp and stretch parts it looks silly. Anyone can give me some advise/stuff i should look for to get myself on this level? TY for content!

[@SpearheadMedia]

Cheers legend I really appreciate that! Yes, sadly this type of tutorial is fairly advanced and fast (as it's about 6-7 hours of screen footage sped up into 20 mins or so) but keep working at it and you'll be flying in no time! I highly recommend Charley Pangus's channel - he does super informative and indepth tutorials for merch design and goes deeper into some of the processes I've used here in a very clear and easily understandable manner. Hope that helps and best of luck with your design work! ⚔️

Bro do you have advice on how to get work like this ? I currently work for a vape company but I wanna do something more of my style ( merch for hip hop / metal )

[@SpearheadMedia]

I started out just getting super involved in my local music scene and then touring around Europe playing hardcore and met loadsa sick people along the way and started doing merch, artwork and logos for my mates bands and continued on from there! That sounds like a sweet gig with the vape co, but i feel you, definitely always an urge as a creative person to pursue the art style you love most. I would recommend getting involved in your local hip hop and metal scenes and offer artworking services to bands and artists you dig!
