Just a small warm-up to get my finger joints moving. A fast 4-hour work just to let off some steam too.
Not too sure why I decided to make this piece as I have sworn to lay my hands off iPod walls. I guess the sudden inspiration to prove my disdain for iPod walls was too tempting to ignore. Looking at how iPod wallpapers tend to look sanitized I decided to make one that has a more gruesome feel to it. I wanted to add in a knife or cleaver since one of them died by strangulation but then decided against it as I think it might be a bit too gruesome to others. So, let your imagination fill in the gap on how the other murder was commited.
Ahh...I think I feel much better now. BLOOD AND GORE ALL THE WAY!!!
I wonder if APPLE is going to have my head for this. :P
POINT TO NOTE01. I-Pod walls place emphasis on simple representations of objects. Taking that into account, there is no need for me to concern myself with the accuracy of physical representation of blood on the surface unlike other vector walls. It is purely symbolic.
02. Serif font looks better and more interesting here than the generic looking arial/verdana font on gruesome scenes as they give of a mystery/detective aura. Please provide better font-type suggestions if you believe there is one and I'll look into it.
03. Blue-red contrast gives maximum viewer impact after having tried various other color types (red is the only fixed color when making selection.
EDIT: Removed textures from the red area. Should look more like blood than a "fluffy" carpet now. -_-;
