Another book cover for Polish publisher "Fabryka Slow". Done entirely in Photoshop whit few references used. Main battle was with anatomy in this twisted perspective. I couldn't find any direct reference for that so I had to put few pieces together to make it look right

Any comments most welcome]]> Tue, 06 May 2008 09:01:05 +0000 http://omen2501.cgsociety.org/gallery/610801
