Ghosts or War T-Shirt

Ghosts or War

Revised version of Mother & Son, just because I`ve got some time on my hands this morning, and I`ve always wanted to go back to this one.

I like this colourway, and I`ve been learning the delicate art of halftoning. I`ve been enjoying the mix of halftone and sharp lines recently.

Hope you all enjoy too.

    Um … that’s me drooling over your halftones and your muted palette and stuff.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    And who taught me how to do this?? See what you`ve done!

    Thanks Mate, I`m enjoying playing with them. I`ve got a fair bit left to learn though.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Thanks mate, I`m liking this better than the original now.

    great work scott – the contrast between the halftone and lines works very well as a play of foreground and background.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    That`s what I was hoping for, so I`m glad it seems to have worked. Cheers mate

    Background and foreground work together really well.
    Looks like it should be a still from an animation – a rather dark one ;)

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Ohh how I`d love to be able to animate… I`m working towards that though.. Someday, Someday..

    Sweet Zombie Jeezus, sir, this is fantastic!

    As others have already mentioned, the halftones really work well in combination with the foreground figures, and I LOVE the white linework, really helps add depth to the foreground elements.

    Great stuff.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Glad you like it Simon. I`ve been really facinated with the halftone/line combination for a while now. Just trying to get it into action now.

    I had to go find the original, but I do think this sits better. Seems more complete for want of a better word.

  • najeroux

    Is it wrong to be aroused by art depicting the horrors of war based on it’s line work and creative merit? Does that sound as bad on the internets as it does on my head? Aw, i think I should shut up for a while…

    najeroux

  • Scott Robinson replied

    I won`t really think so, but I am slightly biased.
    Don`t go shutting up either, free thought comments are always welcome.

    the background has just made this extra extraordinary! The image was already so powerful, moving and emotional… but the background makes it feel more real.
    incredible work Scott. One to be so very proud of.

  • Scott Robinson replied

    Thanks Pip, I was hoping to bring it a little more context.
