Probably the most challenging illustration this year, and hence, one of my favourites - all in pursuit of Shibumi. Understated beauty is where it's at.
Text in 3D using FreeHand is no mean feat. I do that all the time and has become a breeze with some creative cloning and the knife tool. Perspective has a few simple rules and really only poses a challenge when dealing with curves in space.
In this case, however, we're dealing with curved objects in space, on a curve..
I had to call in the help of PhotoShop to get some of the perspective right.
From there, it was a process of filling in the perspective in the substance in FreeHand, and voila! :)
The finished product was used on a t-shirt for the Obsidian stand at Futurex SA 2005. Using traditional blue shirts for the authentic Superman feel. I preferred the image on black, however. Pity really..
*Update* Limited edition shirt now available at Obsidian
