THANK YOU!

the skulls are pngs i found on the internet (i think, im not sure). My technique to do highlights is basically just different adjustment layers (like exposure) then i make the adjusment layer a clipping mask onto the layer and then invert it so i can draw them in with the pen tool,i also use some overlays to make the light really pop and then for more realism i make the glow from the butterflies and eyes of the skull reflect onto nearby objects! (using adjusment layers again and drawing them in where i think they're needed)

The font is "Deutsch Gothic" it's on www.dafont.com !

that's so insightful, appreciate a look into your process. i've always had a hard time with artificial colored highlights but your method is definitely worth adding to the arsenal!

very cool but the top left is empty

very dope! like seriously professional good job. if a lot of your work is like this you should send some emails to some labels try get a job

People are saying top left is empty but I like the minimalism
