Custom Type

Chrome effect made with a plug-in called Eye Candy.This is the original doodle



And here is some custom type i was working on for some Roy Batty/Blade Runner themed safehaven style thing last summer. Then i went out of steam and decided i wanted a different wording.
So this is still work in progress.
Even did one of those star thingies he always adds to his designs (although i think tribals are bad taste, lol).


Finally something i doodled over 20 years ago.


Still cant decide if i want it like this or in a more "quantised" fashion, with straight lines and everything geometric. This dilemma is really the main reason why im struggling with vectorising my old drawings.

Future Refractions 2049


Revisited the existing effect which was inspired by the water reflections in Blade Runner (both Tyrell and Wallace Corp. offices) and added a Nobu Design pattern, which is kind of similar to the Ennis House tiles.

Still work in progress, i think.

Holographic Snakes


Inspired by a post from the AI subreddit.
The idea is to use text as a pattern (along path) so it warps better to the curvature, which i combined with trendy "unicorn" (oilspill / soapbubble) colours, an irisdescent pattern overlay and more plastic wrap texture.

For a different version look below.

Two Rings, One Pattern


I made the rings on day one and added the rest on the following day.
Put a lot of trends, i've seen on the YT channels im subscribed to, into the piece (cyberpunk neon-colours, white text in a clean modern font, glitch effects, echo-text and vertical typography), while keeping a minimalistic look that follows a grid layout.
After a lot of editing and refining, i also made a melting version you can see here. This one was really tough to get right. The smaller pattern on the upper ring changed the colours visually too much, so i made both patternfills the same size.
I also wanted to integrate the melting effect into the rings, without overdoing it and getting the balance right, required a lot of attempts.

For the original, look below.

Im following a bunch of YT channels to help me crawl out of my graphics design burn-out.
