Moonsorrow


Here is Moonsorrow, another band i like to listen too whih are seen as norse/viking metal bands, This one being the more true to the norse style and very strongly idolised for it. Not many people i know have ever heard of them but there pretty good.
There covers are very earthy and have consideration of lighting and shadows which is nice, i feel there very strong images more of a photography look than the last two bands.

Tyr



Tyr are another band of the viking metal genre, There use of muggy colours with cold tones really give of strong feelings of each setting. There visuals are very detailed with nice colour consideration. Again i like the colours and visuals and think they work very well.

Amon Amarth



So here im looking at the band Amon Amarth whos known for there "Viking"Metal genre. 
There album covers show visuals for norse folk tales. I notice the contrast of red and golds to the blue and purples which is seen in all of them, there very strong visuals and work very well together.
Love the rought look they have aswell. Very visually in powering. 


Beautiful design and detail.



Like this design, symmetric, detailed, nice use of colours which complement and are earthy.

Sketchbook update






Just sketching some ideas/things i was thinking about

The Graphic Tablet



So i finally am using my graphics tablet, iv normally used a mouse to do anything on photoshop the last 3 years so i felt it was time and this year seems fitting to try it out.
Quite hard to get the hang of it as everything goes everywhere so i think i need to change some of the settings.

Glad i finally got it out to see what i can do with it.

And here is house style 3.

Quite enjoy using a graphics tablet, never really used one before as i normally use a mouse.

Here is the second house style
