Manderly’s Meat Pies W.I.P.

This project required lots of reference pics. I started sometime in mid May 2012, and took 2 months to finish since i was working on it in my downtime.
http://www.stevennoble.com/main.php was one of my biggest inspiration sites.
I spent many hours browsing his work trying to decide the look i wanted for this logo.

I actually did a quick 3d render in Maya to make a reference for the buildings of white harbor.

Hope you enjoyed checking it out!

Finally finished this wretched design. The background took forever, since i did not forsee how creating the crenelations as a brush would make shading it a HUGE pain in the ass later on.

New things

Moved to dreamhost for their WP hosting and good so far. I have a ton of work that needs to be updated and uploaded. I’m contemplating buying a monoprice tablet (http://frenden.com/the-little-monoprice-graphics-tablet-that-could/) that fits the ratio of my newer monitor. My older Wacom Intuos is not a widescreen and ever since I upgraded monitors I’ve not been able to really use all the real estate. The price is interesting and reviews seem favorable.
