Some really good pictures in there. How do you make them Do you draw them on paper,then scan them and color them or do you have a wacom tablet kind of device.

Thanks. I don't scan anything in, except for the images that have obviously been drawn -- the penthouse girl and the "other" one. I get images off the internet and make the images from that. Lots of editing and manipulating. For example, the MetalThrone shirt design seen there is made up of probably 5 different pictures for the skull alone (skull, eyes, gas mask, etc.)

Here is a sketch I did about an year ago,

Nice sketch. That's charcoal?

Regarding copyright, I usually end up with an image that is manipulated enough that it is hardly recognisable.
Also, I'm not making any money off these images. But effects and most of the stuff is done by me in Photoshop.

It was actually made with lead pencil. But I had a really bad scanner so I had to blacken it and apply a couple of filters in photoshop.That makes it look like charcoal.

Photoshop is amazing.

I was thinking about metalthrone not having a logo.This is something I made, this is just a cam photo, so not so good quality, there are 3 versions with just contrast and brightness variations. It is actually a sort of inverted trident, which makes the 'm', and there is a 't' at the back with a musical organ,used in ancient wars, called the 'sarp-shankh' extending across.:

Demon and damned to peace erstwhile denied,
Within the Abyss God's might had not immured.

I don't like it. What's a "sarp-shankh" anyway?
