Tribute to Hunter S Thompson

thanks to the dev for the daily deviation, i had no clue about it and logged in after like 2 weeks of not logging in to 700+ messages. I swear i got spammed or something..

1) its not meant to be deep thought out art piece with everything in place. It's just supposed to be fun

2) sorry about the brush credits, I have a huge collection on my drive and had no idea where I got any of them anymore but whoever did em thanks.

3) for those of you who don't "get it" it said San Francisco because it was shot in San Francisco (not las vegas) and for those who dont know who HST is, read a book

EDIT:
Uploaded without any brush or text art so now i don't need to credit anyone but myself =P

I like the colours!
They are pretty and summery.
However I think the black and red text/splatters doesn't really...fit with the picture somehow. If it was done in photoshop maybe play with layer settings to give it a more natural feel?
Great work and grats on the DD. :)

Hahah! Fecking love...I really like the references you've put together here, and the shot is superb. Nicely staged and lit, with a good feeling of energy and character.

From an illustration standpoint, I think the black splatters could be just a little more considered in order to complement the photo; while the type feels spot-on, they need just a LITTLE tweaking in order to achieve the same level of cohesiveness.

That said, I do think you've managed to approximate Steadman's singular style rather well; nicely done!
