The Morning Star
The story behind this one is actually pretty funny - the design started as my tattoo idea that i was thinking to produce for myself for a long time. Once i started working on it and the design was done in black n'white i've decided to make a colour version. This somehow came out in a chat with Pete and after that become a poster/wallpaper design.
The initial idea was that image of proud native american, fighting for a lost cause. One thing i was trying to avoid was to paint the character as a guy with a plume. This how the idea of proud, broken spirit lion came to be - a warrior.

Production
Fun fact: the image was painted as black and white for the tattoo design - and it was actually used like this on my own arm! The colour and other elements came after.
