reaganza23 Featured By Owner May 19, 2016

Awesome work axlesax !!
Can you provide the tutorial ?
Regards.

axlesax Featured By Owner May 31, 2016 Professional General Artist

Hi reaganza23, thanks for your support. I don't have any tutorial for this work, in fact the process is really simple : you need to make a basic & clear shape of the picture with a single or several threshold filters. Then the shape is re-build on top of that with words. That's all.

The key is to be really precise to get that clean effect, it requires time and many adjustments. Honestly this picture is kind of a prototype, I consider the next type portraits I made better than this one.

Well I'm flattered, dude.
Thanks for the credit, and your support !

Elvin-Hazel Featured By Owner Sep 17, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

My artwork was highly influenced by this one, a portrait of idol covered by typograohic words made by one of their song lyrics. Awesome idea.

You're welcome dude!

axlesax Featured By Owner Sep 18, 2012 Professional General Artist

This is the main idea behind the picture, and it's much more important than the technical appearance. I made some portraits of that kind, I may build some others later.

Wish I had more time to do all I would like to.

Elvin-Hazel Featured By Owner Sep 21, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Yeah, wish you'll have more time to do your great works again dude! Cheers!

Ahhhh~

So wonderfullll!

I wish I could contribute something artistic to this god of music. Off to listen to Kid A.

axlesax Featured By Owner Jul 21, 2011 Professional General Artist

Well... listen to Amnesiac ?

DarkByakko Featured By Owner Oct 16, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

Actually, Amnesiac wasn't all that appealing to me. I'll have to relisten though because it took me a while to get used to Hail to The Thief as well, and it's now my favorite album! xD

axlesax Featured By Owner Oct 19, 2011 Professional General Artist

In fact, I can't tell which one is my favorite. They're all fabulous but in different ways.

DarkByakko Featured By Owner Jan 25, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

I agree with that.
