Description
Some lips. Some biting lips.I did this illustration for the cover of a Sydney Uni magazine that I design as part of my job (I do posters and other designy stuff). I have to be really quick with work stuff...I'd love to spend heaps of time on them, but basically you've got to punch out a different poster/artwork every day. Sometimes I compromise detail in design with wtf-value eg. one poster featured 70s disco puppets with comedy masks shooting lasers out of their eyes and hands. Another featured a lobster, a hot dog, and a man with a bucket on his head all wearing medals on podiums at the Olympics.
Anyway, I quite like how these lips turned out. I might chuck em on a shirt one day. They're sufficiently shiny. Thought I'd share

It looks awesome. It resembles the lips in Rocky horror picture show.

They are indeed shiny I've heard that about illustration jobs, though - you can't really afford to spend a lot of time on them, even if you'd like to

Well...in the time I've been there I've done a few things I really like, but overall I wish I'd had a whole week to do any one illustration. It's always busy! But I do enjoy it

I really like this, but I can't quite articulate what it brings to mind.
Awesome none the less.

May I ask you, which tool do you use for making this kind of art? Something like Adobe Illustrate? I love this art style!

My laaaate reply: I started in Illustrator with the pen tool, then took it into Photoshop to add the burning/dodging/noise effects

melting strawberry chapstick is what I thought of first hahaha, BUT you should totally go watch rocky horror picture show.... it will definitely inspire you to make some cool stuff and I want to see what you create from that experience I am sure it would be epic.

Making these Tim Curry's lips? *shudders* haha. You know...I've never actually seen Rocky Horror. I know...everyone always tells me off. It's just never happened.

This would be an awesome cover for an electro cd. Just saying

Let's start an electro band called KISS, there's no band by that name I'm sure.

Ah yes, you're right. Also people think Rolling Stones pretty quickly too.

Nothing like a good lip-bite.
You probably should turn this into a t-shirt

I wouldn't wear it, but I would appreciate it from afar. Lol.
