Raskol apparel has had great success with many of my illustrations. The Mythos line has been very well received and this is a continuation of that line. The pitch here was to keep the colors down to one, but still have my signature expressive dense lines that can show off the power behind these timeless characters. Beowulf being such a classic in Nordic mythos and Sagas it was a clear choice. However I wanted to change things up a a bit, I wanted a pose that was emblematic to his lore. Here he has Grendel's head after cutting it off with his blade. A slight change from the story, but still one with a visceral finish. VEGR is old norse for Glory and power. The type was a custom and had to fit not only the style, but still retain the Old runic appeal. Overall the natural progression from sketch to vector illustration, and final product were conceived by me. Having a clear strategy of what a product is and how it connects with an audience is key in my design thinking.
