So now that people are starting to receive them… let’s talk about the wedding invites I did for Melissa and myself.

Digitally printed in full colour on 340gsm card, these are possibly the current peak of my design portfolio (don’t you love it when you get to save the best for yourself?). I spent several (as in more than 6) months on the illustrations for this, and a good portion of that is for the internal image.

Originally the image was more tied in to the design, and would have featured the details for the venues, but with a little bit of laziness and some rethinking, we decided to go with a layout that truly shows off the hard work that I put into these babies.

And the response has been amazing. So far I’ve had two people tell me that these are the best wedding invitations they’ve ever seen (hire me), and everyone has spent several minutes looking at the tiny details on the interior illustration. That alone makes me proud.

I’ll be publishing a post with some segments of the interior illustration in the next few days. So if you’re hoping to get a better look, then fear not… and stay tuned! I’ve published full-size sections of the interior illustration. Head to that post to check them out!

This illustration is another that I’ve done for our wedding invitations: specifically, this one appears on the cover, in a sort of homage to the original posters for the Back to the Future trilogy. I am particularly proud of the colouring and shading with this one: I am by no means a car fanatic, nor am I much good at drawing cars in general, but this one turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it to. All of the line art was hand drawn on a Wacom Cintiq, with the exception of certain parts of the delorean, which were done using line tools in Photoshop. I also used some free textures for the banding around the front bumper and for the stainless steel chassis.
