Lots and lots of Skulls

Okay, so recently i have been trying to learn how to draw skulls, and more importantly in a way that is my own kind of style. I figured I would use the fact that my band could do with a decent poster as a chance to whack out some skull sketches.

I think it was Godmachine's work where he mixed up and eye and a skull so that idea has been playing on me a little bit I just obviously didn't want my sketch to be a straight copy of his drawing. I got the idea for the tentacles of Ben Templesmith, bless him and his squid fixation.


For months now I have been thinking about drawing this particular image up, but it never clicked in my head that I could potentially use it as my bands poster, I dont know why but I just didn't make the connection between work and band.
The idea is a skeleton in an old fashion divers suit, down in the dark and all alone. I got the idea after walking past my brother watching Mythbusters and seeing that if the air tube was cut on an old fashioned diver suit the whole body would crush into the metal helmet due to pressure, gruesome stuff. Ever since ive been planning on drawing that. here are some sketch ideas.
