Chess is the best.

You will live for five years longer if you play chess every hour of every day until your 62.

Poster brainstorm

There's a Quitnow campaign at the moment and on their billboard advertisements it says "Smoking damages almost all your organs in your body.". They've used damaged parts of the body as some of the letters in the statement. Like, there's a blocked artery in the shape of an 'r'. It looks gross, as usual - highly effective. So this made me think that perhaps i could use my chess pieces in a statement on my poster. Couldn't find an image of this Quitnow ad which sucks.

Inspiration

Kitchen things...

No shading. Shading looks pretty tacky. all my pieces will be angular I think.

The final mandala

Owls

Owls always travel in pairs, so I created a male and female owl. Plenty of influences for their shape and patterning. I have used the original owl design (see 'My owl 2' post) as the shape. I made the owls slighty thinner, by pulling the wings in a bit. However, everything else is the same. If you look at the photo below, you can see dark brown pointy-hearts on his white front...

Using the Blob Brush Tool I made the hearts. Then made them into 4 swatches - 2 large (body, brown and purple) and 2 small (wings and head, brown and purple). See pattern below:
