Private project: Obelisk

This was a private project that I was doing, it took me a few weeks to get it to look like this.
The idea was for the project was grabed from the faimous horror game Dead Space, with the obelisk getting scetched on paper then scaned and moved to Adobe Illustrator for editing.

When I finished making the outline by using the pencil tool I proceeded to colour them in, I encountered a problem with the outline being smooth it didnt create the effect I wanted but after changing the lines techture I started to add the details to the obelisk by ading the famous glowing red text.
I drew the lines but in the end they didnt need editing and I proceeded to edit the body of the obelisk to make it more gloomy and old in a way by darkening the lines on it.
When the obelisk was finished I went to edit the background and made it look like a dark orb behind it to add that destructive feel. I added th finishinf touches by adding the explosive orbs to the sides, the sky was also a problem and I fixed it by changing the state of the lines making them seem very "disturbed".

And boom, you have a rather good drawing of a dead space themed obelisk.
