This is Skullberto, the unofficial mascot of sinistersea.com. He comes from an old Italian horror flick that fell into the public domain, Oasis of the Zombies (note: this is NOT a good zombie movie). The opening scene features two girls walking through an oasis, and the camera eventually zooms in on a skull hidden under a palm leaf (after spending a remarkably long time focusing on the "acting").
The skull caught my eye, so I decided to take a screen capture. I opened it up in Illustrator, applied a Live Trace, spent a little time cleaning it up and ended up with Skullberto.It's a pretty roundabout way of getting a picture of a skull, but it beats killing a drifter, cutting off his head, and waiting for the flesh to decompose, right?

Skullberto has an interesting story ;) I love the final version - just like you said, it goes well with the sea.
ReplyDeleteI think creating this blog was a nice idea, I've always enjoyed playing your games and getting some more info about the creator is cool.
Looking forward to more posts!
