Illustrator Lust: Christian Sloan Hall

Haven't looked at this illustrator for a good while. One of my main influences for being interested in illustration and designing for music/bands.

Attracts clients from a more Metal/Black Metal genre. Done work for Judas Priest, Dimmu Borgir, Danzig and Metal Hammer Magazine. Sloan Hall also has recently done work for Burton Snowboards.


I Love the style of the ink drawn figures digitally coloured and textured. I think it gives the sense of a comic book style yet it fits the design specifications so well.

Sloan Hall keeps to the general tastes of the heavy metal genre of music.
Checklist...

  • Dead/Decaying things
  • Lots of spikes
  • Lots of leather
  • Battles/Viking and Saxon influence
  • Anti-Religion
  • Long hair busty girls holding swords/ killing monsters/ not wearing much

Series of Snowboards for Burton (2011)

Design on the back of the Dimmu Borgir baseball t-shirt (My favourite shirt!!)
