Dwarven Anvil Dungeons and Dragons Party Logo

Dwarven Anvil Logo Design Matt Lawrence Art

Time for a new Dungeons and Dragons party logo! I’ve been creating  some sweet logos for D&D parties lately, so I’m proud to show off my latest logo for D&D warriors Dwarven Anvil.

I started off this logo with a sweet hammer illustration, spending tons of time with stippling techniques to create shading. Stippling is a unique technique in vector art and looks great. I’ve done a lot of art with stippling, such as the Pra Rahu image in my portfolio.

I typically use brushes to achieve the effect, such as these awesome tattoo brushes from Artifex Forge (affiliate link, if you buy them I get a slice of the sale at no cost to you). In this illustration I decided to do the stippling work manually to see how it came out. I’m stoked on the result and it’s one of my best logos yet.

Here’s a detail shot of the hammer itself:

I showed a few progress pics to my artist friends in Community of Metal Designers and got some great feedback from master typographer Dominik Schäfer of Wappenschmied. Dominik’s work is phenomenal, and he seriously helped me step up my typography game on this logo. I started with a base font and a few alterations, but frankly it was pretty lame.

With some suggestions from Dominik, I worked on a bit of metal-style symmetry, thickened the font a bit and really took this logo to the next level. I created a sharper arc in “Anvil”, which let me move the hammer below the font for a more unique and fully coherent illustration.

This is one of my favorite logos that I’ve ever created, and the boys in the Dwarven Anvil party were super stoked with the result. Big thanks to Dominik and make sure you check out his work.

New year, new logo! Check out my tech/cyber M symb New year, new logo! Check out my tech/cyber M symbol in both titanium chrome and regular black and white. 

For those of you who've known me for decades, I've used variations on this symbol since I was about 14 years old and first started listening to heavy metal. 

I used to spraypaint this thing under bridges, carve into trees etc. I used to be such a little asshole. Now I'm a big asshole, and I'm back to using my classic symbol with my cyber style! 

Feels great to go back to my "real" symbol with this new logo. 

Like what you see? Want a cyber logo of your own? Hit me up!

I’m stoked to release my newest book cover for t I’m stoked to release my newest book cover for the short story compilation “Ending Bigly: The Many Fates of Donald Trump”. Out Friday on @terrorhousemag!

Ending Bigly is a great collection of stories centered around the idea of Trump’s life post-election. They range from actual speculation to sci fi to humor to poetry. 

My favorite is Trump joining a prison gang, which is hilarious and awesome. There are lots of big name underground authors, including Bronze Age Pervert, Lebanotarian and many more! 

Check out my art and tell me what you think!

Merry Christmas! Sometimes I like to see how I’v Merry Christmas! Sometimes I like to see how I’ve progressed as an artist, so I did a new version of my Christmas logo from last year. 

The 2019 model is frankly pretty crappy, but I also made it in about 4 hours. I gave myself a time limit on this one since I had to be done by today or the logo is irrelevant for another year. 

Here’s my refresh using my cyber style that I’ve developed over the last year. 

What do you think? Gigantic improvement or merely huge improvement??? Let me know how great I am in the comments!!!
