I don’t usally get to design work for bands. But It is something I wish I could do more of. So I designed this fan artwork for the band “Demon Hunter”
Of an angelic warrior. I hope they’d like it and maybe even use it for a
gig poster or something. Much respect for this band! Copyright www.samphillips.co.nz
