For the job of a Mortician, a few things came into mind. Namely soil,ashes,hearse, the morgue and embalming. Hence I tried to use all these elements in my designs.

This sketch was to allude to the morgue but it was too graphic.

This was the tools used by a mortician but it looked too much like a make up artist.

I tried to use the hearse but I felt that it was rather boring and could be very much associated with a funeral director. Although a mortician might sometimes do the job of a funeral director.

This was made with ashes from burnt charcoal, and although I found this concept interesting. It was hard to tell the ashes were ashes.

Hence I finally decided on a Y-cut autopsy which came after a conversation with my friend who watched too much CSI.

I used a stitch brush to write my name out. I wanted the font to be subtle as stitches arent usually so obvious. I also wanted a sense of realism.

To create this image, I tried my hands at using special effects and making the cut by hand. I followed a video on youtube, and ended up with this :

Which I then heavily edited as it was too fake. It was pretty fun trying to do it though!
