Description
The second album cover idea....For this one, the shading was all done traditionally, which again is unusual for me. I tried an odd technique which I just made up as I went along, in which I used a piece of tracing paper like an animation cell. The line work was done on one side, then the drawing flipped and the shading done on the other side. I quite like the resulting look, but I'm not fond of the my drawing on this one.
I feel my quality is going downhill of late... Maybe a symptom of overworking myself.

Thanks! I'm afraid I'm too busy to take on new projects at the moment. You could use this one if you wanted though, it's an old image that never got used so I don't mind.

Fantastic work. I'd buy this album, whatever it is, and then I'd complain that the music isn't as good as the cover.

Nice work - the colours give it an interesting atmosphere. And I think that the anatomical '

Well, you might not be happy with your technique on this, but I think it's a pretty evocative cover concept. Nice work.

I prefer the idea of this one, but the look of the other one. That grainy effect is cool, looks like it it on rough cardboard, which reminds me of the cover of Times Of Grace by Neurosis, although that was a woodcut apparently.

They're both nice designs... and everyone has "bad" periods every now and then... heck, I haven't had the CHANCE to draw or paint for... 5 weeks? now. What on EARTH i'm gonna be like when I pick up a pencil or paintbrush next time I don't know! >_<
In terms of the CD cover designs though... I prefer the other one, but I think you need to work on the colour... maybe a yellowy green or mid-ambery brown insted of the grey in the background...

I personally like this one more than the other one. I think I like the look of being pulled out of a slump or something like that haha. Interesting technique you used, it turned out great.

Dude, the very fact that you're generating output is inspiring to me - wish I had that ^__^

I assume you're not supposed to say who these are for, but are these for a well-known/signed band or someone you know?
I think it all looks good, except there's something a little odd about the face, neck, and shoulder that looks a little odd.

Yeah, it's really anatomically bollocks. That's what I get for drawing without reference.
It was going to be the cover for a sort of compilation raising awareness about global warming. Not sure how much I can say, but it's a big project with a small budget. Some quite big bands were being talked to about it, but nothing's confirmed yet.
