I decided recently that I really hated the artwork I made for my "Everlasting" album and my roommate JP who has worked with me on my music before inspired me with artwork from one of his own EPs to just go ahead and whip up something completely new for it. Here I'll show you how I went from a new canvas to the finished product.
1. I started out with just a basic sketch of a coyote drawn in Sai, it looks like a wolf but either way it works.
2. I added an image of the Andromeda Galaxy just to give it a spacey feel... or something like that. There's actually 2 layers, one is desaturated, the second is colorized teal with a reveal all layer mask and a gradient applied to it.
3. & 4. LOTS of layering with grunge textures and stock images of old school maps.
5. Splatter Brushes
6. Cloud Brushes
7. Stock images thrown in of engine diagrams, sprockets and a compass rose, inverted then set to screen in the blend mode.
8. The final product. The font I used for Everlasting is called Jersey Stories!, you can get it from Dafont.com and the GOTA logo (hard to notice I know, I wanted it like that) is just the orignal logo designed with the Aristotle Punk font.
And there you have it, album art.
