20 - My Music Artwork process
It’s my pen, paper, photography, and editing. No machine learning or generated slop.
The point of making my own artwork, is that I want to make this project completely my own and use it as a way to better myself in many aspects - TIME is the only investment I make into my solo project (not taking into account instruments, strings, software…). It’s not the best artwork, nor the best for my music, but it’s the best I can make at the time of me making it.
My works are done on paper, photoscanned, and only processed via blend modes against a library of textures that I photoscanned (image) or made from scratch using Procreate.
A good example of what you can make merely from random textures and blend modes, is the background for The Final Chapter. This is 100% made up of a few photoscans of rocky textures, using different blend modes to bring out splotches of color. This is a very random process so it takes a long time to experiment for a decent result.
THE COMPLETE COLLECTION
This is from back when I was making logos for Arcadian Alone, and took one of the contenders into album artwork.
Done on paper, photoscan, Procreate refining and extension, then edited in Snapseed.
It’s now the cover art for the Bandcamp compilation containing ALL my releases.
