Elentor posted:That looks dope Thanks so much  It's true what you said about the worst part about art, the finished work can be easily digested and forgotten by most. Also annoying is the usually low payment amount that people expect to pay for a finished piece, which sometimes amounts to something like $5/hour all told. gently caress this art poo poo, I'm gonna be a welder or electrician or somethingThis was for a stoner metal band (huge surprise, I know), and they wanted an icy windswept world. I do lots of covers for doom/stoner/sludge bands, and I love the genre but goddamn there are so many overused fuckin tropes on album covers (wizards/cloaked figures/astronauts/any sort of thing that Sleep or Black Sabbath already used). "Icy world" is overused itself, so to add some kinda twist to it I researched interesting ice formations a lot, like hard rime ice which occurs when fog descends onto a mountaintop and freezes instantly. Definitely brings to mind a frozen tidal wave: https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/12/spectacular-ice-formations-atop-a-windswept-mountain-in-slovenia/ Skulls/bones are also super overused, but I dunno, nothing can ever be totally original. I added stairs and other mysterious crap to it, looked cool so all is well. I def did a hell of a lot of detail on this, I love doing little mazes and such. The pen and ink work on this (before adding digital color) is on a 14x28" piece of bristol, meant for a wraparound album cover for a record. One of the cool side effects of the resurgence of actual vinyl records in this and other genres is that you get to see the detail of the art much larger on the packaging. I have other work I'm more "proud" of but I wanted to share something new!
