What about me? :cry:

*raises hand. What's good?
I need practice. Upload a picture and let me portrait you. :klin:
Well, it's not a portrait. It's artwork for an album cover. I'm looking for a unique painting (I already had one but it was my ex gf aunt's and we broke up, so bye painting lol) or some sort of abstract art that looks good and is tasteful and creative. A proper professional charges quite a bit and we're already spending too much on the production side. So i've contacted some people I know and so far no luck.
@ALC do you have anything you could show me?

Looking at what HAZEM does (1 post above yours) i'd say he looks like a good fit.

But don't you want a connection between the cover and the music?

Why not just a group picture (photograph) if you don't wanna spend big?

Wow, I dig your style quite a lot! I think it fits with what we're looking for. Here are some examples of some artwork we are influenced by:





You think you can do something like that? Let's take it to pvt. :klin:

I hate group pictures. Nothing is lamer. :D

Well, that's why I'm looking for someone who is maybe starting/student but is talented nonetheless and wouldn't charge an arm and a leg.

Yes, it should have some connection with the music. We got something of a main "theme" or concept.

Those examples are more about the idea than about the execution ;)
I like them, but they don't seem to be too hard to replicate from a technical point of view.



And yes group pictures can be kinda lame. :D but, being well executed, they
look quite professional without costing too much.

You hit the nail in the head there. That's exactly why it can't be a group picture. It doesn't have to be something complex, just creative border lining abstract and that doesn't look too modern or has that cheap digitalized look. It has to look "organic", for the lack of a better word. That's why I'd prefer a painting. Now you say it isn't hard, as in "I can do it"? :shifty:

It's the idea that counts :tup:

Can i do it? The first one looks quite easy (inb4 i just dissed some Worldfamous artist :shifty:)
Take a (B/W i guess) picture and paint over it. Prolly took him days to come up with the idea and then he made it within a day :p At least it looks like it. :shifty:

Why don't you create something on your own/ with your band? There has to be at least one who can draw decent :D remember - it's the idea that matters. Tons of artwork out there looks great but isn't exactly good from a technical point of view.

Try it, and if it doesn't work you can still pay an artist to do it for you.

Maybe even use a group picture as base, and work from there, like in the first pic.
Take picture, scan it in - add some filters and/or draw on it in PS, or, if you want it more organic ;)
Paint on the pic itself and scan it in when you are done. Just play around a little.

Sure. Do you have anything in mind?

Lol those 2 first covers are actually from German bands, so you're dissing your own artists :D

I did try. In fact I did do some good ones but I don't know. The whole blurred abstract mix of colors cover isn't cutting for us. And nothing resembling trees, forest or anything like that. Nothing that will make people think the green in the name has something to do with "green" tree-hugging, save the planet kind of thing, you know :klin: This is one of them, not quite what we want.

But don't throw up in the shower. You don't want to clear out the drain.

Planning to spend Xmas Eve in bed huh?

Me too. Was gonna go out then decided it wasn't worth the money I'd have to spend. Then a friend came over with a bottle of vodka :weee:
