Here it is guys! This is the concept for the album cover. It's done all in water color. I'm going for murky, moody, and melancholy, in keeping with the overall theme of the project. It's also done mostly in blues, since deep blues tend to be associated with a feeling of sadness and brooding. I chose Mt. Tamaranch as the subject, since it's probably the most recognizable image from Link's Awakening.
Lurking in the background, hidden behind the type, is the Hylian crest, to further associate the image with Zelda. It's near-invisibility testifies to Link's separation from Hyrule on Koholint.
I'll probably end up painting more of these. This was a fairly quick exercise. I may also try to make the title look more Zelda-ish. The Zelda font isn't very good for long titles, so for now Garamound will do.
