Tex Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 I'm looking for a good artist to do album art/cover art stuff. Post a sample of your work here please. I did this wallpaper on this month. However, I can make an better work. And this wallpaper is very strange and bizarre. Anyway, what did you think?
Mazza Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 You want art samples? Ok then! Here's my random pencil art: http://home.ripway.com/2004-10/189900/My%20Drawings/Aristocrat(small).jpg http://home.ripway.com/2004-10/189900/My%20Drawings/Aristocrat(OldPhotoVersionsmall).jpg http://home.ripway.com/2004-10/189900/My%20Drawings/Boring(color).jpg I have also made a few cd covers. Here's one of the better ones: http://home.ripway.com/2004-10/189900/ZeldaSynthOrchestra.jpg Any good? EDIT: it seems that my ripway account has exceeded its daily download limit. So if you can't see these pics, don't worry, they'll be working again in the next 24 hours.
Hemophiliac Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 http://dkcproject.ocremix.org/misc/Kong%20in%20Concert%20CD%20Cover%20Art.rar maybe a little from pencil and paper to digital work here...http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/8276812/ and some traditional marker work: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/7237295/ i have Nero Cd Cover Creator as to save files in that format if needed as well as a few other cover design programs (i think). So the distribution format can be whatever needed....anyways, enough rambling from me.
Ichitootah Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 http://dkcproject.ocremix.org/misc/Kong%20in%20Concert%20CD%20Cover%20Art.rar Nice. Very classy.
Tex Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 "Rise of the Star". What did you think? Resolution, 1000x1000 pixels.
Mr. Bottle Rocket Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 That could use some burn and dodge in photoshop.
Tex Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Maybe. Anyway, if DarkeSword likes my work, I can improve it.
Vilecat Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Ooh, finally it's CD cover time. I wanna give it a try too <3 I don't have any real art to show though as an example of what i'm capable of (unless you wanna see school works =x ). I do have a few ideas for the cover. I got a question also : is it only for the front or we do front + back? Any restrictions other than it has to be in "printable" format?
DarkeSword Posted March 19, 2005 Author Posted March 19, 2005 Hmm...I don't see anything really impressive yet. Vilecat, school works are fine. It will have to fill out a jewel case for a CD; front, back, and sides.
k u n g f u c h i c k e n Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Sithlord to the rescue. I'll have something.
Vilecat Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 Oh ok, that's good to know. I haven't found many of my school works to be good enough to present, except the last semester project we have. But since it's a CD-rom, well i'm too lazy to take screenshots. Instead, i've found doodles and such of what i did in the last months. Image from a loading animation we had to do this semester. It had to be animated and had certain size and format restrictions. For some reasons, the colors are darker than when i made it... Must be the screen calibration >_<;; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/cthulhu.jpg Logo contest a year ago during a class. We had to create a logo containing a fish, a trident, a star, and the color blue. We also had to plan a space for the text to be written later. It had to represent an organism related to the sea. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/logoContest.png Random doodle i inked recently http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/kitteh.jpg The 2 pages of Kirby doodles i did way back in early November, when the project was still in developpement. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/KirbyDoodles.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/KirbyDoodles2.jpg This is the first pencil draft of the 1st CD Cover(front) idea i had for this project. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/Vilecat/CD_Cover1.jpg I might swap Sword Kirby and Fighter Kirby (his sword looks like a plastic toy ). I based the Kirby designs off Kirby : Nightmare in Dreamland, since it's basically a remake of Kirby's Adventure, from what i recall. I also plan to not keep the pencil outlines, to have results similar of MacHall's latest boards/comics. Title will be added above the picture. I'll have at least an other idea that i'll post soon (probably later today). Please i'd like to know if it's worth of working more on this, and if yes, your comments and/or suggestions.
StarZander Posted March 19, 2005 Posted March 19, 2005 I'd like to see something like this. I haven't decided on a background yet, and thought you people might give me tips on that. Also, the text might just be temporary, and the star will be edited so that it looks to be more in the foreground. This is just a first draft. Well, no more delay. EDIT: I tried giving the star an outline. That's the only update with this one. EDIT2: Those drawings Vilecat made are awesome. I guess I'm outgunned, heh.
Linearity Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 I'm good at drawing. I'll have something that you can look at in a few days.
Darangen Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 Wow, I like Hadyn's too. I guess it kinda depends what feel we want with the art. Maybe DarkeSword could shine a little bit of light on that aspect as well. But maybe that's something to worry about after we pick the artist.
KWarp Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 I need Photoshop dammit. <(>_<)> I like Haydn's Style. He's got my vote.
Tex Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 I guess it kinda depends what feel we want with the art. Maybe DarkeSword could shine a little bit of light on that aspect as well. But maybe that's something to worry about after we pick the artist. The art work is an deep point. I don't know. What's vilecat work? School works? How is your style? My work is still creative.
Hadyn Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 Your work's great txai - it's just not the kind of thing you'd see on a real life cd case, which is probably the kind of thing DS wants.
Vilecat Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 My work? If you looked fully at my post, i've posted a draft of an idea i got. It's near the very bottom StarZander, don't say such things, your Kirby's very cute Oh, btw i prefer the one with the borderless star, the other gives a "heavier" look. And Hadyn, that's simple but great =D I feel defeated.
Mazza Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 Here's my idea of how Kirby would be portraited in the cover art. I drew this Kirby myself btw. So no official art used (except that star): http://home.ripway.com/2004-10/189900/My%20Drawings/Kirbyriseofthestar.jpg
Hadyn Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 And Hadyn, that's simple but great =D I feel defeated. You shouldn't! I may be alright at photoshop, but for some strange reason i've never been able to draw kirby that well. Your work's great, I'd love to see what you come up with if you keep working on it ^^
Tex Posted March 20, 2005 Posted March 20, 2005 It's just not the kind of thing you'd see on a real life cd case, which is probably the kind of thing DS wants. You're right. This work is much better than the first version (For the front part). My work? If you looked fully at my post, i've posted a draft of an idea i got. It's near the very bottom Wow! That's really good.
DarkeSword Posted March 20, 2005 Author Posted March 20, 2005 I'm not asking for CD cover mockups. I'm asking for samples of work you guys have already done so I can discuss what the album cover will look like after I choose an artist. So don't make RotS logos or anything. Just show me a sample of your work, maybe a drawing of Kirby (which will not necessarily be used for the album cover). So far the only impressive stuff I see is Vilecat's, but I'm still waiting on more people before I decide.
