As you can tell, the photo is of the HAT being half way obliterated somehow. I chose the HAT because his appearance is amusing and something different than i usually do, plus he's awesome. So far the only spoilers we get from this cover is the four named artists at the bottom. We now know that there will be a song from Skrillex, Deadmau 5, BassNectar, and Kraddy, however the songs from them is still a mystery.
THE PROCESS OF CREATING THE COVER
I know the exact measures of a cd coverbook, but i still outlined the shape using a ruler and coverbook from another soundtrack. Then I traced my desired picture using very lite pencil sketches.
I then went over the main parts with a darker pencil sketch, mainly over the darkest parts of the face and logo.
PEN SKETCH
Then i used a pen and traced over the head, body, and logo. As many of my closest friends and relatives know, I favor drawing with pen over everything else. I learned pen drawing from my middle school art teacher,and have loved it ever since.
PEN SHADING AND OUTLINING
I used a more inky pen to darken the pen outlines, particularly around the logo, then shaded in the completley black parts like around the mouth and the eye hole.
ADD A LITTLE COLOR
Normally I hate coloring, for some reason it feels like someone else's job and not something i should be doing. But i knew that someone had to color this. So i started coloring with your average colored pencils.
ADD THE FINISHING TOUCHES
Hallelujah! the last thing is a little detail and design, this is probably the first time i've put effort in an online design process. And yes I am happy for how it turned out, the only thing i dislike about this is the EP on the end of "step". I could've easily fixed it but oh well.
I hope everyone is excited for this album, and i promise it will come out soon. -Tom West
