Steampunk themed album cover for a client - to be properly released around July/August.
It revolves around the group members putting together a Rocket-Ship from junk and scrap machinery available to them in a custom-built workshop, set in an open top observatory.
Completed Album Cover Art, painted with water colours and air brush.
Finalised Line Work, Prior to Painting. Drawn in Photoshop using tablet and screen printed on to 15 x 20 Inch Art Board.
Initial Rocket sketch alongside it's final, more complex line work.
The air/space-craft building theme of the album is inspired by Skunk Works - an official pseudonym for Lockheed Martin's Advanced Development Programs. I designed a logo reminiscent of the real life version to be included as an Easter-egg.
Airbrushing process - certain parts were covered with Frisket film which was carefully cut away with a scalpel, then air brushed with thinned down acrylics.
