Metal Band Cover Art - The EP

I was commissioned to produce art for a local metal band, the brief was to show a scene of a bar fight in a post-apocalyptic setting already developed in the preceding art, the fight had to have a woman punching a guy, as it was reflected in the lyrics. I got to have a bit of fun with the crazy masks the gang members are wearing and with their tattoos. The card art in the foreground is clipped out of previous art I’d done for the band. This is the third of three pieces worked up for the band so far, with the first pice created as yet unreleased.

The final rework as sent, band logo and other text added by the band’s design/publishing team.

A small range of thumbnails based on the brief of a fist fight in a post-apocalyptic bar. Just subtle differences in viewpoint in some of them, finally settling on the one in the top left.
