Metal Band Cover Art - The Single 01
I was commissioned to produce art for a local metal band, the brief was to touch on influences from the BNWOHW and to fill the frame with others references obscure and more overt. This is the second of three pieces worked up for the band, with the other two as yet unreleased.
Final Single Art
And the final version of the Spinnerette creature. This is part based on early promo art for the band by other artists.
The figure sat watching TV is reading a book that features a clue to one of the bands influences, something we tried to show in the overall cover art design. I was a big fan of these guys growing up too, and their regular cover artist.
Details in this corner taken from another as yet unreleased bit of artwork for the band…
Some of the items scattered about where asked for by the band, others were added by myself.
Another early version of the creature, a lot more human here. The final version taking a little from both early versions.
Early version of the Spinnerette creature, a lot more monstrous here, but edging towards caricature.
