The Drummer's Act of Devotion ~ Sleeve Cover

Share

Cover artwork that I drew for what will be the opening track of Tempus Imperfectum.


The concept is inextricably linked with the idea I had for the music: I envisioned the kind of prayer I would sing and play at daybreak, if I had the space to do so. The artwork serves as a vivid reminder of both the instrumentation I should use -- just a single drum and bells -- and the wide open, heart-thumping feeling this song is intended to have. Given my previous musicianship here on Newgrounds, I feel you know what to look forward to.


Autodesk Sketchbook, ~4 hours.

Aw snap, y’all got frontpaged. Congrats, friend! :D

Also, really quite impressive given that you effectively used one type of color to make a painting with such high dynamic range in terms of brightness, style, shape and vibe. Not sure if this is what you are going for but at first glance it looks like a winter wonderland, and the person is standing there in the center with their arms open almost like they are initiating a challenge or dare, as if they are saying “I can take on the world and bring warmth to it through music in spite of the cold and harsh that nature throws at me.“

That’s my interpretation, anyway. And again, as I speak of all of this totally within the context of this particular picture, the blue and white is a really cool approach, no pun intended; :)

Great job!
