Cover art to my album 'Gone is the illusion '.
I have been waiting for this day to make this post. It's been long over due. The cover art to my album 'Gone is the illusion', due out March 31st.
The finishing touches were done by Brokemc. www.brokemc.com he did the coloring and final edits to the text on the drawing I originally did.
Here is the drawing, before hand, pencil & ink.
I'm very proud of the process this went through. I was going to knock this out by myself but it would have taken me forever to get it done. So I had to swallow my pride, and I'm glad I did because it came out fresh!
The concept behind this drawing is getting past your personal demons, the walls blocking you, and realizing it's all in your head. Thats what the focused face is about, completely tuning out the demons in his head.
The sand in his hands are those very demons turned to ash going through his fingers.
It was also influenced by the lyrics of the chorus of the song with the same name.
It goes like this "Ashes to ashes dust to dust, gone is the illusion the wall is crushed, when the world talks shit and you call it's bluff then gone is the illusion the wall is crushed".
Along with color schemes, the outer space background was really something that just felt right. Like that's how it should be. Just pure creative inspiration.
Gone is the illusion drops March 31st!
There will be physical and digital records for sale!
