sparklrtrailrheaven's art - *A.M.E.R.I.C.A / AFRAID*

[sparklrtrailrheaven 9,057]

so, I've never done any sort of graphic design work-- go easy on me! -- but I decided to try out a technique our dear @@Trash Magic uses (with much less success than he ), and made a few variant covers for "Methamphetamines" using a screencap from the video:

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm far from satisfied with the finished product, but it's a step in the right direction, I think! I'll take requests, too-- even if the covers don't turn out great, I need the practice 

 

(also, what photo editing program do y'all suggest? I'm using Pixlr online right now  )

technique? you mean the one he drew?

no, like the one he used to create his National Anthem cover-- using smudges to give it a kind of brushstroke-y look. I certainly can't do it as well as he can, but I'm enjoying experimenting

I don't know if I'm allowed to bump this, but I posted it at 3 AM, so it could use a bit more exposure

I don't know what to do next with this edit... it started out as an AKA cover, but I don't know. Suggestions?

Nope, unfortunately. I'm using Pixlr online editor, which kind of sucks/has really confusing controls, but my computer is hella slow, so

really excited because the mind-blowing sis @annedauphine has worked on a cover (a rather basic cover, but still) with me!: 

 

 

i took the screencap and did the minimal editing/crop on it, and good sis Anne picked the song and added the lettering! 

 

it's simple, but i highkey love it, so
