The Wings of Vengeance

The Wings of Vengeance
Now this is not exactly "a project".... it is actually some work that I've done from pure passion and with dedication to my other craze - Heavy-Metal music. This is the album cover and the artwork that I created for my band's second studio album, entitled "The Wings of Vengeance".
It's been quite some work to do, but it was from the heart, and the result was worth the effort.
Everything started from hand drawing (concept and sketches), tweaked and polished little by little...
The hand drawing and the digital manipulation went in parallel, as the ideas were not completely clear from the very beginning. Besides, I wanted to also include a hand drawn booklet containing the lyrics....so the drawings had to match the final product - which went through a series of transformations.
A few sketches of the initial drawings used to illustrate the songs of the album
...And this is how the drawings were eventually combined with the lyrics:
Although everything was designed as for a CD release, we agreed in the end to be a bit different and original - we released the album (including all media) on USB stick, nicely wrapped in a 90's style cassette box ;).
