Artist research - album covers

This post presents the references that helped me create my major project. I want to present album covers of the bands I listen to, so I decided to include them in my blog as an artist research. For a long time while creating my pieces, I struggled with the colouristic and the composition of my works. I have tried to implement some of the elements from the album covers into my work. 

For example, tool's album cover and Dry Kill logic's were a huge inspiration for my acrylic painting in both aspects of creating this work. It means I used the concept of using red and blue as a contrast and the concept of including many eyes in my acrylic painting. Also, looking at Dry kill logic's album cover, we can notice a face in the right corner that inspired me in both of my pieces to present a mysterious person in the dark.

 The ink drawing was inspired by the album cover of Alice in chains band called Jar of flies in the colouristic aspect. In the final outcome of my ink drawing, I would like to include one more colour besides black and white to make my work more dynamic and chaotic. I believe this aspect may make my work more interesting for the audience and it might be keeping eyes. The inspiration for the disturbing faces came from the album cover of III Nino, as on their cover is placed some kind of creature similar to the skeleton with a modified head that would fit perfectly in my ink drawing piece.
