When layed out on the merch table the rainbow seamlessly moves from one cover to the other

Large buttons that glow in the dark.

Also the vinyl itself will be limited edition green with dark green splatter ::)

I remember you asking for advice on the cover art months ago.
It's still good.

Tshirts #1 and #4 are my favorites

>>262753
Cool shit. It would be cool if you replaced the beam in this image with fumes in the same colours. Just a suggestion, but imo light doesn't really fit.

This is fucking cool OP!

I really like the album cover and the Alternate T-shirt Design.

>>262780
That's pretty smart I might do that

Good stuff OP
I also do merch fo my bands and was wondering,
why do you have 3+ singles with different covers?
Marketing or just weird label requests?
Also, are you printing all of those or the singles are just for digital releases?

So fucking wonderful! Really love it all. T-shirts #1 and #4 for sure, and I hate white Ts.

>>262753

Taking another look, the only thing I'm not crazy about is how the rainbow on the first single cover comes out of nowhere. Since it's glass I feel like it should be coming from the liquid, or somewhere fixed. Like how on the hands it's anchored to those holes.

The lab equipment just doesn't feel as strong 'cause of that imo.

I like the fume suggestion too.

Fantastic colors overall though!

>>262752
I like it, but you seem to have received enough dick sucking. So I'll give you a dose of reality.

Colors seem a bit desaturated, and lack contrast.

Line work seems sloppy, dated and flimsy, call it style if you will but it's a matter of perspective.

I get a child like vibe from the line contours, they don't resonate the sleek, ergonomic and chic look and feel of professional graphics.


So sorry, that all said, I do really like it, I just needed to say that stuff.

oh hey I remember you.
nice job, the 1st single cover is boring but that's just one thing

>>262753
I think the thin lines don't fit in with the rest of the artwork. You could make the cracks a bit thicker. That and the bottle is too geometric, so it also feels detatched from the rest. My opinion.

>>262812
Thank you. It's tough when all I can ask is my friends for opinion.

I 100 % agree with everything you said. I'd go back and re do it if I could but It's already printed.

Thanks. The publicist for the label is releasing 3 songs off the album before the whole album drops. This raises awareness and makes it more likely to get a larger number of write ups. The Elixir single will come with a music video.

Similar to Tame Impala's new album

>>262805
Also no the singles won't be printed just viewed online.

i really like the illustration work but i hate the typography...the fonts on the tshirts are really not fitting


>>262761
also you fucked the back cover up in terms of layout and consistent typography...all in all it seems like you are a great illustrator but a not so great graphic designer

>>262885
While I disagree with the font thing.. Because cooper is rad as shit.

Everything else you said is totally true... And things I have thought about. It's nice to see people say these things because it makes me feel like I'm on the right track..as in I'm happy I noticed these critiques on my own.. But it's validating to hear other people agree on how to be better next time.. Dunno if that makes sense

looks amaziing maan!! :) you're a boss and a great artist!! good work

itd be cool if they gradually get more and more textured, like its not that bad now but it ends up really old and flaky like.

sorta like what harry potter did with its logo in every new movie

Shieet man, tone down on the grain a bit,

>>263045

Man that is one ugly cover

>>263046

Em, mixing a grotesque like Helvetica with a Woodstock / hippie font is not the brightest choice.

Just my two cents.

>>263045
>>262753
>>262754
>>262752

I think you could tone done the distressing and noise affects on your images just a tad. Unless the point is to be really distressed and a shit tone of grain in that one other cover

>>262752
Looks sweet. Like the third cover and the second t shirt.

What font did you use for the t-shirts?

>Because cooper is rad as shit.

>>263193
not OP, but I agree, cooper IS rad.

Oh yeah, guess I didn't read the thread properly.

Poster for venues on tour

It's used a lot in the west coast garage rock scene on flyers and t shirts. I wouldn't use it if i was going for a more business-professional vibe

And the post of yours I'm responding to is the coolest shit you've posted. It's great dude.

>>262752
it is all really really good. i like how odd and how confidente the color palette looks throughout the graphic project. the linework has personality and consistent illustration-wise. the one thing i would call your attention on is the cracks on the elixir. the thickness of the lines are GREAT but you could have studied more on how cracks really look realistically and illustrated. there are some connections and angles that dont serve full crack. nonetheless, i dont know you anon, but im really proud. this is great, thanks for sharing

>>263559
Thank you! If i'm honest I'm losing steam on this artwork. I made the original album back in September last year so it's sort of like going back and drawing in a style I feel like I have progressed from.

>>263874
which is why those cracks look like i spent 10 min on them..because I did lol

>>262975
I agree with >>262885
Personally when I was schooled I would have been crucified if I would have used cooper on anything. Its a gimmick font is what they would say. Other than that I think its pretty good. I like the distressed look so i'm on board.

>>263466
Photoshop mostly. I've moved more to illustrator these days

dude, those looks fucking neat! great work

>>262878
God the TI covers are amazing. Nice stuff op really digging it

dude you're making my heart hurt :'). You must have ordered through the whatever forever label. I wasn't sure if they had anymore or not. I'll text my buddy that runs the label to double check. email me at [email protected] and i'll make sure you get a pinky!
