Hey guys, I'm an album cover artist.
I was recently asked by Animal Collective to make an album cover for their new record that's coming in 2016, here's what I spewed up. They told me that they wanted a dog on it, and they wanted it to be weird/psychadelic
I tried my best, what do you guys think? I have an alternative cover that I'm finishing up in case this one is disliked, ill post it later.
I need you guys opinions before I hand it over to ANCO

i can't see this being an AnCo cover
It needs ron jeremy jizzing on a pizza hidden somewhere in it.
>>60536257
They wouldn't want to repeat that same neon flashy artstyle they've already done, they change styles very sporadically and this is something they've already done
Here you go OP. Send them this.
Yeah I see how it's a little too flashy
Here's the second cover I just finished. This one I guess has a little less colours
>>60536406
this is much better, but it could have more stuff on it
>>60536406
i can see that being one of their album covers, thats actually a pretty dope cover
>>60536399
kek, i wouldn't put it past Dave to use something like this
>>60536481
like ron jeremy jizzing on a pizza
>>60536406
this one is superior in every way

>kek, i wouldn't put it past Dave to use something like this
I wouldn't either lel. Their cover art as a whole is really hit or miss. Some of that shit is so ugly (CHz original especially).
OP again, was just looking through my old shit I have made and found this one I was making for Bassnectar, he didn't use it
Do you think this would work for anco?
>>60536652
It's a good cover for Bassnectar, animal collective not so much
Which album by his was it that you were designing for?
>>60536406
As a person who bases the music he listens to soleley on its artwork, I would listen to this

>>60536481
>>60536488
Nice then, ill send them the cover now. Thanks guys
Hopefully they'll use it
>>60536706
Cozza Frenzy. He chose that elephant cover instead
That's awesome you got that opportunity, but that image looks kinda amateur, I know that's your intent, but it just seems kinda bootleg.
>>60536257
woofie woof
Dogs are shit tier animals and pets
>>60536839
I agree, I was pretty tired when I was making it (2:00 am) so I guess I didn't put much effort in.
People like the other one though, so that's good
>>60536406
Yeah that's much better than the OP. If I saw that while scrolling through bandcamp I would probably check it out.
>>60536406
This would be excellent if you removed the second dog. It's repetition distracts from the other one. The top right dog being the only focal point on that nice cloudy surface would be pleasing to the eye. Good stuff.
>>60537007
you sure?
>>60537071
I think so. Also perhaps try bluring or distortinv those semi transparent lines somehow. Their straightness is a tad out of place. But still that's a great album art. I'd listen to that for sure. How did you make the background?
>>60537071
Ohhh I know how about centering the lone dog just a tad more. Like near the middle of the box it's in but not too much. Like just a few nudges down and a few left. Maybe?
>>60537203
Like this?
>>60537182
I photograph an image of a tie dye pattern that I made on some white fabric, then I brighten it a bit and overlay it in the background, along with some film grain. It gives a nice texture.

Forgot image
whats going on in this thread?

OP is asking for feedback on his album covers that he has to make for Animal Collectives next album.
All you had to do was just read the OP
Okay now I'm gonna dump a bunch of covers I haven't given to any artists yet. Feel free to steal any.
