This was the second time I had the pleasure of working with Passionplay. Working on their debut “Self Titled” EP, the direction and concept came from the band this time around. I was happy to oblige. Fashioning the concept into tiles similar to a comic book, we went with three pieces. The idea is the subject is frantically attempting to plug up a leak in their small boat. But in the order of the tiles, you can see what actions they are trying to take are futile, seeing that there is a massive title wave that is going to obliterate them and the subsequent cityscape.
It was a real pleasure to work on this. Tried some new techniques on this project. Used this cross hatching and stipple to shade and relied more on more traditional brushes to create a light source and shade. The end result was a smoother finish.
