Idea Development of Gothic CD Cover




These are the two images I took to start the gothic obscene album cover. I wanted to get the effect of skin peeling away from muscle and decided the best way to do this rather than drawing or doing with makeup would be to use the technology available and do it in photoshop. I overlapped the two images and erased parts of the first to show the second underneath as shown below.
It then came to finding the correct effect to create the effect I wanted. I tried oversharpening the image with the smart sharpen tool and I thought the effect was good but decided on the dark brush strokes tool.

Something still didn't look right and I decided it was the under layer I was using. Without any other science manikins I had to search the internet for a more suitable image and came across this.


I went throught a similar process as before first trying the smart sharpen...

Then the Dark Brush strokes. Deciding again the Dark Brush strokes looked better I added the band name and album name on in a font I found on dafont.com to create this final outcome.
