Mixtape Cover Artwork

[Bigram]

Here's a mixtape cover I designed lastnight. Its always hard to get first stages of the design started but then after its smooth sailing when I have things kind of in perspective. The photos of the 2 artist were shot by me as well.

Awesome dude, I love this. You nailed the tinting and the depth of field, which are the two giveaways of bad compositing. Good cutouts/masking on the foreground as well. Maybe add an overall grunge or dirtiness to the artists' layer so it doesn't appear so clean amidst the other elements.

Thanx Nick! :D I thought about that cause I added a little noise to them but its like I kept trying to keep the quality in my photography shots of them knowing it would have matched better if I would have made them a more ruff. I will change it before I send it to them to get printed.

Brah... that's a bangin' photo! You bring so much emotion to life in your work.

Thanx Mr. Doug..I really appreciate that. I try my best to bring out emotion and im still learning and trying my best to fully bring out emotion into my work. Thanx again man!
