Hi guys, I have this guy online that asked me to do the artwork for his album cover. It's an independent metal band and he was very specific about what he wanted so don't laugh at the generic subject matter of the art. Anyway, all I need is for it to be colored. He said he's happy with the art itself. I'd do it by hand at this point, but I no longer have the means to scan it. Secondly, I'd try to digitially paint it myself, but all I have to do that with is this tiny Dell touchpad so I'm not sure how successful I'd be. If I can find no one else I'll have to try though.

Anyway, if any of you are into it and are willing to help me out I'd really appreciate it. I'll make sure you get credit for colors and if you need any further compensation let me know and we'll work it out. Just to let you know, I did the art for free.

Here's the original art:


And here's my attempt at a rough color guide. I'd like it to look vaguely like this but obviously more professional:


Thanks.

I'm pretty crap with digital coloring so I can't help(but I hope you have a much higher resolution copy of the original for the colorist to use?)

I just wanted to say that I know this guy who was asked to do a metal album cover... and... and like... it was pretty much the exact same subject matter/setting as yours.

So I'm wondering if I decided to browse the metal section at the local [music mart] if I would find a bunch of pictures of blue graveyards.

If they aren't mainstream releases, maybe so!

Yeah I have a higher res version.

So anyway rezo, are you gonna do the one that other guy asked for?

I'll take a swing at it, but ya, a higher res one would be nice. No promises by the way, I haven't done this in ages.

I checked and the hi res file is on my computer at home. I'll see if my mom can find it but in the meantime the above is all I have access to :(

Still willing to try anyway Shinryudan?

Nothing can be done with the smaller image. It simply won't print well at that size.

Oh, no, no, I know the guy who was asked. I wasn't. It's just that what he was asked to do was about the same as what you were asked to do.

Oh, crap, I read wrong, sorry.

Anyway, whee, hopefully I can get the file from my computer back home.
