Painting The Roses Red

Another cd cover design… I did the outlines on one layer, the colors on another, and the shadows on another… very different than what I’ve been learning recently. Not sure where I came up with the alternate universe Alice in Wonderland concept, but I think I had just finished reading the book.

The weird thing about this piece is that it looks very similar to some concept art Tim Burton did for Vincent. I honestly don’t ever remember seeing his sketch, but I must have at some point. I ran across his drawing about a month after I finished mine. So of course I assumed that I subconsciously stole it rather than thinking that I could have just come up with the same idea. I was proud of “my” creativity for a while. Either way, I think the finished piece turned out pretty good.
