Album Art for Spotify (Patreon)

I created an album cover art for BRKN HVN who's been writing and recording custom music and sound FX for Lyla's Curse.  They want to post the music up onto Spotify and I thought that was a great idea.  We've been working closely on all of the music over the course of the past like 7 months and have been very happy with the tone for the game.  I have a ton of voiced sound effects that I still need to put into the game but they're ready.

Here's some of the steps taken in case you're interested.  I forgot to screen cap my process on this.  -__-

I used a very different workflow for this image.  Here's the initial concept art wip of the idea.

It was a pretty simple idea to work with.  I used lot of different techniques to create this, mostly for fun.  For the background, I photobashed the sunset into a city and painted a lot of the features in place.  Then added noise to the image to help blend and give a foggy look.

This is where the process get's weird.  I decided to simulate the curtains in 3D and render them into the scene using Blender.  So I setup the cityscape as a backplate.  Created a glass plane in front of it using a shader that splits the light passing through it ever so slightly.  Then modeled up the curtains and used a cloth simulation to create a natural look to the drape.  Created a denim material for it and made it partially translucent.  Then placed a sprite of Lyla in front for composition.  I'm still new to Blender and doing this kind of 3D work so I'm trying to use it as much as possible to get used to it.  Most of my modeling experience is in CAD.

After I rendered the scene out, I got this result.  I was pretty happy with how it turned out.  It's translucent enough to let some light barely pass through the fabric.  Just enough to give a nice hue shift.

After this I put Lyla in front of it and redrew a portion of the sprite cause I didn't realize her legs were super messed up until now haha.

Here's the finished image as you see at the top after 4 more revisions of adjustments to brightness.

Also had to expand her loincloth a bit for modesty since it's going on Spotify ^_^

I'll post the link up to Spotify when it gets uploaded.
