Obscurity, The album cover.
A lesson in non destructive editing
I created this piece in Photoshop using a variety of layering and blending techniques.
I've included the source images below this creation for context.
ABOUT THE ART
"Obscurity" was created through a challenge to create an album cover inspired by music that I enjoy. As a result, I was listening to Metallica. Having recently seen them in concert, War Veterans immediately came to mind. As a civilian it's difficult to understand what Veterans have seen and been through; thus obscurity was born.
