OPAug 7, 2025Water GiverGOAT, and yeah your color grading as I've said few times before are so good and higher quality than the average "undergroun" person
We talked about drawing origins before but 2d digital art is harder for me to conceptualize, but I usually use AI as a tool to fill out a line drawing of mine, a 3d model representation I made or a self made digital collage to fully visualize it as like a rough draft/brainstorm then I'll re-do it myself along with additions - such as my cover arts of my album and singles in my TFIF music thread.
I love and best at font work and like texture background with digital graphic design - and I make all my singles artwork basically as good or with the standard as an actual album cover artwork, I hate how most single artwork is almost always ass and it's a pet peeve how they are like an after thought
I love the single artworks like how I do for myself as like a peek into the "world" and/or feeling of the song itself, like a simpler version of a music video in a way and like how album arts are suppose to be taking care. But with singles u can hone in more on the individual song itself and its own uniqueness whole album art is like the overall and encompassing thing
The first time I really remember single arts being taking serious was Kendrick Lamar's - The Blacker the Berry and it always stuck with me and how it made the song even more powerful

lot of folks just be diy and don't be caring bout their visuals like that and just wanna get the product out, which is fine too. There's no more rules to the s*** which is not a bad thing at all. S*** used to be gatekept and you had to fund a million dollars just to shoot a video.
I was an anime kid so 2d art was my first rodeo but over the years throwing it to the wayside for photoshop/GIMP was where s*** kinda started to go. But using AI as something to conceptualize I'm not mad at that at all. Especially if you still putting in most of the ground work. It is great to learn kinda how to do alot of this s*** yourself.
Nowadays I draw (very crudely) to get an idea out and then give it to a friend that knows how to really do good with a camera to bring it to life. This cover of this was shot by me in 2020 of a close friend cause I used them Trump bucks to get me a Canon t6i rebel but the EP I did 2 years ago was my homie bringing a (rather horrifically drawn) draft of mines to life.
You mention font work is a love of yours makes sense cause that Come On Over cover is nice dawg
I think the first time a cover really caught my attention was mr. Octagon himself

@op Finally got around to checking this out, and this best way I can describe this is some pleasant ass music. Perfect Sunday evening listen
Great beat selections, and you were tearing em up. Really appreciated your singing on here too. Don't Play With My Name, Sleep the Pain Away, Liberation Freestyle, and Summary were some major standouts for me, but this is just a fun listen front to back. Great stuff.
