The second album cover idea....

For this one, the shading was all done traditionally, which again is unusual for me. I tried an odd technique which I just made up as I went along, in which I used a piece of tracing paper like an animation cell. The line work was done on one side, then the drawing flipped and the shading done on the other side. I quite like the resulting look, but I'm not fond of the my drawing on this one.
I feel my quality is going downhill of late... Maybe a symptom of overworking myself.

This would make an awesome back cover for the other one imo :D

Maybe your brain is kickin' more ass than your hands! XD Don't worry, they'll catch up! D

They're both nice designs... and everyone has "bad" periods every now and then... heck, I haven't had the CHANCE to draw or paint for... 5 weeks? now. What on EARTH i'm gonna be like when I pick up a pencil or paintbrush next time I don't know! >_<

In terms of the CD cover designs though... I prefer the other one, but I think you need to work on the colour... maybe a yellowy green or mid-ambery brown insted of the grey in the background...

I prefer the idea of this one, but the look of the other one. That grainy effect is cool, looks like it it on rough cardboard, which reminds me of the cover of Times Of Grace by Neurosis, although that was a woodcut apparently.

Nice shading. It has a haunting air to it I think
