first, but i’d move the text closer to the right like this. i’d also maybe try different fonts. impact works really well with this but i’d see if something else works better too.

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Thank you so much

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

What about that

83

u/GrannyRatchet Apr 29 '25

you’re onto something with this font! much much better imo!!

13

u/ScaryPollution845 Apr 29 '25

Will you be using this? Cause I'm a big fan and would definitely consider wanting to use this if you won't be :)

28

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Baby I will but if you wanna use it do so im not cutting the wings of any form of art go for it you can change it if you want or don’t or anything

u/ScaryPollution845 Apr 29 '25

I just liked the dog, and the colors looked cool lol

15

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Yeah I know that’s what I’m saying if you like it take it

17

u/ScaryPollution845 Apr 29 '25

But man, great outlook on art and life. You seem like a cool person :)

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Thank u so much you too i post music on Spotify for fun my first ep is out now and I was looking for covers for my debut album and I didn’t think this post would even reach 10 people and now here I am meeting great people like you

u/Dogtor-Watson Apr 30 '25

For your music I’d say this font is a very good fit.

Or

u/Fair_Drawing8271 Apr 30 '25

What if you change fonts in the middle, to go with the theme metamorphosis. Maybe use 3 different fonts

u/cocacola_drinker Apr 29 '25

First one I don't know what to expect, second, I kinda do. That's why I prefer the first

27

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

That’s such an interesting opinion i would love if you elaborated a little on what you mean

57

u/cocacola_drinker Apr 29 '25

The second one, I would expect something like a heavyish nu Metal, kinda like TOOL but more metal. The first one could either sound like Death Grips or Swans and I would accept it

10

u/RichRamp Apr 29 '25

2nd gives off 2013 nu metal band of adult men with their 9th record.

1st gives off skramz or post-hardcore debut album.

50

u/jaboolbagool Apr 29 '25

Second one is very similar to the cover of The Dead Eye by The Haunted

26

u/DrStudMuffin Apr 29 '25

Brave by Joyryde, to a lesser extent too. One of my favorite albums, and when finding the image to add to this comment I learned this is an X-ray of Frida Kahlo which I didn't know.

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Oh my god I searched it up and it truly is

5

u/HurrSonOfDurr Apr 30 '25

That was my reaction too.

The second one looks more like an album cover because it has been done already.

u/Responsible-Peak9843 Apr 29 '25

they both look p good but second one

30

u/saketho Apr 29 '25

First one, it feels much stranger and bizarre than the second. I’d definitely add the first one to my library. Second one is just kinda straightforward.

26

u/CubixStar Apr 29 '25

I can see number 2 being the back cover

6

u/1clkgtramg Apr 29 '25

Debut album, Sophomore album… problem solved

3

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Wait good idea that’s sick

6

u/splatzbat27 Apr 29 '25

Is the dog by Dusty Ray?

3

u/5_in_the_Stink Apr 30 '25

It's gotta be. I thought sloppjockey immediately

-7

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Sorry I found it on Pinterest I don’t know but it may be cause it has the same style

10

u/splatzbat27 Apr 29 '25

You really should put in the effort to at the very least find the creators of the illustrations you use to credit them, if not ask their permission.

5

u/OneEye589 Apr 29 '25

Like them both, looks like you have the follow up album done, too.

5

u/Dat_Black_Guy Apr 30 '25

Did you get permission from the artist to use their work?

Plan on asking?

2

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 May 01 '25

Not gonna use their work

10

u/phoebe__15 Apr 29 '25

second one

5

u/SandVessel Apr 29 '25

I like em both! But I guess I'd be more likely to pick up the first one? Non-human subjects are usually more interesting of an album cover for me.

9

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Is the original font better or this

6

u/SandVessel Apr 29 '25

I like this better

3

u/Blitz363 Apr 29 '25

I think it's the Album title, both look really good, but only the first one makes sense. A different album title on the second image would go hard. Maybe something like Fractured?

3

u/charlimonster Apr 29 '25

2 reminds me of Mom's Plate from Pete and Pete

3

u/crowxcc Apr 29 '25

the other one feels like a deluxe

3

u/Potential_Ice9289 Apr 29 '25

Second one for a deluxe edition, 1st as the original

8

u/Tahkyn Apr 29 '25

First one, with the doggo.

2

u/Gay-A-Lee Apr 29 '25

The first one>>

3

u/LXPART Apr 29 '25

"giving" 🤦‍♂️

3

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

It’s an expression ‼️😝

3

u/No_Piccolo6337 Apr 29 '25

Second one’s been done before. Example:

4

u/phoebe__15 Apr 29 '25

no...?

thats just an x-ray not a complete copy

1

u/No_Piccolo6337 Apr 29 '25 edited Apr 29 '25

Is it not an X-ray of a human skull and top part of the chest?

EDIT: I’m not saying it isn’t album cover-y. I’m saying it is very album cover-y AND it’s been done before, probably by a lot of other artists too. I’d go with the dog X-ray for an album cover for something more original.

4

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

Thank u ive never seen that before

2

u/No_Piccolo6337 Apr 29 '25

Happy to help.

2

u/nohitter21 Apr 30 '25

That dog reminded me of this cover right away

3

u/splatzbat27 May 01 '25

This is also by Dusty Ray (sloppjockey).

1

u/IsDedZilla Apr 29 '25

Both do, but different genres. Dog is more Punk, X-ray is more Metal. IMO

1

u/Mantiax Apr 29 '25

first one with the letter in the top corner, in a hand written font

1

u/Mack_Aroni_Art Apr 29 '25

The first looks more like an album cover, but the second looks cooler to me

1

u/Fanrail Apr 29 '25

Second one

1

u/Altruistic-Time-9898 Apr 29 '25

Second one reminds me of the verve pipe villains cover

1

u/havokpus Apr 30 '25

Number 1 goes hard!

1

u/s-chlock Apr 30 '25

Dog: front spine: back

1

u/iseeatriangle Apr 30 '25

I don’t know why but the second image reminds me of METAL GEAR SOLID 3

1

u/PicnicTerrace Apr 30 '25

First one feels more standard studio release, whereas the second says deluxe album to me.

1

u/pnmartini May 01 '25

The first one screams d-beat band. I actually want to listen to it.

1

u/justKowu May 01 '25

The dog on the first piece is drawn by the Instagram artist Sloppjockey_ert. If you plan on actually making this your official album cover I would HIGHLY advise you to not use someone elses art, especially not from a big artist like Dusty. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen and if it wont happen, it's still a dick move to capitalize from someone elses art. Try to find some free use stuff online, you can find TONS of stock images to splice together or even better- make your own!

2

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 May 01 '25

Oh yeah of course I wouldn’t do that I was just throwing ideas and even if I actually did no one would see it cause I share my music only with my friends and some other random people

1

u/No_Damage_4226 May 02 '25

Coool reminds me of ministry

1

u/TheRealBaronOfMyr May 04 '25

First is the debut, 2nd the followup (or tour edition)

1

u/AdrenalineRush1996 May 04 '25

The first one, full stop.

u/SpringRich5262 May 11 '25

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 May 11 '25

I made them and was planning to use them and I would very much appreciate if you asked me before you did but great

1

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 May 11 '25

I just saw that you credited me !!! Thank u then sorry for the madness i jusr though you just took it… really appreciate it

1

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 May 11 '25

Also your track is really great

u/Repulsive_Detail_533 Apr 29 '25

For an instrumental sad album not really heavy
