Today's been very productive!
I am pleased with this cover, it visually represents a very bleak and stark song of mine called War Criminal which was written about Tony Blair's last day in office.
This was another simple piece of work.
I took a portrait of Blair and experimented with different effects in the Blending Mode section.
I found that by putting "Colour Dodge" on the picture whitened the image considerably.
Next, I erased the few bits of blue that lingered in the background, brushing over them with white.
This left a very stark effect indeed.
However, I wanted to convey or at least represent the amount of bloodshed this man has been responsible for.
I created a new layer and filled it, using eyedropper, with the red of the poppy Blair was wearing.
To get the splash effect I then moved the layer between the background layer and the background layer copy.
I am happy with this.
