WAD: Cover Art
dan is still working on selling the distribution rights for We're All Doomed! so i decided to make some DVD/Blu-ray disc jacket art!
this is my attempt at a traditional jacket design! none of the images used are mine, but i did create the concept and design:
Tumblr media
as i was making the first one for myself, i was struck by the fact that 'well, it's for me, so it doesn't have to look like a stereotypical jacket cover' which led me to be more artsy in my approach for the next one:
Tumblr media
i was really enjoying the creativity and space to explore, so i went looking for more inspiration for a third design. this led me to dan's favourite Muse album: Origin of Symmetry, which i paid homage to:
Tumblr media
after the first Muse album, i looked at their catalogue to see if there was more inspiration there. i was just thankful dan's favourite was easy stylistically to mimic, unlike say, 2009's The Resistance...
Tumblr media
thank you @danielhowell for the inspiration!
nerdy stuff & reference pics below the cut!
General notes
i don't know how to use photoshop! i entirely brute-forced my way through the whole project, and the only tutorial i looked up was for the gradient text in the 4th cover
this wasn't even the original project i was working on! you'll eventually get to see that though
and this one also inspired art for the disc itself so stay tuned 👀
i will do anything for authenticity so these are Full of intentional details
matching fonts is a nightmare
the traditional cover
took the longest, as it was the first.
the barcode numbers are the date of the first video he uploaded on dinof, and the last tour show date (in m/d/y)
i changed 'iceland' to 'poland' on the front cover, as he never actually went to iceland, and poland wasn't ever on the list even though he did go there
the orange may look a little off-center in the front, but these designs need to include space for a spine between the front and back cover, i promise it's right 😂
the black and white cover
inspired by the 'i want to believe' aliens poster
the cover art comes from his metal band merch shirt design
i had to manually shrink the text, line by line, and ensure it all lined up on the back!
i even made the logos on the back greyscale
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the Muse: Origin of Symmetry cover
a shockingly perfect style for a WAD cover. i'm so glad i used the cubes, even if they couldn't be orange.
there's some versions of the art online where the sky is even more orange and it baffles me how i haven't seen any parallels like this before
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the Muse: The Resistance cover
this cover was never supposed to see the light of day! i meant it when i said i was grateful i didn't have to try to adapt this complex design... and yet, i tried anyway.
i did all the grid lines by hand, including the jagged/broken edge parts, shading each section, and then drawing every star.
the hardest part was getting the gradient on the back text to cooperate. photoshop's gradient settings are surprisingly limited
gotta shout out @amazingphil for being the reason i knew what this cover looked like--it's the only muse album i knew the art of before embarking on this quest!
Tumblr media
obligatory sob story:
i've been extremely and suddenly ill for 6 months. it is difficult to function moment to moment, but especially in doing little things just for me. this is the first and only art project i've been able to feel inspired to not only work on, but to finish, and despite the pain and long hours, i enjoyed every minute of it. thank you, dan, for creating this space for me to explore, and thank you, everyone here, for being wonderful support during this time 💞

[ID: a grayscale art piece of Gwindor (torso up). The background is entirely black and he is depicted as merging into the background, as his hair and torso are almost indistinguishable from the black background and his face his heavily shaded. The left part of his face includes a circlet that is keeping his hair back. The right side and the middle part of his face have hair strewn all over, some more intense shadows, and scars. Overall, he is looking forward with a tired and slightly apathetic expression. End ID]
Even though, for sure / You won’t remember me. / No, you won’t remember me.  tolkien vibes pt 2/?

HashiMada Week Sneak Peek is here! 
Our merch designs are revealed along with two additional surprises! 
🔥🍃 Merch🍃🔥
Seven unique 3-inch matte stickers based on a prompt from each day of the week.
A 4-inch wooden coaster available to anyone who completes all seven prompts. The wood is sealed so it can be hung up as an art piece or used as an actual heat and water resistant coaster!
🍃🔥Surprises🔥🍃
1. As seen above, there are now SEVEN sticker designs in addition to our wooden coaster grand prize item. Now for every prompt you complete, you get a sticker! Everything but duties/VATS/tariffs are free for participants (includes shipping!)
2. We will have a big cartel shop open July 9th-31st so everyone who doesn’t have time to make content can still get some hashimada merch! Everything will be sold at production costs, no profit will be made.
For participants who make content but don’t complete all seven days (or want sticker duplicates), you can buy individual stickers and still qualify for free shipping since you are a participant. Russian buyers will have their own form to fill out since paypal doesn’t work in-country. If Ukrainian residents/refugees DM us during the open shop period, they will be provided with a special discount code. A separate post will be made to go over the various forms, don’t worry!
The FAQ/Sicker FAQ forms will be updated with the new information!
Our amazingly talented artists! Please follow them on their socials and support their work!

[ID: the first image is a digital drawing divided into three vertical sections. In the leftmost section, Maedhros is positioned as if falling from a great height into fire. He is shown from the side view. In his right hand, he holds a barely glowing Silmaril. His eyes are barely open. In the middle column, at the top, is Earendil steering a ship and Elwing behind him, holding a Silmaril to where his heart is. Her eyes are closed and his are open but unseeing. Below them are Elros and Elrond. Elros faces the left, eyes closed. Elrond faces the right and his eyes are open. Both twins have colored lighting on them, Elros red/orange and Elrond blue. In the rightmost column is Maglor, who is throwing a Silmaril into the sea, though his face and lower half are obscured by ocean waves. The second image is a close up of Elros and Elrond’s faces. End ID]

[ID: the first image is a close up of Maedhros falling, focused on his head and torso area. The second is a closeup of Earendil and Elwing at the steering wheel. The last image is a close up of Maglor’s head (obscured by a wave) and torso as he throws the Silmaril. End ID]
maedhros’s face is shown because we know his end fate. maglor’s face is obscured because we don’t know if he still wanders, if he chose to cross or what.
earendil is on the left, because he wanted to have the fate of man (death) and maedhros, who is on the left, dies. elros is the twin on the left side for this reason.
elwing is on the right side because she chose immortality, same as elrond and maglor.
she holds the silmaril over earendil’s heart because he becomes the vessel for the silm, essentially.
additionally, the wheel has eight pegs to simulate the eight-pointed star of the feanorians---it was because of the feanorians that the two met their fate.
elros has his eyes closed compared to earendil and maedhros because his ultimate fate is unknown.
while maglor’s eyes aren’t seen, they are covered and elwing’s eyes are closed. Elrond on the other hand has his eyes open, because he’s the testament to everything that’s happened. He’s watched and learned whereas elwings fate was fixed for her the moment she picked up and wouldn’t let go of the silmaril and maglor has cut off most other fates from his path.
earendil’s clothes are hues of blue because he lives forever (like maglor) and elwing’s are red/pink tinted because i personally think that she had her first death when she jumped and turned into a bird. at any rate, both she and maedhros fell off high surfaces.
elrond and elros are greatly colored by the light of the waves/fire, to show that as children, they were sort of the recipients of what happened to them (aka mae and mags).
maedhros’s silm is the least bright because it is dying alongside him; earendil and elwing’s is steady because it’s found a new life, and idk how to describe maglor’s other than surviving.
