step 6 of 8

Make a grunge background.
Start with a 2inch by 5inch canvas with grey back ground. Add pin stripe it in a random color and very thin lines. When done distort it and stretch it out to a 10inch by 10inch area. This one is small to show you what it looked like as it was being stretched.

Next I looked at the cover of the Thriller Album and with my mouse wrote out the name and title as best I could like it was on the cover on the grunge paper. Added some reds, whites and greens and blended them with the blend brush to make it look like it was painted with blood than aged and written again a few more time.

"I found out after I submitted this cover art for this contest one of my kids redone my wording. It was traced not done freehand like I had done. If this entry gets booted from the running because of that I'll understand." Thank you

Creation of The Thriller: Step 7

step 8 of 8

place the eyes from T-Rex in the guy. Use blur to bet the eyes as close to natural looking as you can.> Place the teeth around the guys mouth and warp to fit. Use dodge to make white. > Place the glass by the guys hand by his tie and cut off the top half of the glass and a few parts of the stem. Put in desired location and blur to make lines go away. Use warp than blur to get good look. > Merge it together than adjust the hue to get a lounge lizard look. > Add the cut out graves and drop shadow with some noise added for effect. There it is. 7 hours and lots of fun getting there.
