The third and final release from the prolific and experimental music collective The Neverending Mixtape. A triple album release. I created the album covers for two of the three albums using Unreal Engine, Blender 3D, and Photoshop. 

The first album cover (I call it the 'coffin cover') the environment was created 100% in Unreal Engine. This allowed me to treat the cover as more of a photoshoot sourcing props, lining up shots, and creating the perfect lighting setup. I then created and lit the gold border in Blender 3D and brought it all together in photoshop. There I edited the lighting and compositing details to create a more painterly effect such that one might see  this image hanging on a museum wall.

The second cover (dubbed 'the dig site') was more of an ambitious undertaking. Created 100% in Blender and composited in Photoshop. The goal was to make the cover seem like we are viewing a military dig site uncovering some ancient important leviathan object that came from a time before ours or possibly from space. The miniature feeling of the equipment, buildings, and vehicles really give the sense that the scale of this object is something we've never seen before.  

Tasked with creating a worthy send off for the music group that has been recognized as one of the more noteworthy underground music movements of recent years I was instantly drawn towards gold and marble and an almost museum-esq approach to creating the art. I wanted to create a sense that these albums are actually bigger and more important than one might realize on the surface. The death of a movement.
