"Evilution" (1999), acrylics on illustration board, 45 x 45 cm / 17,5 x 17,5 in.
cover illustration for the CD "Evilution" by POWERGOD (Massacre Records)
Although this is rather a simple image, I am quite content with the intense colouring as well as with my self-designed sword. Unfortunately the illustration was cut on the CD-booklets (obviously in a fit of non-existing creativity), so that my signature and the lower part of the sword’s blade vanished and the sword was pushed a little to the right. So everything looked a little destroyed, and as some areas with clouds got lost as well, it looked quite unattractive on the CD. Pity...

You made that artwork!? I've had the album for a decade or so, it really feels odd to eventually meet the artist!
I agree the original frame looks better, although I don't think pushing the sword to the right was a big deal. On the cover, the Powergod logo is so massively prominent that it steals the details away (especially the swarm of angels).
Let's share with you my very first impression, from back when I purchased the CD: I really thought this was a digital painting.
Now that I know it's acrylics, I'm left wondering how you managed such smooth shading and that bright steely texture (not to mention the accuracy in the lighting direction).
