    Your prog artwork parodies thread (no AI plz)

    I've done some parodies of prog album covers.
    Here's the most recent one. The album is Jouer by Michel Normandeau (Harmonium member), but my version features the popular comic book character Antoine Depardieu.

    I made a parody cover based on Trilogy by Emerson Lake & Palmer. It's soooo obviously based on a photo, but hey, so is the original! xDDDDD

    To get that ultra cheap "plasticine shading" feel, I used a softer brush than I usually use.

    I don't think they did any more work on the actual album art than I just did.

    Another dumb one that I did was for Levin Torn White. I thought their cover was pretty boring,

    so I came up with my totally original not based on anything else idea:

    Here's one I did years ago. I was just fooling around and I wanted to do something 'Roger Dean' style. This is what you'd get if you ordered a Roger Dean print at the local Dollar Store. It was done using watercolors. Ultimately, I sold this piece to our pal Prog Geezer (RIP Buddy).

    Cool. Personally I think it's more in the vein of Rodney Matthews

    Monarch Tail - Why eh?

    Guess the best way to stand up against AI art is to create new non-AI art. So here's one!

    Is your version based on a photo of Emerson, Lake, and Palmer?

    This is the cover Roger Dean sketched for the long lost Kate Bush/Richard Sinclair album!

    No. It's based on a photo of me, myself, and I.

    I drew a parody of Ezekiel by Itoiz for a cover version of Ezekielen Prophezia.

    ^ I don't know the album, but I like your artwork here! BTW, Czyszy, is that "Done with PE" like "Made with PE" or "Finished with PE?"

    That's actually what I suspected, but I didn't want to be presumptuous. I like it!

    LOL! It has the look of a "Baby's First Genesis Album" type release. I can't decide which is worse: the title (and spelling of it!) or the cover concept and execution. The photo itself is horrible and unappealing!

    It meant "finished" like "I quit" but I came back so I guess it's time to change it. :P
