Since I've learned a few more tricks with digital art, I figured I would use them to make another album art recreation. This piece is parody of The Specials debut album. Anyone who happens to be a fan of punk and ska/reggae is familiar with this album. If you're not familiar, it's definitely worth checking out!

This is the first digital art piece aside from the Mowhawk piece Iv'e done where I didn't do any traditional ink work. Doing the outlines with my tablet pen was a huge test of my hand eye coordination skills. The lines are still a little shaky for my likeness in a few areas. But overall I am very pleased with how this turned out.

Most of these characters I've drawn at least once before, so it wasn't too hard to get their likeness down.

Since the original album art was in black and white, I figured I'd make it pop with extra colors, mainly bright yellow and dark red. Also figured I'd play around the rude boy clothing as well. At one point I almost considered exaggerating the clothing with extra punk accessories and references to ska bands, but I figured this would have made the image too busy.

I also did my best to change all the song tittles into Loony parody versions. Some were left the same, others I couldn't think of anything good.

Here is the original album cover as a reference: sta.sh/02iysis3k9k
