It's Time - Psychedelic Single Cover Art Illustration
Budget: $30 – $100 USD
Project Title: Single Cover Art — "It's Time" by Future Hippies of Punk
Overview
I need a human-made (non-AI) illustration or digital painting for a music single cover. I have an AI-generated concept image I love and need an artist to recreate and elevate it in their own style. The final piece needs to feel handcrafted and original.
The Concept
A vintage steam locomotive racing through an Old West town — but the front of the train is lifting off the ground, about to take flight. The background is deep space, dark and expansive, with a large planet visible behind the scene. The overall feel is dark and psychedelic — think moody, high-contrast, with rich saturated color underneath the darkness. Cinematic but surreal.
Logo Integration
The band logo should be subtly incorporated into the planet — the logo is circular and the planet shape should work naturally as a container for it. Should feel intentional, not slapped on.
Deliverables
Final image at 3000x3000px minimum (RGB, 300dpi)
Layered file (PSD or equivalent) for flexible cropping
Composition should work as a square but allow for vertical and horizontal crops without losing the core image
Export of square, vertical (1000x1500), and horizontal (1920x1080) versions from the final file
Style References
Dark psychedelic illustration, vintage Americana meets cosmic sci-fi. Think old concert posters meets album cover art. Not cartoonish — painterly or richly detailed preferred.
Timeline
First draft needed by April 4 with final delivery by April 7.
