Men Without Heads (2)

Men Who Lost Their Heads - alternative Cover, Version 1

Here is another picture I created for the new mockART album “Men Who Lost Their Heads”. I even thought this might work as a main cover because the tent of the roof would be a good place to put the band name and title. But in the end we chose another cover and this one was not included in the final artwork of the album that will come out September 3.

I even made other versions of the picture. This one I liked a lot as well so I decided to show it to you as well.

    We zijn zo gewoon aan het beeld van een mens dat je op de eerste blik niet ziet dat de hoofden ontbreken maar bij de tweede blik zie je wat er misis en onbreekt. Wel knap gedaan

      Zeer interessante observatie, Marylou.
      Bedankt ook voor je complimenten!

    Interesting these headless people. We like the first draft best because of the subtle colours.
    Thanks for sharing

      Thank you.
      The first version was also intended to be the original cover. After some discussions it fell through as the main cover altogether. Now we agreed on a picture that works even better. I will post it around September 3, when we publish the album.

    A thought provoking and striking image. It makes me revisit again, and rethink my “interpretations” – thank you for sharing.

      Thanks a lot as well.
      I’m glad that the picture is inspiring for you.

    Too many of them in positions of power. Excellent image.

    Héhé op het eersteczicht merk je niet dat ze geen hoofd hebben. Amazing!

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Ja, dat is niet zo evident. Ik denk dat je eraan gewend bent dat mensen hoofden hebben en daarom voeg je ze in je hoofd toe.

        Ja heel experimenteel 👍

    Je tweede ontwerp vind ik inhoudelijk beter en breder opgevat dan het eerste.

      Bedankt.
      Nou, ik speelde er een beetje mee en kwam met verschillende versies.

    I enjoyed these, Rabirius. I liked that one man’s dress.

      Thank you. 🙂
      Yes, men can wear dresses too. 🙂

    I prefer the seconmd desgin, it seems to be more balanced.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you.
      Yes, I played around with the elements a bit here. There also is a third version which I didn’t publish as it is quite similar to the second picture.

    Fun as always, Rabirius – but I enjoy it with the headless lady a bit more. I can see myself heeadlessly there.

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Then you are definitely invited. 🙂
      Thank you, Kim.

    Wonderful. I was hoping for a bit of formal wear.

    The yellow tie blowing in the wind, I like that …

  16. diespringerin Avatar

    And the color of the roses … I mean, I like both pictures, but those two details I especially like …

    1. rabirius Avatar

      Thank you. I’m glad that you like them both and that you also noticed the details.
