The cover illustration of my Year21playlist
Every year on my birthday, I create a playlist to look back on the year. I heavily associate music with feelings and memories, so it's like a yearly checkpoint project for me. I design a fake album cover for each year's playlist, just to make it extra special.
This cover was created for my 21st birthday back in 2022, and I decided to go all-out on an illustration of a distorted version of my room.
I measured out my room and created a rough blocked-out version of the room as a 3D model, then used it as a reference from which to create the illustration. It was a time-consuming project and it was really only for me, but I like how it came out even now. I originally intended to also illustrate small versions of myself and my cat in the room, but decided against it, as the empty room with creepy eyes and hands looked much more ominous.
