This is client's inspiration but she wanted illustration background and something that will stand out from rest of the similar music genre. Also adding the cross at the end of the road showing spiritual journey.
Creating perfect scenic background that matches with artist's inspiration image with Firefly.
more samples for illustration background concept.
Artist's photo shoot. I like the orange hoodie shot better. It's facing the light and not creating any shadow on her face. Client like the pic w the hat, but you can see how it translate to illustration and shadow and glares don't work well with illustration.

Illustration drawing 2- this pic had a lot of shading and glare from the pic.
My favorite top 2 design.
Artist picked this design and typography but she didn't want her face on the cover.
