For Digital Illustration, we had to create an identity packet for Brooklyn musician Heather Christian, who has a nice sound, and you should give her a listen. Sort of a Regina Spektor/Norah Jones type thing.
Anyway, I tried to come up with some motifs to use, and somehow I got the idea that she liked rabbits. The rest of the imagery was just a kind of "what do I feel like drawing" kind of thing. The answer: naked girls, gramophones, bathtubs, banners, holes, water, clouds, and rain. I changed my mind about the rain after having to draw a billion raindrops but I stuck with it.
Album art.
Disc design.
Postcard.
(This was originally going to be my album cover, but I thought the album needed something that filled the space a little better. I think it was a good decision although I got some great comments about this illustration too.)

Aaaaand poster. The raindrops gave me hell so I had to redo them digitally, and they kind of suck, but there was no way I could've redrawn all those raindrops again.
I got a great critique on this. Heather Christian came and visited the class to help critique, and she was really sweet and very enthusiastic about them. In fact it was one of the most positive critiques I've ever had, and after what I went through getting these done, I really needed a good critique. I'm happy with how they came out although I had a mini freakout when I saw the poster printed out 11x17 and realized how many mistakes I'd made with the linework, but no one else seemed to notice. I love the colors. I don't even know how that happened, but they're beautiful, and normally I suck at colors.
