Experimenting

These are some images I have taken that inspired me to create the background for my piece. At first, I was going to draw everything , but I wanted to try and merge two techniques together - in this case, Digital art and Photography.

Here are some of my results...

The third one was a drawing attempt, then I tried to combine some of my floral photography with my background photography ...

I really liked how this turned out, along with merging the backgrounds together, I also played about with colour mapping and the colour palettes, this one gave the cover a lot more of a dark twist which I really liked. Since I settled on this one,I decided to fix the clouds and the flowers to match and use it as my final piece.
