HipHop Style Challenge...

[Ross Macintosh]

In the 3d graphics forum RJ started a thread about trying to create CD cover art in a hiphop style. I thought he might get more interest here as the topic relates more to illustration than 3d graphics. So it is that we have a new challenge if you are up to it...

Design a imaginary CD cover for future big-time recording star: Scruff-Dog. His pic, as provided by RJ, is attached for your use. You can find lots of examples of hiphop style here if you aren't familiar with it.

Have fun!
Regards, Ross

Ross, you need to get down and get funky. Your image is too architectual and clean. It needs dirt and chaos, don't you think?

Maybe you should call yourself, Ross the Boss. Eh, no on second thought, someone beat you to it :-)

I too find my image too crisp - Particularly the billboards. I think I'll revisit the illustration.

Please do try this challenge. None of this too old stuff around here! The style features over-the-top excess - That can be fun! I don't listen to hiphop myself. (I do have one rap cd - Everlast's 'Whitey Ford Sings The Blues'. I really like it).

Yo, it woz few months and year ago, the last and first time when I was smoking a cigar. The service was quite funky, but the last day was a real hip-hop exeprience. Sorry for da lousy imitation of da cool language of da hip-hop'n'funky doodz, still, if you ever hear my accent you wouldn' recognize it from da Jamaican ;-). Peace!

It looks like this new music might have you confused. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] I thought I should advise that the Scruff-Dog and yours truly are not the same person. I'm much more handsome (sorry Scruff but you're a Dog afterall). The pic of Scruff-Dog originated with RJ Swift - it is some friend of his.

I like the hat you added. My hat has little 'Pooh' bears on it. Also, I never wear big plaid shirts - I can almost always be seen wearing a sleaveless 'muscle-shirt'. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img] (On the internet you can dress however you want).
