Electro Samurai Cover

Cover art for my song "Electro Samurai". You can listen to the song here: [link]

I started with a rough sketch of one side of the Samurai helmet and mask in Photoshop. I then traced over the sketch in Illustrator, to create a symmetrical vector version of the mask. I then pasted the vector shapes back into Photoshop where I built up the layers of textures, shading, and effects to create the finished design.
