Aren't we all?

Music is art, it's not surprising that people get inspired by it.
Whenever I'm working, whether it's designing for customers or just having fun drawing, I'll listen to music.
Music often influences my designs, especially when I'm creating abstract art or when I'm playing with textures for Toribash.

This is an experimental game where I post atmospheric and melodic songs which YOU will base a head-texture on.
We'll compare the designs, try to find similarities and talk about what inspired the choices we made.
The game is made to train creativity and (hopefully) spark it.

And there are prizes, hell yeah!
Each round, the winner will receive a redesigned head made by me (or other volunteers) that they can sell.

Suggestions for songs can be sent to me via a PM.




RULES

01 Don't post your WiP nor finished head before everyone's finished.
This is to prevent copying.

02 Base the head on the song and the song alone, no references.
Obviously.

Just remember that restrictions spark creativity and you will be fine.





ROUND 01

Jon Hopkins, a legend, he inspired me to go through with this idea.
Mostly because I am aching to base something on his music.
For round one, I've chosen Open Eye Signal from the album Immunity.
I'm not going to talk about the music itself, it's on you to draw inspiration from it!

I'm an artist.
I'll try :S
I get alot of colour from music, but not much in the way of content or form.
worth a shot though, should be a good design excersize.

Thanks, Matt.
Hopefully more will follow your example.

I'll join in the fun as well but won't "compete".

im only getting colors.

mostly falls back on previous shapes and styles because of the whole mapping/ making a head thing
yeah, gotta say, what Ive got sofar is taking alot from previous works, atleast mapping wise.
mostly taking stuff from tone and ambiance

That's not bad, I really like it that you're experimenting.
The falling back on styles is something I figured, it's safe and very logical to do.
Also, I think that's good! I can hardly ask to change a style for every different song, although now that I think about it that might be awesome.

I was figuring that mostly the design and usage of colours would vary per song.
I hadn't even thought that it might even change the style of drawing too.
This is food for thought for me!

I'll start mine either today or tomorrow, am very excited to see what will come up and what you made!

I'm feeling a luminescent lilac. Will finish up something while I take a break from this disastrous duel set.

Monobi, please don't reveal anything about your work before we're done.
I'm starting today, hopefully I'll have it finished by the end of the week.
Thanks for entering, everyone, means a lot. Hopefully this'll turn out as a fun event that we can continue.
