➤ Simple Guidelines

➧1. Include the original album name, author and year of release. If you do not know some of the required information, state that in either the title or top-level comment e.g. [Author/s - Album Name (Unknown Year)]. The reason we ask for this information is that you can only search on the content of post titles, not comments.

➧2. No low-effort/low-quality posts. Posts made to c/albumartporn are expected to be of high quality and have serious effort put behind them. The album cover should be clean, not have any urls/website watermarks in them.

➧3. Be Original

➧4. Be respectful. Harassment, abuse, name calling, and/or threats of any kind is not tolerated here. Any content, whether an image or a comment, that includes any kind of bigoted language or hate speech will be met with a permanent ban.

➧5. No off-topic Content Never post anything that is off-topic (i.e. not album art) or that contains gory material.

➧6. No spam or reposts. Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities. In addition, please wait at least 3 months before reposting an image that has already been posted to c/albumartporn, and do not repost from the top of all time.

➧7. No advertisement or self-promotion. Do not use this community to advertise or self-promote. This includes (but is not limited to) websites, articles, blog posts, and brands.

➧8. No memes, gifs, videos, audios. Just album covers

➧9. Tag NSFW Posts · Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit”. Gore, both human and non-human is not allowed.

➠Feel free to report any content that does not respect these rules.

Granted I do not follow the AI art scene or anything, the artstyle itself doesn't seem like AI art I have seen. It just looks like a digital painting. With that said, other than the fact that I cannot find any information about where the art for this album had come from or who made it, there are a few odd things about it:

  1. The beast's right hand has one finger that is oddly much longer than the others. Similarly, its left hand (while partially obscured) seems to have only one finger.
  2. One of the beast's horns is much more curved than the other. As far as I am aware, the horns on an animal tend to mirror one another rather closely.
  3. The weapon being held by the human seems to have a flesh-colored handle or something. The angle at which it is held in the hand is also not quite realistic.
  4. On the human's right hip, that appears to be an elastic waistband, which does not seem era appropriate.

What tipped me was trying to following any of the cloth line work, it's nonsensical and tapers off into nothing. The weird side claw from beast stomach seems not deliberate. It rendered the mans hair in ridiculous detail but let the beast tail smear into the background. The man's hands are being influenced by the claws.

Then I couldn't find an artist attributed to it, and finally it scored a 99% for Midjourney on sightengine.

There could be artistic choices being made, but consistency is all over the place, an artist skilled enough to paint that hair, but half ass a tail? Probably not.

I'll donate $10 to a nonprofit of their choice if anyone can attribute this work to an artist.

People asked Borgore about the art work here, but no response. I suspect it's probably AI too.

Yeah, album cover artists are usually credited on the album notes - radio silence here, and nothing in notes. And really, anyone painting this would probably have it near top of their public portfolio, would be a great show piece.

I don't know who the artist is but a musician called Borgore used it as an album cover
