thanks for the comments. and yes i do need to blend the kid in a little more with the image, i am working on it and will post the progress by tomorrow.
as far as the concept of the cover goes - the album is about this child that is born in the 1st track and the album follows the kids life through his various difficult moments until this person's death in the final track on the cd. there is not one happy moment in the album and its all about difficulties and life being a shithole.
what i wanted to show with the cover was this person's life in a nutshell. through out his life he was never comfortable, all he ever felt like was a little kid, scared shitless of things around him and never being in control.
the blood does look cheesy but that is what i want. i want the red paint splatter to distract you from the image. i want the viewer to wish that the splatter wasn't there because it keeps getting in your way.
more comments will always be appreciated. thanks for the help so far. i am still working on it.
