Album cover redesign

So after scouring google images for a cool cover to re-design, I found this cover to the album The Isolation Game by an Italian death metal group by the name of Disarmonia Mundi. I really liked the monster on the original design as well as the dark feeling ( halloween is right around the corner afterall). SO I began by re-drawing the monster and background sillhouette in illustrator by using the pen and blob brushes. After I had it all in vector, I imported the image into photoshop and worked on shadowing and fixing stuff. While working on it, I had the idea to mirror the image and have one hand hold the human heart while the other had the original butterfly. I think it goes with the overall dark theme as well as fitting in with the loner vibe that a title like The Isolation Game puts off.
