Arcane Allies/Kombynat Robotron

Split

The artwork for this split came off the back of the image I produced for the Kombynat Robotron/Korb split, and was sort of a continuation of the theme. There was a bit of a brief around a bleak mining outpost from the Arcane Allies side, so I imagined a shuttle from the previous ship visiting the outpost that Arcane Allies described. Cue circular strip mined terrain and harder industrial shapes for the mining workers representing the Arcane Allies side, and the same kind of organic textures used previously for the Kombynat elements. Unipin on paper again with marbled textures scanned in and manipulated as part of the colouring and overlay. Did the layout work on this’n as well.

This came out on vinyl via Cardinal Fuzz, Pink Tank, and Little Cloud. Bonus content at the bottom of an early version I’d set this up before alterations where the colours are a bit more muted.
