Cover for Polly and Handgraves

I've been getting adventurous with Photoshop of late. After doing the cover for The Spaghetti Strand Murder in browns, I wanted to do the cover for Polly and Handgraves in blues:



The clouds in the background are a first for me as well. I did the using the lasso tool.

I was inspired by the Kino Video rerelease of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari:



The film's director Robert Wiene had originally colored the film itself in different colored sepia tones. Kino and the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv of Germany had taken the original 35mm prints and restored it with the original sepia tones and if you ever get the chance to watch it, the results are amazing!!

But that was the look I was trying to do when I was creating the cover for Polly and Handgraves
