I spent all day working on mixing the tracks for this year's RPM challenge album (https://rpmchallenge.com), so I'd like to share the poem I wrote for the track titles. Each line is the title of a song in the order they will be played. I didn't make a big effort for structure, and instead tried to describe the story arc of each track and the album as a whole. This was partially inspired by the way the band Red Sparowes did things. Text in the alt tag.
I wanted to make some album cover art that would represent my #rpmChallenge project well, and to learn some more features of Krita along the way. It was maybe a bit ambitious of a concept, but I think it came together okay. I was having trouble getting the text-to-path to work, but it turned out it was a beta feature, so I updated and got that going. I learned to use layer styles, transparency masks, and to create and edit bezier shapes and combined shapes.
I updated the song pages with more details, so I'd like to share my RPM 2026 album here now.
