Great stuff Wasteland 

[The Silent Cody]

Yeah, nice  But Wasteland, from where the title did came from?

[Zydar]

I guess it's from the line in OTBOA: "The dead end road to nowhere".

Looks awesome!

Shit, I didn't noticed that. Never paid so much attention on lyrics as everybody, I have to change it!!

[wasteland]

Second shot. Which one is better in your opinion?

[The Silent Cody]

Hell...definitly better artowrk on the second one, but there's only MMX there

Well, it would have been extremely hard to blend the group picture with the background, and besides, the whole composition would have suffered greatly. You know, in the previous artwork, the shape of the colosseum directly shifts and pushes the viewer's attention toward the image above. Furthermore, if you draw a line to join all the heads of the band members, you'll have the same shape of the upper edge of the building. So, that's definitely a strong composition. To try the same thing with a different foreground image, with different shapes, would have compromised the whole result, in my opinion.

And I could not include each member's single portrait, either, since most of them have the upper part of their head cropped away. -.-

So, I went with Mangini (the only one with Myung to have a full-head picture) alone, which is not completely nonsense, since the show was very much HIS special show.

Anyway, I like both artwork, but my preference leans towards the first. I like hot color a bit more, and definitely love the blurred lights/lines (which might allude to the "Blurring lines drawn in between what is right and what is wrong").

I totally agree with this, it seems that you're niw what You are talking about. I have no idea about photoshopping and any of that kind of stuff And of course it was special night for Mangini, no doubt

Great!!When it will be available?

[wasteland]

Within hours on dimeadozen, probably tomorrow here!! It has come out quite good, bobs23 has really been amazing 

[Dreamer81]

Yes!!!and for the Verona one?

There is a small issue with two tracks from Verona (TMW and Tragedy). As soon as Nick manages to fix it, then I will post it! Yet, I am not to make an artwork for that as well... There is someone else on Italian Voices who has been given the chance to prove his skills!

However, as I said somewhere (well, maybe I haven't), I just made a DVD of the Verona show. Today I'll start a graphic contest here: the best proposed artwork will be the official one!
