DT12 v. WDAWAIISOIT8V&CSTOE pt. XII

[MoraWintersoul]

Yeah, if he keeps honing his instagram skills his pictures will look like Riverside artworks in a couple of years 

Hey hey hey now! If you touch my beloved Travis Smith artwork, cities WILL burn

Add me in. I'll join you. I love Riverside's artwork.

You're in.

[wasteland]

Hey, but I love their artworks too!

Travis Smith has made lots of great album covers for many great bands - Katatonia, Amorphis, Opeth, Anathema... As a Finn I especially like his works for Amorphis, he managed to capture the feel of Finnish mythology really well in those cover arts (unlike the guy who came up with the cover for Thousand Lakes! ). While I'm not a Riverside fan, their covers look cool as well.

I want to hear the harpejji on the album Dammit.

Yes, but not just a half assed cameo. If there needs to be, then there needs to be an Harpejji-driven song. This I say.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES x 100000

[fadetoblackdude7]

I don't even know what the Harpejji sounds like lol

I just saw this astract picture on facebook. I wouldn't mind DT entering a bit further in the abstract domain for the artwork:

That looks damn good but I don't think It would fit in with the other DT artwork.

[cyberdrummer]

Yeah but who would have said the SDOIT artwork would fit in?

[TAC]

6 D's is my favorite cover.

[MoraWintersoul]

Mine too. The only thing that annoys me about Dream Theater today is that you always know what to expect of them. Who would have expected FII after Awake, or Scenes after FII, or 6D after Scenes? Now I think half of everyone who posted in the "place your bets" thread will get everything right.

Yeah, I know there's that stage in every band's career and I don't expect to be in perpetual state of being surprised by every album I listen to, but I still like being surprised, even in small details such as artwork

[BlobVanDam]

I'd like to see a change in artist for the album art too, but please nothing abstract. Papa needs a new bicycle.

[cyberdrummer]

6 D's is my favorite cover.

Yeah but if somebody had posted the blank image without the name on it before the album was released, would you have said "Yes, now that's a DT album cover"?

[TAC]

That could probably be said for any art. Slap the DT logo on it and it makes perfect sense. What does DT art look like anyway.
Sure, I&W, Awake, and BCSL are close. But a clown on a tightrope?

[?]

I have to say I didn't expect to see a clown and a plane on a DT album cover, so the ADTOE cover wasn't a very typical or predictable DT cover to me.

I wouldn't mind if this ended up as the final artwork for DT12. Even with some minor alterations, but keeping the basic idea of the picture. So I could see this artwork paired with a single syllable title really work out.

You want another unicyclist to animate?

That's pretty good.

I'd still say ADToE has a similar feel to those others you mentioned.

There is a similar feel, yes, but the main grouping element I think he's referring to is that they are collage-like artworks featuring a token symbolizing each song on the record.

[rumborak]

If DT stick with Huge Syme as their cover artist, they really can't be helped. That stunt with the unicyclist was like pissing into DT's open mouth and then demanding money for it.

...was it?

[Kotowboy]

So when we gonna start getting everyone's awesome Photoshop artwork like we did for the last album ?

Some of them were incredible and way better than the final version !!!!


Come on DTf artists !! This is the part of the album cycle I look forward to ! Seeing everyone's artwork guesses !!

[Kotowboy]

Here is my one :

[Kotowboy]

Or to put it another Way :

[rumborak]

Not a fan of the title, but the picture is already a shit-ton better than all previous DT covers.
And the best part, it doesn't have the DT logo in it (when will that ever end?)

[Kotowboy]

Thank you ! Literally 5 minutes in Photoshop...


AND I used stock photos...


DO I GET THE JOB DT ?

[Kotowboy]

LAST ONE - pretty much the same idea... 

[Zook]

That's like asking Iron Maiden to stop using Eddie on their covers.

[Kotowboy]

I'm just doing these to hopefully inspire others who have *actual* Photoshop skills.

As I have none


But I do think I have an eye for composition. I just don't know how to work PS

[Cedar redaC]

I like this one. If I were making an album and were using that art, I would probably make this one the front cover and the first one the one you see when you open up the case.
