Does anyone know who made the art for the Covers from Black clouds and silver linings? Or more specifically where I can get the one for "To Tame A Land".





These are the ones I have collected so far, all in 1280 x 1280.

SystematicThought

To me, it looks like the work of Hugh Syme.

Also, I don't think there was one for To Tame a Land since it was the last one released and I think it came out after the album release

Monocrotis

I do believe there is one, because I see youtube videos with it on it. And I already looked at Hugh Syme's page but didn't really find anything relating to these cover arts.

You don't need to bump the thread when it is only a few down from the top of the page.

Hugh Syme did all the artwork, including that for the individual covers. And yes, there is artwork for To Tame a Land, which you can see in the BCaSL tourbook. IIRC, the coloring is similar to that of the Larks' Tongue cover, with elephants walking way in the background.

Everything from Octavarium up to DT12 (inclusive) is Syme, including live albums, singles, etc.

Would you mind telling me where I could find the BCaSL tourbook? I've tried google but nothing seems to appear. Would you mind posting the image?

A quick Google search brought to...well, back to DTF:

Looks like a user posted the art, but the link is now dead. Oh well... best of luck finding it! I've just been using the artwork from the Maiden Heaven tribute album, where the song was originally released.

Bumping for answer or possible image of To Tame A Land

turns out signatures are fundamentally broken now so here's my passive-aggressive signature about signatures instead

The hair by the drain for the Zebra cover is what gets me.  :lol

TioJorge

Oh my fucking god I just got that.  :rollin :rollin :lol :lol

Holy shit I'm crying. That is awesome. Like...what a deep, symbolic cover. Waaaah!  :lol :metal

That's one of those things that now that I 'see' it, I don't know how I didn't before but for some reason it just looked like an obscure clusterfuck and a random drain before. But this is so much better.

Oh, Hugh. Never change. Never learn photoshop. It's just too good.

I can see it now...
Hugh: "Hmm...take your fingers...from my hair..."
*Imagines a horrible scene with a man holding a woman by her hair* "YEAH I'LL TAKE MY FINGERS FROM YOUR HAIR BETCH" *RRRIIIP*
:eek Hugh: BRILLAINT!

That Stargazer's cover is really bad.  I don't think I ever really looked at these covers before.

I believe it was out before the album release and before any of the other covers were released because it was on the IM tribute album as mentioned.

Actually I haven't seen those as bad as they really are. These really are bad.. :-\

It's one where you take a glance and think "hm, looks ok", but when you actually look at it for even a few seconds, you stars to notice things like how everything looks so pasted together, there is no lighting, the background is low res etc. Not one of Hugh Syme's best, to say the least.

I think because on first glance you don't notice the kid.  Once you notice the kid, it's over, totally ruins the cover.
