As always happens, now that we have a new album title, people start creating fan-made artwork for it, so I thought it would be good to have one thread for it all! :D
I'll be moving posts from the stickied album into this one.
First
FANMADE artwork I have found inspired by the album title / tracklist.

I dig it, it's quite beautiful, especially the cloudy background and the central black-hole/gravitational lens. Maybe the white wings are a little cheesy, but they are not really out of place, so they don't bother me.
Actually, I feel that the real artwork will too feature some kind of space object or enviroment (but, hey, I'm not aniland, so you should not believe to what I foresee lightly :lol).
And sorry for the huge "fanmade", I just wanted to prevent someone from having a heart attack or anything ;)
Good one. :tup

I actually like that a lot.
meh pretty cliche stuff if you ask me. I wanna see some hand done art for the cover. I'm sick of clean photoshop layering collage stuff.

They did a good job though.

I agree on this point (it is time to make a change, we've had enough artwork with this style), yet the effort by the original artist is IMO to be praised, and the final result is actually something you won't recognise in the very first place as a fake cover art.
I would love to see some nice photography for a change. Me and the Train of Thought album art have a violent affair, so that would explain it.

Well.. This is a GOOD aproach!!!
I like that cover, it's artistic in a way and has meaning. Unfortunately it has no connection to the title or at least the meaning of this title. Thou it would work if by "A Dramatic Turn of Events" they ment the industrialization over the last century, but I don't see any reason for that.
Looks too campy and shopped.

well.. i guess the nuclear plants are more a reference to the earthquake, tsunami and later nuclear tragedy in Japan.. which for sure can be related to "a Dramatic turn of events"

I didn't see any relation to Japan in that picture. Perhaps if the nuclear plant looked similar to the one in Japan that would help? Or a wall of water of something?
Hi everyone ! I'm new here. This is my fanmade artwork.

Nice cover ucoskun, but you have to type "Dream TheAtER" if you want the letters to be right as the original logo :)
That is a very cool cover. Kind of depressing though.
I also like the one with the heavens in it since it seems to match the song titles.

This one reminds me very strongly of ACOS. If "Another World" (ACOS V) were to have an artwork by itself, this one would be more than perfect. It fits the mood and the lyrics very well :)
Other bands have done it before, but a photograph of a surface full of newspaper snippets and photos, all jumbled over each other, would be cool. That would work with the album title.

It took about 2 seconds for that too pop in my head. Awesome work by everyone so far though!
Here are some quick covers I did. I tried my best not to use many images and make something more abstract.
Also, bonus points for whoever finds the NUGGET in the first cover.

Love the font used for the album title, though. Really smooth.

Does it say "eleven" underneath the majesty symbol?
it looks there's a pic of JLB used as the "arrows" on the left side...aroudn the same hight as the words Dream Theater (whatever that may mean :P)
the nugget was guessed very quickly earlier.

Great entries guys!!! I always love this period when the album/title tracks of the new DT are announced.
People who know me a little bit know I'm up to something... ;) Stay tuned.
Oh, I see most of you also use the wrong DT font. If you want the original you can email me.

I just noticed there actually two versions of this fake? album art, the own posted above with the majesty symbol in the window to the left and on the side walk on the bottom right, however I just saw one on JP's forum that did not have the logo on the sidewalk.

Love this one, it's liek Scenes meets SDOIT. I much prefer those artistic covers to the Syme "photos of different shit thrown together" covers.
I know this isn't happening, but I would love it if they hire Jef Bertels (the guy who painted the Ayreon covers) https://www.jefbertels.be/
I just don't want to see yet another album cover that is worse than top covers made by fans :D

Some of this posts are probably better than the one DT will put up. I think "A Dramatic Turn of Events" will have a more positive album art though.
Yes, I think that it will be white or at least lighter than the last album covers...

Great work as usual Zydar. I'd only put the name of the band and album title on the usual place (up) because there's too much sky. Half picture is empty.
Nevertheless, beautiful image and concept.
Here's another idea for the new album cover!

I love how the first man in the row seems to be pulling JR's goatee :rollin
I support the thought of having the lettering of the band name in a different place than the usual "upper half, center". It worked great for SDOIT and Octavarium, why shouldn't it be done a bit different again, like on Zydar's picture?
Zydars and Rudess' are amazing!

Ack! Gonna disagree, but then again I have a bit of an obsession with the London Underground aesthetic. It feels ancient and brand new at the same time, which I really like.
And which really applies to the album. Plus the logo gives an extra focal point, not to mention that it adds a sense of scale - this isn't some outdated ruin, this is a capital city. Big Ben alone, I'd argue, is too subtle a signifier.
Really dig the art.

Yeah I like this one a lot!
If not for the door... It doesn't really say " moving away from our previous style " by having similar artwork to the preceding album.
Unless they're saying " we're slightly different but some elements remain " ...
I imagine the official artwork will be much different than what we're used to.

Better? ;)
Or maybe as part of the 8vm balloon:

Great! Now it looks like one of the Octavarium balls ;D
I'm impressed with all of your works. Personally I like Jared's cover most.

The clown is the best. I wish that was on the album. And on the back cover it should show the clown fall off the ball and the kid laughing hysterically. Just a thought!

Whoaa......so simple, yet awesome! Good job man!
Jared you are a monster! Awesome stuff. :)
These are all spectacular!! :eek
The fascination with doors and signposts is a really interesting trend. I wonder why everyone has latched onto those two ideas? The door is understandable because of BC&SL I suppose, but the signpost idea is novel for DT.
A lot of amazing things over the last few pages, particularly Jareds and Zydars, and the clown one :)

This just in, Zydar hates Africa!
Correction, the guy who made that wallpaper apparently hates Africa :P I just needed something apocalyptic for my design.
Really great job JaredWard! :omg:
The reason to include the door is continuity I guess but the cover could go a lot of places. If you notice there's a blue sky outside the door (BC&SL) so that's why I went with blueish skies for both designs :) included the lightning to represent the "dramatic turn" but I might add more things. I couldn't find a decent picture of a kid to put in the door though lol but ah well... glad you guys are digging it.

Thaters gonna thate.
Anyone know where I could get the most accurate vector format of the dream theater logo?
(https://i.imgur.com/Sk89V.jpg)
Gorgeous!
Incidentally - and I toyed with the idea of posting this as a thread back when the album title was first revealed - I came up with a fun game the whole family can play.
https://www.mendolaart.com/portfolio/0/63/5294/hugh_syme/0/
Dead easy - all you have to do is flick through Hugh Syme's portfolio and slap a logo and a title onto one of the pictures.
Extra points for scarring the top or the bottom with a gigantic black bar, a la Octavarium and Systematic Chaos.
EDIT:

Ta-daaaa!
I Got bored and made this. It's more of a poster-ish sort of thing than anything else, but I didn't really know where else to put it. I suppose for this particular thread it could be used as booklet artwork.
I know it's nowhere near as good as the others but I thought I'd try something more abstract with this one and put it on here anyway.
(https://img189.imageshack.us/img189/2097/dreamtheaterfieldthing.jpg) (https://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/189/dreamtheaterfieldthing.jpg/)
I did have the album title in there, but I think it looks better without it. I had the idea to put the DT logo in the field as sort of crop circle thing, but that is beyond me.

I like it a lot. Too much apocalypse for my taste here. Not to say the others are bad, most kick some serious ass. I'm glad for something more mellow though.

Different direction from these really busy ones. I really didn't want to use the majesty logo but I know people would be like "but the majesty logo!" so I added the 5 stars, representative of the members of the band.... lame I know.
Whoah, that's great!

Thanks. I doubt few people saw anything that has happened to dream theater over the past months. That was actually part of the reason for doing something totally different. All in the spirit of the latest happenings.
Also I used the earth turning around as a metaphor for JP's description of the lyrical content.
I actually kinda like that. The band needs to do something dramatically different like that.

It's a mistake; he meant to do IX / XIII to symbolize the 13th of September (release date)

Now this is the story all about how
Portnoy tried to join back, but they turned him down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the drummer of Dream Thea-tair
In Berklee college, born and raised
Teaching music is where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And blasting those drum fills throughout the school
When a couple of guys, rang and said I was good
Invited me to join their prog-metal hood
I packed my bags and was right over there
They said "Mangini, welcome, to Dream Thea-tair

Different from place to place.
In the UK, the top charts are released on a sunday, so albums and singles are traditionally released on mondays in order to give them the best opening week possible.
In the US, Billboard presumably updates on mondays, as album releases have defaulted to tuesdays. And then in parts of mainland Europe (Germany, Austria for instance) and I believe Australia (though I could be wrong!), the album will come out on a friday.
So there are likely to be quite a few release dates.

I'll tell you how I became the drummer of Dream Thea-tair
In Berklee college, born and raised
Teaching music is where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And blasting those drum fills throughout the school
When a couple of guys, rang and said I was good
Invited me to join their prog-metal hood
I packed my bags and was right over there
They said "Mangini, welcome, to Dream Thea-tair
Well done, sir!
Yeah the original press release said that, but I think they were still out of date, because originally the notification on DT.net said 13th but now it says 12th. Looky: https://www.dreamtheater.net/news_dreamtheater.php#pressrelease
Some people said that US releases have moved to Mondays now; don't know anything about it myself of course, being a limey Brit!
Oop, crikey. Well behind the times.
Good call, though. The extra day's wait helps nothing, and I think it's consistently suffered from the latest release dates of any country. Glad for the limeless.

I think if they like an image and contact the author, and they agree, they can use it. It's just a matter of communication. But of course, they'll pay a professional to do it, and that professional has his or her routine and known sources, so this is highly improbable.

It's a time signature. The joke is that Dream Theater always use odd time signatures, and the Dramatic Turn Of Events is that the album uses 4/4 time signature, which is as basic as they come. It speaks for itself really.

If that sky, clouds and wing will be a part of a cover, they will be always reminding me of my flight to Spain :) which was my first flight in life ;)
Definitely want something in that vein ^.
Octavarium is my favourite DT album / cover.
Something about the airy cover totally fits the mood of the album.
Also, it will be a nice contrast to the black cover / dark nature of the last album :)
I just went through this thread for the first time. A lot of great work both serious and funny but this tops the "will be better than the official artwork" contest imo

;) I knew somebody would do that... I like the cover. It's simple and it has that ''less is more'' feeling like the Octavarium cover.
So I assume it's from Hugh Syme again. Not sure 'bout the perspective of the majesty symbol though... looks off.

I just don't get what purpose that plane serves in the picture. Looks as if it's there just to provide some space for the majesty logo to be put onto. The freedom and openness of being high up in the sky would be emphasized more without it IMO.
Still.. I love clowns, so no reason to complain for me ;D
Maybe we haven't seen the full art and this is a teaser? Maybe this is the single cover? Maybe once we understand the rest of the song titles it will make more sense?
Probably the background for the lyrics in the booklet.
I think it looks bad though..
I'd almost like to see the door with the kid at the end of the tight rope, and instead of the airplane wing - have the sign post with the majesty coming up from the clouds. :corn
Unicycling into Infinity
i swear us DTFians have better ideas about the artwork than DT themselves
I still wonder if this is just a cover for the single (even though it has the album title on it).
It wouldn't be my favorite album cover, but the most important thing is the music for me. I wasn't too crazy about the art for SDOIT and that album ending up being phenomenal. Hopefully history will repeat itself. ;D

Beneath The Surface Yeah, designers can be pretty strange sometimes ;)

;) I knew somebody would do that... I like the cover. It's simple and it has that ''less is more'' feeling like the Octavarium cover.

no, it wasn't hugh syme, i said, it was me
It's definitely worse than most fan made covers.
I just took the bandpic and made a wallpaper out of it. Maybe some of you have use for it, so here it is (1680x1050):

IMO it's supposed to have cut the rope, although it's far low for that.
Hi guys,this is my first post here!I created this some days ago:
(https://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2037/dreamtheateri.jpg)
It may look a bit empty but it kind of connects to the story.The watch represents the break that MP wanted,the sea represents the guys rejecting the idea and the light that is rising in the background is the new drummer,bringing a new age for the band.I hope you like it!
Edit:I must admit I like it better now,here it is without the glow.Thanks for the tip,everyone!
https://img197.imageshack.us/img197/6108/dreamtheater2.jpg
I'm not a fan of the glow around the lettering. Other than that, I liked it. Better than the official, that's for sure.
Yep! Glow aside, that's absolutely gorgeous. And the glow's not that bad. Damn cool work, Stone.
Take off the glow, and you have some gorgeous cover art! Also, great first post, welcome!

I also don't really like the glow, but it's not that bad like robwebster said
Also way better than the official cover idd

The art itself is really good. But elephants, eagles... It's way too much like BCSL
Yeah,the elephant brings BCSL in mind..But other than that,i like it.I edited my original post,you can see it without the glow.

I bet if MP was in the band and the album title was A Dramatic Turn of Events, he'd release a drum DVD called A DRUMatic Turn of Events :P
I was deep in thought on the toilet and thought the exact same thing, only, I wondered if MM will release a DVD entitled the same thing.
Oh how the human mind ponders when on the toilet.
Another wallpaper, for all the JLB-lovers out there ;)

Almost there, except for one key detail. I want Mike Portnoy to release it. A full-length DVD of him playing along to the entirity of the new album.

ITT: Album artwork far superior to the actual album's artwork.
Thank you very much!
I lol'd at the "drumatic turn of events"!And i'm sure that would be the title of the video that MP would release.Even though,the album wouldn't be called "dramatic turn of events" if he hadn't left. :-\
DT should really pick a fan's artwork for every album. Ever since fans started doing this, their covers have been so much better, it's almost embarrassing for them, imo. Either that, or they should do it like Arjen - hire a real artist to paint the damn thing.

This, I totally agree. I saw tons of much better artworks on DTF than offcial ADTOE cover, even if I like the sky and the man on the rope and the beautiful HD clouds, it is a must to admit that we can find better ones here ;)

I was being serious. I don't need any visual metaphors. But a beautiful seascape, this is something I can enjoy.
Simply getting rid of the clown and tightrope would sure help the real cover, too.
Man, you guys do some beautiful covers. I may actually take one of these as a cover art for my music player instead of the real cover, unless there happens to be something really significant about the real cover.
Also, it would be awesome to see people's interpretations of past albums. Was there a thread for BC&SL? I was self-banned for a while so I am not sure if there was.

In fairness, Steve
has worked for Dream Theater.
I would say that Hugh Syme is, to his credit, a little more consistent than Steve, but given that Hugh's been doing it for decades, it's hard not to be floored by how often Steve aces it - and sometimes exceeds Syme's stuff. It's amazing that there's even a comparison, let alone how well they hold up against each other. Stellar stuff.

Here is my latest creation. I was inspired by the picture below. I had to make the guy's body more feminine using ''Puppet Warp'' (awesome tool in photoshop CS5). Sky, rocks, lightning, wings, sea and woman's head are all separate images. The rain and splashes I made myself with some psd tricks. And a dozen of other things which I will not tell. ;)

It looks nicer than the actual cover, but it'd be too dark to fit the album.
Well, it would have been one of the best (if not the best) looking DT artwork, still. And we would have enjoyed the speculation on the similarities with the FII cover. :)
Reminds me maybe too much like Wither EP cover but still better than the actual cover. Far better.
Before reading this topic, I thought I was the only one strongly disliking ADTOE album cover.
Thank you for your support guys.
I hope for a dramatic turn of art in the next album.
